Policy Support to an ECLT-sponsored Conference in Malawi on Child labour in Agriculture At the initiative of ECLT, an international conference on child labour in agriculture, will be organized in early 2012. The Government has formed a Task Force to support the organization of this conference. Representatives of workers’ and employers’ organizations form part of this, as Government recognizes them as crucial partners without whose efforts the fight against child labour cannot be won. To ensure effective coordination among and participation of all relevant agriculture and labour stakeholders, it is recommended that the Task Force include representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, sectoral agricultural workers’ organizations (for example TOTAWUM; SPAWUM, PAWUM), and agricultural producers’ organizations such as NASFAM. ILO-IPEC proposes to support ECLT in the policy and research initiatives leading up to the conference. These will be vital in ensuring that the conference leads to increased efforts to tackle child labour in agriculture, including in tobacco growing, farming, fishing and livestock, led by the Government of Malawi and in support of the NAP and its agricultural component. In order to build consensus and monitor progress on the agricultural component of the NAP, a series of workshops with ILO constituents and other relevant stakeholders, especially from Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, agricultural producers and other relevant agricultural organizations, will be held, also in preparation for the conference. The content of these workshops will be determined by national agriculture and labour stakeholders, in consultation with the national tripartite Task Force established to support the project, and with technical support from the International partnership for cooperation on child labour in agriculture. They will include thematic specific focus on capacity building, policy and legislative review, coordination, and mainstreaming of child labour in agriculture and rural development policy, as well as a specific focus on hazardous child labour in agriculture. To support the conference objectives, ILO-IPEC will also conduct tailored qualitative research. This research will complement ongoing IPEC research into child labour in tobacco and may focus on other crops and agriculture activities. A research gap analysis will be conducted in coordination with the Task Force and members of the International partnership in order to determine this research agenda. The research will provide inputs into the conference, particularly for specific technical sessions, and will focus on identifying solutions to the main challenges and constraints faced by agricultural communities and producers in eliminating child labour.
Support to reduce the stigma and discrimination among women and men workers, their families and dependents
Business Opportunities and Support Services (BOSS) The present Project will support 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 - based upon a systemic approach to enterprise development - the Project intends to tackle the lack of dialogue and coordination between the public and the private sectors; the lack of market access for products and services; the ineffective utilization of local resources / opportunities; the weak managerial and entrepreneurial knowledge and the limited and often ineffective involvement of civil works contractors in Government budget service delivery. In respect to the latter constraint, it is expected that - in the short-medium term - the Project will place a particular focus 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. During the four years of implementation, the Institute for Business Support (IADE) and the National Directorate for Rural Development (NDRD) of MED will be progressively enabled to fulfill their mandate of boosting private sector growth and developing the rural economy at the district level. 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. The Project will act as a facilitator, focusing on technical assistance, coordination, networking, and information. By adopting this approach, the Project will develop its counterparts’ capacity to do and deliver, rather than to do and deliver directly. Furthermore, the Project will follow the path set by the other ILO interventions in Timor-Leste, being fully integrated within the institutional counterpart. The Project international expertise will work “directly” with MED officials, constituting an enlarged strong “one-team” and representing a continued institution building resource. This approach will facilitate capacity building through the daily sharing of offices and objectives, and through the mutual and continued exposure that encourages permanent sharing of knowledge and experiences.

Support cooperatives development and strengthen business development services in disaster and conflict-affected districts
Development Grant Facility - Promoting Youth Employment and Employability The overall objectives of the Partnership are to build and disseminate evidence on youth employment outcomes and proven methods to improve them in the Africa and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions. In FY12, YEN will continue contributing to these objectives while preparing the foundation for sustainability and anchorage of tested initiatives developed through the DGF. Objectives by component: 1. Broadening the evidence on what works – the Youth Employment Inventory: The component aims at improving knowledge on youth employment programs by analyzing and sharing results from the systematic stock taking exercises of youth ALMPs in Kenya and Egypt. 2. Promoting rigorous results based management – the Taqeem Evaluation Fund: The component increases the evaluation evidence from youth employment programs by encouraging practitioners to learn and go through rigorous impact assessments and by sharing the results with the broader public. 3. Laying ground for new alliances and replication of tested youth employment initiatives supported by the DGF in Africa: This component supports a sustainability and anchorage strategy for a tested, successful DGF product designed to support youth participation and employment for young Africans. 4. Increasing collaboration with other DGF partners: This minor component provides visibility and reputation for the DGF for uniting all four DGF partners in a common purpose – to host the “go to” conference for regional youth employment programs and policies in Africa. It also allows for wide spread communication of learning of what works. Direct beneficiaries for all three components include policy makers and planners, practitioners, researchers and academics conducting program evaluations and/or specializing on impact M&E, grant making organizations serving youth, and World Bank staff and clients. Results and findings from these components can already have a positive impact in the short-run by providing program information and platforms for sharing of experiences. In a longer term, results from meta-studies and impact evaluations as well as the adoption of tested products by local partners will feed into policy and program design and will support the effort of governments around the world with improved tools to address youth unemployment. While YEN’s 2012 activities preserve a regional-wide scope, they feature a dedicated focus on Kenya and Egypt, and to a lesser extent on Algeria and Senegal.

Integrating decent employment in the formulation, implementation and monitoring of development strategies in Indonesia and the Philippines Development objective: To contribute to poverty reduction in Indonesia and the Philippines through the creation of better income earning job opportunities. Immediate objective: Strengthened national capacities in Indonesia and the Philippines to formulate, implement and monitor employment components of development plans This project proposal seeks to build on the outcomes of the previous project (RAS/11/54/ROK) to continue to support the tripartite constituents in Indonesia and the Philippines in formulating, implementing and monitoring employment components of development plans. In Indonesia, this will include: a) supporting the National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS) in undertaking background studies and tripartite dialogue on possible employment targets in the next Medium Term Development Plan 2015-19; b) strengthening the collection and analysis of sex- and age- disaggregated data on vacancies, jobseekers and placements (i.e. data and analysis of employment services) being gathered by two district offices of the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower. The two target districts will be decided based on discussions with the Ministry of Manpower, but could include the Special Capital City District of Jakarta and East Java. In undertaking this component, collaboration with the Korea Labour Information Service (KLIS) will be undertaken, including through a study tour to Korea and KLIS experts undertaking missions to the two districts in Indonesia for knowledge sharing. The enhanced collection and analysis of such data can provide important insights in the formulation, implementation and monitoring of the next Medium Term Development Plan 2015-19, and in the design of appropriate active labour market and other policies to support inclusive job-rich growth in Indonesia In the Philippines, the project will: a) assess the “decent work intensity” of a number of the priority sectors identified in the Philippines Development Plan (PDP) 2011-2016; b) assess the human resource capacities to support the growth of the priority sectors, in collaboration with the Korea Labour Institute (KLI); c) strengthen the analytical capacities of national constituents, including that of the Institute of Labour Studies of the DOLE so as to strengthen institutional capacities to implement and monitor the Philippines Development Plan (PDP) 2011-2016, Philippines Labor and Employment Plan (PLEP) 2011-2016, and the industrial strategy of the Philippines. Areas for capacity-building in this regard include evidence-based policy analysis and undertaking employment projections. In undertaking this component, collaboration with the Korea Labour Institute will be undertaken.

The project proposes BASF to become a co sponsor of the next call for proposals scheduled for early 2011.
Institutional capacity building of workers' and employer's organiazations to effectively contribute to national Global Jobs Patcs processes and economic recovery The project aims at building the capacity of social partners to be independent, representative, effective and pro-active actors in forging national jobs pacts, thus contributing to national development policies. More specifically the project will help employers’ and workers’ organizations to: ¿ identify major constraints to putting decent work, full and productive employment and sustainable enterprise development at the core of the policy response to the crisis; ¿ make use of ILO standards and tools relevant to crisis response; ¿ integrate their priorities in GJP processes as well as in DWCPs, Poverty Reduction Strategies and the implementation of the UNMDG; ¿ define pro-active policy responses for economic recovery, in the light of the recommendations formulated in the Global Jobs Pact as well as of the experience and lessons learnt from other countries. The definition of policy responses will have a double focus: what policy solutions yield best results, with special attention to the gender dimension and to the areas of economy and society more vulnerable to the effects of the crisis; and which institutional processes may be most helpful in reaching these results; ¿ develop the capacity for employers’ and workers’ organizations on the methods and processes to implement their policy proposals and exert more influence, through social dialogue, lobbying and advocacy, in the design and planning of National Jobs Pacts. The objective of the project will be achieved through national activities in El Salvador, Jordan and Indonesia as well as international knowledge-sharing activities with the involvement of more countries, including all the GJP pilot countries. These activities are designed to become an integral part of the broader Employers’ and Workers’ training programmes and, through cost-sharing arrangements with other funding sources, their results will be disseminated to a larger group of countries and organizations.
