Strengthened institutional capacity of employers' organizations In 2017, the ILO undertook an assessment of the Enabling Environment for Sustainable Enterprises (EESE) in Namibia based on a primary enterprise survey and review of secondary data on political, economic, social and environmental indicators. The EESE assessment confirmed the lack of an enabling business environment and especially the lack of access to financial and non-financial business development services (BDS) are the key constraints to entrepreneurship and sustainable enterprises development. 

NEF Launched the EESE report and a Private sector Business Agenda. The Business Agenda (BA) proposes specific reforms to be implemented for improved business environment in Namibia 

The ILO trained employers on convention 111 including other related areas as identified by CAS. In 2022, the ILO delivered two trainings on C11 focusing on: 
a) Strengthened knowledge base on ILS, including those related to gender equality and HIV /AIDS. 
b) Employers sensitized on Convention 111 and related recommendations as per CAS 
c) Highlight the case for and the benefits of implementing the convention 
d) Sharing best practice on implementing the convention 
e) Employers guided to identify and document: 
Immediate actions they need to take in aligning their policies with C111 
A roadmap for further capacity building on C111 and other equality conventions and Recommendations 
Action plan (with time frame) to develop an industry self-regulation system/mechanism 

The Namibia Employers Federation (NEF)  strategic plan for 2017-2019  long expired  and there will be need for NEF  to relook at the new environment vs its current capacity and to articulate a roadmap for delivering its mandate in the next 3-5 years. Further, the changing business environment at the national, regional, and global levels, particularly the effects of COVID-19 pandemic call for the NEF to reflect on its strategic focus, assess the risks it may face in the future with a view to align its efforts with

Strengthened constituents' capacity to analyse labour market indicators targeting better employment services and high impact partnerships for promoting decent work In 2023, external pressures like geopolitical conflicts and inflation from the COVID-19 pandemic intensified. Brazil's new government faced challenges in Congress, impacting economic and social policies. Despite this, Brazil’s economy grew by 2.9%, with record employment and lower unemployment. However, issues like informality, low wages, child labor, and youth unemployment persisted.

The ILO Office for Brazil aims to use data from surveys and censuses to inform public policies and utilize information from observatories for labor and human rights policies. It plans to promote the inclusion of Indigenous and traditional communities, develop sustainable models for mining communities, and implement due diligence in supply chains. Additionally, it will create occupational projections for job and training policies, apply advanced methods for productive inclusion, promote green jobs in government projects, and increase its online presence in Brazil.

La promotion de l'entrepreneuriat,notamment auprès des jeunes femmes et hommes, ainsi que l'appui aux micro, petites et moyennes favorisent la création d'emplois, la relance socio-économique, et le développement durable L’économie Congolaise reste fortement dépendante   du secteur pétrolier faute de faibles capacités gouvernementales et institutionnelles à diversifier l’économie du pays. Il s’observe une précarité de l’emploi qui rime avec le secteur informel (suite au gel de recrutement dans la fonction publique et la timidité des recrutements dans les entreprises formelles) congolais présentant plusieurs caractéristiques, entre autres; une très forte concentration dans le commerce et ses activités assimilées (alimentation, boutique, quincaillerie, etc.) car 75,76% des unités économiques informelles (UEI) y interviennent. 61,57% d’entreprises informelles sont individuelles.  Les taux d’occupation de la main d’œuvre sont élevés, synonyme d’un dynamisme du marché du travail. Le taux a crû de 57.7% en 2007 à 62.3% en 2017. 
La stratégie consiste à améliorer les connaissances  du Ministère des PME sur les stratégies et programmes d’appui au développement des PME et  les outils de formation en entrepreneuriat développés par le BIT (GERME, GET AHEAD, COOP, MyCOOP), à soutenir l’actualisation de la politique nationale de développement  du Congo, sensible au genre, à la fragilité et qui s’inscrit dans l’accélération de la diversification de l’économie Congolaise et en fin de renforcer les capacités institutionnelles du personnel du Ministère des PME et des structures sous-tutelles dont l’ADPME. Un plan de renforcement des capacités techniques du Ministère des PME et ses structures sous-tutelle est à  élaborer et à  être mis en œuvre, en partie avec la collaboration du Centre international de formation de l’OIT à Turin (CIF-Turin).

DCI also identified areas of research and invested some resources to expand and improve its research capacity, enabling them to conduct a skill needs assessment in Adra Industrial Zone with aims to advocate for the need to re-open TVET centres within the Industrial Zone and decided to offer advice and information on occupational safety and health (OSH) to members by hiring a dedicated staff on a part-time basis. The skills development center is an ambitious project that require considerable resources. A sustainable income strategy and business plan to effectively run this training center/service sustainably will be developed.

Offre de formation de l'enseignement technique et professionnel en milieu rural au Gabon améliorée Au Gabon, le taux de chômage a grimpé à 20,5% en 2020, notamment en raison de la crise économique induite par la pandémie de Covid-19. Les jeunes de 15 à 24 ans et les femmes sont les plus touchés, avec des taux de chômage respectifs de 36% et 32%. Les compétences de la main-d'œuvre ne répondent pas aux besoins du marché du travail, ce qui limite les investissements dans des secteurs clés tels que l'agriculture et la transformation du bois. De plus, le marché du travail est largement influencé par le secteur informel, dominé par des étrangers qui acquièrent souvent leurs compétences sur le terrain. 

Dans ce contexte, cette stratégie vise à réviser la stratégie nationale en matière de compétences et de la formation professionnelle. Elle cherche également promouvoir l’adoption des mesures spécifiques pour intégrer le développement des compétences dans d’autres politiques telles que la protection sociale, l’emploi, la croissance, l’industrie, entre autres. De plus, elle prévoit d’établir des solutions de gouvernance tripartite pour le développement des compétences et l'apprentissage tout au long de la vie, ainsi que de renforcer leur capacité à mener des initiatives liées à l'anticipation des besoins en compétences et à la mesure de l'inadéquation des compétences au niveau sectoriel. En outre, elle s'engage à appuyer les mandants dans l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre des programmes inclusifs pour offrir davantage d'opportunités d'emploi aux jeunes et aux communautés rurales.

Enhanced capacity of tripartite constituents to promote compliance, improve OSH and eliminate worst forms of child labour through social dialogue Occupational safety and health (OSH) culture among other Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work needs to be nurtured in the early recovery phase to mitigate occupational risks that expose workers to injuries and death.   
ILO will support the creation of such a culture through the Development of an OSH profile and its tripartite adoption. This will be also done through the training of trainers for labour inspection and OSH experts, compliance improvement at private factories, and the establishment of an OSH training centre in Adra Industrial Zone. This centre will be managed by the Damascus Chamber of Industry and will support synergies with available OSH training courses including with the General Federation of Trade Unions.
Decent work and the status of agriculture workers in the sector are advanced through a compliance model that strengthens productivity, national labour legislation and adheres to international labour standards New forms of work in the online and digital economy can be an enabler of employment for both host communities and refugees. Ensuring labour regulations apply to new forms of work is also critical to ensure the employment that is created is also decent. In light of the discussion on the expansion of employment in the digital economy, ILO will launch a dialogue on decent work in the digital economy with its tripartite constituents and key stakeholders.

Enhanced partnerships and communication for policy coherence to achieve decent work results Weak labour productivity has been a persistent challenge. In the last twenty years labour productivity growth has been constantly below the global average and has been declining since 2010 as shown in the “Productivity growth, diversification and structural change in the Arab States” published by the ILO in March 2022. Moreover, SMEs in the formal private sector in the Arab region have the lowest Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and hire less skilled labour. Building on the above reports and on the research on pro-productivity organizations, further efforts are needed to fill the knowledge gaps and engage in informed discussions that can put productivity growth and economic diversification for decent work at the heart of the policy agenda. including through supporting the development of national/regional productivity platforms or networks and the implementation of advocacy strategies. 
The Arab States region is also characterised by comparatively low inter-regional trade and participation in many of the major global supply chains. However, national development strategies in GCC countries prioritise economic diversification, including strategies to seek inter-regional cooperation, integrate into regional and global supply chains, attract and retain foreign investment. These dynamics create the potential for new entry points to engage constituents on the relevance of labour provisions in trade and investment agreements and responsible business conduct. The outcome will build the knowledge gaps, and the capacity of ILO tripartite constituents in these two areas of work and strengthen the ILO’s leadership position on issues related to productivity and decent work and decent work in supply chains as well as the labour dimensions of trade and investment. This requires further knowledge, research and data on regional relevance of these instruments and closer engagement with EMBOs, UNGC, other international organisations and initiatives in the region.
