Business Opportunities and Support Services (BOSS) NZAID TIM/12/02/NZE The project will create sustainable economic opportunities by upgrading selected value chains that will stimulate demand for enterprises to develop new products and services. This will be done by supporting relevant public and private institutions to deliver need/market-oriented services to entrepreneurs, promote a better coordination and alignment of private sector initiatives and contribute to a “private-sector-sound” rural development strategy. In particular the Project tackles the lack of dialogue and coordination between the public and private sectors; lack of market access for products and services; ineffective utilization of local resources / opportunities and the weak managerial and entrepreneurial knowledge. The Project pays particular attention to economic empowerment of women and gender sensitivity of the Project’s and SEAPRI’s activities. Using a systemic approach to enterprise development the Project will upgrade the selected value chains. Currently the Project is working in the beef cattle and organic horticulture sectors. The tourism sector has been identified as another target sector to be commenced this year. The proposed expansion of the Project will scale up interventions in these three sectors, and increase the geographic scope. The Project furthermore supports, with existing Irish Aid funding, the booming construction sector to tackle the issue of the limited and often-ineffective involvement of civil works contractors in Government capital works delivery. In this regard, the Project focuses on improving the capacity of local civil works contractors to enable them to effectively participate in basic infrastructure rehabilitation tenders, issued by both local and central Government and to better manage contracts. During the five years of Project implementation, IADE will be progressively enabled to fulfil its mandate of boosting private sector growth and developing the rural economy. This will be achieved by promoting, designing and implementing programmes that foster MSEs and contractors growth through improved market access, business matchmaking and enhanced provision of business development services and business information, ensuring equal access of women and men to services, inputs and markets.
Youth Entrepreneurship in Development in Teluk Bintuni Between 2006-2011, the ILO office was implementing an Education and Skills Training Project for Youth Employment (ILO EAST) in six provinces in Indonesia including West Papua. The project provided improved services to in-school and out-of school youth in the fields of life skills/ job and education counseling/ vocational skills/ entrepreneurship, in order to facilitate school to work transition and promote youth employment opportunities. As the ILO East and BP Beau Ltd shared some common vision for supporting the development of employment opportunities for out-of-school youth in West Papua through livelihoods promotion, both parties realized that collaboration between both the programmes implemented by ILO and BP would facilitate better delivery of the vocational and entrepreneurship programme in Bintuni Bay area where BP has operations and long term plans for human development. In 2011-2012, under the Agreement between The International Labour Organization and BP Berau Ltd. For Youth Enterpreneurship Development in Teluk Bintuni, West Papua on 30 May 2011, the ILO has successfully implement entrepreneurship development program in Teluk Bintuni. This new concept note will continue the work that has been done by ILO and BP in Teluk Bintuni Area. Referring the Agreement between The International Labour Organization and BP Berau Ltd. For Youth Enterpreneurship Development in Teluk Bintuni, West Papua on 30 May 2011 and based on recent discussion between the ILO and BP Berau Ltd, this ToR outlines additional outputs to be conducted by the ILO for the activities in Teluk Bintuni in West Papua, keeping the same outcome of the project: Outcome 1 “Access of disadvantaged youth to relevant and market-oriented livelihood skills development opportunities and entrepreneurship development is increased. Following the project activities conducted by the ILO and BP Berau Ltd in 2011 – 2012, BP Berau Ltd have facilitated establishment of 4 companies where the youth from Teluk Bintuni are now working in: 1.

Implementing Occupational Safety and Health Legislation in Papua New Guinea The ILO Office of Pacific Island Countries has provided technical support to Papua New Guinea (PNG) Department of Labour and Industrial Relations (DLIR) to develop new occupational safety and health (OSH) legislation. PNG’s Department of Labour and Industrial Relations (DLIR) has developed a new OSH Bill to substantially update the existing legislative framework and repeal at least 12 outdated ordinances and regulations in this area. This work has been supported with technical assistance from the Fiji Government under a Memorandum of Understanding and additional support from the ILO relating to providing Technical Memoranda on compliance with international labour standards. It is expected the legislation will be passed into law this year. In preparation for the passing of legislation into law, in 2014, the ILO Office of Pacific Island Countries conducted a participatory capacity assessment of the DLIR’s OSH and labour inspectors capacity with respect to implementing future legislative responsibilities. This work, in addition to wider ongoing discussions with the DLIR, has identified three areas of development need; namely: I. The need to strengthen the management capacity of DLIR to fulfil their role and responsibilities under the new legislation. II. The need to strengthen the technical capacity of inspectors of DLIR to fulfil their role and responsibilities under the new legislation. III. The need to inform workers and employers of their rights, roles and responsibilities under the new legislation The development objective therefore is that the capacities of the Government, employers and workers to implement their respective rights, roles and responsibilities under new OSH legislation in PNG is strengthened. This year the ILO is providing technical support for the development of a Train-the-Trainers Foundation Skills Training Programme for Inspectors which will provide some foundation work for strengthening the technical capacity of inspectors referred to above. This training is underpinned by, and promotes, International Labour Standards relating to labour inspection (e.g. ILO Convention 81) and Occupational Safety and Health. It focuses on basic inspection skills and includes training units that specifically target vulnerable groups, including responsive inspection strategies focusing on disability and gender. This is considered the first step in building inspection capacity. However there is a significant need to move beyond this to more specialised training and broaden the focus to strengthening management capacity as well as the capacities of employers and workers to understand their roles and responsibilities under OSH legislation. The ILO and DLIR have discussed future needs in some detail and this concept note reflects the outcomes of these discussions.
Technical Support on Labour Inspection and OSH This project aims at improving workplace compliance through labour inspection and promotion of preventive Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) culture at both enterprise and societal levels, including in the healthcare sector. The ILO will support constituents and relevant partner organisations to enhance the national capacity to plan, develop and implement strategies to strengthen workplace compliance in line with international labour standards, national labour laws and collective agreements. It will provide technical support for the ratification of the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), the Prevention of Major Industrial Accidents Convention, 1993 (No. 174), and the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187). Through the ongoing SCORE (Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises) project, technical support will be provided to improve OSH compliance in SMEs and strengthen the service function of safety and health inspectors. Workplace maternity protection will be included as part of OSH compliance.
Technical support on employment to address Syrian crisis Within the framework of the ILO response to the Syrian crisis, this project aims at enhancing access to employment opportunities and livelihoods in Jordanian host communities. In continuation of initiatives that started in 2013, the ILO will go into a partnership with UNHCR where UNHCR will be subsidizing the cost of 2,000 work permits for Syrian refugees and the ILO will provide those same refugees with on-the-job training. The focus will also be on advocacy work for an improved regulatory environment and for providing job matching and recruitment services for temporary jobs in targeted sectors. Joint ventures will be established between host community members and Syrian refugees to allow for local business owners to expand their outreach and for the refugees to access livelihoods and income generating activities. These joint initiatives will also have a conflict prevention impact by bringing together the interests of the Jordanian and refugee communities. Overall, the initiatives will support policy development to ensure an employment-rich national response, embedded in the principles of decent work.

Community-based enterprise development to strengthen grassroots activities targeting vulnerable workers and business owners in the informal economy This project will improve the ability of tripartite partners and skills development programs targeting vulnerable workers in the informal economy to provide low cost, high impact training on business development. Constituents in Thailand and Lao PDR will gain practical experience in integrating augmented Community-Based Enterprise Development (C-BED) tools into grassroots interventions, improving the resilience and self-reliance of vulnerable workers and MSE through technical skills in enterprise development. Trainees will develop the capacity to start or improve businesses when faced with necessity or pursuing opportunity and C-BED will add value by providing additional development of soft skills to be an effective problem solver, to analyse skills and business opportunities objectively, and to communicate, network, lead, and evaluate activities with others. This project will also contribute to the maturation of the tripartite intervention Supporting Grass-Roots Activities (SGRA) through the International Employers’ and Workers’ Network in Thailand and Lao PDR, resulting in strengthened social-dialogue and improved social protection for the informal economy. The augmented training tools and implementation model developed will guide the further development of SGRA interventions regionally and ultimately promote institutionalization of C-BED in tripartite programmes globally
