Gobernanza de la migración laboral y su vínculo con el desarrollo en Malí, Mauritania y Senegal El objetivo de desarrollo del proyecto es contribuir a maximizar los beneficios de la migración de mano de obra ordenada en Malí, Mauritania y Senegal, para promover el desarrollo sostenible y la reducción de la pobreza. La estrategia de este proyecto se basa sobre la experiencia de la OIT en la materia en la sub-región y en particular sobre lecciones aprendidas por el proyecto piloto “Asistencia Técnica para la mejora de la coordinación de los flujos migratorios de Senegal, Mauritania y Malí y España”. Al analizar la problemática en esta área geográfica, destaca por un lado que los movimientos migratorios hacia Europa, de los que se ocupará específicamente este proyecto, han incrementado notablemente en los últimos años y son causa de creciente preocupación debido a su carácter irregular. Sin embargo, los canales regulares hoy en día siguen siendo bastante limitados. Por otro lado, aparece una distancia relevante entre los perfiles socio-profesionales de los/las candidatos/as a la migración de Mauritania, Malí y Senegal, y la demanda en los países de destino. Finalmente, si bien las políticas migratorias de los países de origen y destino promueven la migración circular y temporal, el retorno continúa siendo difícil al no existir medidas para facilitar la reintegración de los trabajadores/as migrantes/as en el mercado laboral de su país de origen. El proyecto propone tres objetivos específicos para responder a los citados retos. Estos objetivos son: en primer lugar el fortalecimiento institucional y mejora de los mecanismos de intermediación laboral y gestión de los flujos migratorios, en segundo lugar la mejora del sistema de formación profesional para asegurar una respuesta más adecuada a la demanda de mano de obra en el mercado español, y por ultimo el apoyo a un sistema de incentivo al retorno y reinserción laboral en el país de origen para impulsar la circularidad de la migración y la maximización de sus beneficios para la sociedad de origen y de destino y para los mismo trabajadores migrantes. La intervención está planificada sobre un período de 4 años.

Communication Campaign in Italy on ILO Activities and Technical Cooperation The ILO – often with the support and cooperation of specific governments – undertakes significant activities and projects around the world to tackle poverty, promote youth employment, international labour standards, combat child labour etc. in line with its mandate and the ILO’s Decent Work Agenda. The challenge remains, however, to demonstrate to the public key decision makers and governments the scale and nature of the problems that are being addressed, and that there are practical and effective solutions to them. It is essential that those, in targeted communities, understand and support these activities, but it is also very important that the public in the donor countries are aware of the work being undertaken and the progress made. Building on the ILO Rome Branch Office (RBO) experience in the field of communication in Italy, it is hoped that this project will allow the ILO to communicate effectively, transparently and persuasively its challenges and successes to the Italian public, policy makers and constituents, and in doing so, make the case that, with sufficient will and cooperation, these problems can be better understood.
Palestinian Women Economic Empowerment Initiative Palestinian women refugees’ work in the informal economy is often in activities with marginal returns and occupationally segregated. They receive inconsistent and often inadequate wages, work in insecure job environments, and receive little or no social protection. They have neither the security of property rights, nor the bargaining power and leverage to improve their choices. They predominantly work alone and have yet to tap into the potential power of pooling their resources to reach a common business goal. Their work is rightly termed “informal” as it is “not recognized, protected or regulated by the public authority.” For Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, structural obstacles, including legal and institutional obstacles, force their work in the informal economy, since they continue to be precluded from basic labour rights by law. As a result, the bulk of all employment for Palestinian refugees is in the informal economy, characterized by poor-quality employment, the absence of rights at work, inadequate social protection, and the lack of representation and voice. Palestinians are not legally entitled to form voluntary associations between themselves, including cooperatives. Instead they form “gatherings,” which behave as informal cooperatives and are predominantly concentrated in agriculture, manufacturing and handicrafts sectors. Subsequent to the 2007 NBC crisis, it is estimated that 30,000 refugees were displaced while 5,000 families lost their main source of livelihood. The ILO has been implementing projects on women entrepreneurship development and promoting workers’ rights in the informal economy across the region and will draw upon this knowledge, expertise and experience in the implementation of the initiative. The development objective of the project is to address decent work deficits at work in the refugee camp economy of Nahr El Bared (NBC) and Beddawi (BC) in North Lebanon, while promoting economic empowerment and cooperation among women entrepreneurs. To date, while several development initiatives have addressed Palestinian employability in Lebanon, none of the projects have focused on achieving decent work conditions through the formation of business groups and tailoring business development services on the basis of needs of these groups.

Global Product - Forced Labour The proposed action aims at facilitating programming of Irish Aid funding allocated to support the elimination of forced labour. Total approved funding is around US$ 4.7 million over a period of 4 years, and a significant part of it will be decentralized to support country-based action. Priority will be given to Asia as this is the region with the highest incidence of forced labour, according to ILO estimates. The inception phase will support consultations with national stakeholders and ILO field offices in order to ensure a coherent approach based on country-specific needs.
Technical advisory services for the Seventh Actuarial Review of the Social Security Corporation in Jordan The project will mainly focus on the delivery of the Seventh Actuarial Review of the SSC as at 31 December 2010 to satisfy the requirement of Articles 18(a) and 73 of the “Temporary Law No. (7), for the year 2010 – Social Security Law”. This follows the five-year project of the ILO with the SSC that had led to an interim actuarial review as at 31 December 2004 and the Sixth Actuarial Review of the SSC as at 31 December 2007, in addition to a series of three technical reports delivered on the costing of various reform proposals for the purpose of decision makers. The prior ILO technical studies were delivered in support for decision makers who adopted the “Temporary Law No. (7), for the year 2010 – Social Security Law” governing the SSC – now foreseen to be formally adopted by Parliament. The project will further focus on the legal assessment of the “Temporary Law No. (7), for the year 2010 - Social Security Law”, in particular its compliance with basic social security principles and ILO Social Security Conventions, as well as in light of international best practice, so that necessary amendments can be submitted before its final adoption by Parliament.

Good Governance through Labour Administration and Labour Inspection This is the third successive ILO/Norway TC project focused on strengthening labour administration and inspection systems in selected countries. The project supports the overall achievement of Outcome 11 under the ILO’s Strategic Policy Framework 2010-2015 and covers seven ILO member States, all of which are priority countries (target CPOs) in the current biennium. The countries include: China, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Lebanon, Namibia, South Africa, Ukraine and Vietnam. The immediate objectives of the project are: 1. to improve the working conditions, skills and/or knowledge of labour administration and labour inspection staff in order to enhance performance and strengthen labour law compliance; and 2. to strengthen labour administration and inspection systems by establishing or improving cooperation with the social partners and/or other relevant public administration bodies. While specific approaches and activities towards achieving these objectives will vary from one country to the next, the main areas of action under the project include: 1. Capacity development for labour administration/inspection systems. This mainly includes the development of national training plans and the training of labour inspectors and labour officers based on the ITC-ILO training package. It further targets improving coordination between relevant government bodies and social partners as well as improving the role of women and effectively addressing gender equality issues in labour administration and inspection. 2. International knowledge networks. This will in particular include the exchange of good practices and the provision of mutual assistance under LAB/ADMIN’s coordination between project countries as well as other countries with good experiences and knowledge to share in the area of labour inspection. 3. Coordination, planning and evaluation. The Office will assist member States in strengthening the capacity of governments to improve coordination and institutional development of national systems of labour administration and inspection as well as in enhancing the ability of institutions to plan, programme and evaluate their activities, including through the development or improvement of data collection and management systems. 4. Promotion of relevant international labour standards. The Office will encourage the effective application and, where relevant, ratification of the relevant ILO Conventions related to labour administration and labour inspection (C. 81, C. 129, C. 150). These strategic areas of action, carried out at the national level, will be technically coordinated by LAB/ADMIN in Geneva, and supported with the help of global products and, where possible, complementary national activities and TC projects. The main target group and direct recipients will be the ministries of labour, including the management, the inspectors and labour officers. Social partners will also be recipients as they play an indispensable part in implementing workplace policies jointly with labour administration.
Human security through inclusive socio-economic development in Upper Egypt The push towards democratic reform and good governance after the removal of the Mubarak regime guarantees long-term socio-economic benefits to Egypt. Nevertheless, in the short-term the post-revolution transition witnessed a sudden economic downturn that exacerbated both poverty and unemployment, particularly in Upper Egyptian governorates. The project will strengthen the economic security of vulnerable communities in five mother villages and selected satellite villages in Minyathrough creation of more and better employment opportunities and increased employability of the local labor force,while contributing to mitigate threats to environmental, personal, community and food security.The project will capitalize on the combined resources of several UN agencies and will work through local government, civil society partners and community structures to serve at least 18,000 beneficiaries to become more economically active and self-sufficient, and to support target communities to become more inclusive and gender responsive as they play an active role in the creation of sustainable employment opportunities; in addition, at least 10,000 people in target communities will benefit from neighborhood upgrading projects in disadvantaged areas. The project will capitalize on the combined resources of the UN agencies and will work through local government, civil society partners and community structures to: • implement at least 20 locally conceived priority interventions to counter threats to human security, mainly in the area of economic security; • enhance employability of at least 5,000 men and women through skills enhancement and matching with private sector needs; • implementation of labor-intensive neighborhood upgrading projects in disadvantaged areas; • introduction of innovative high-productivity, environmentally friendly agricultural techniques to the benefit of at least 3,300 small farmers, delivered through a value chain upgrading approach to foster market access on behalf of micro and small agricultural enterprises; • transfer of productive assets combined with technical assistance to at least 3,000 vulnerable women for income-generating activities; • improve access to financial services for at least 8,000 vulnerable women; • train at least 2,000 vulnerable mothers on health and nutrition issues; • train and organize local youth through a youth volunteer service to engage them in the implementation and scaling up of quick-impact activities.
STRENGTHENING HUMAN SECURITY IN THE BORDER COMMUNITIES OF TURKANA, KENYA Executive Summary This project addresses the human security concerns of pastoralists living in extreme hardship and vulnerability to numerous human security threats. The proposed activities aim to improve human security in a context of UN inter-agency coordination including UNDP, FAO, WHO, IOM, UNICEF, ILO and OCHA, and building on the capacities of local CBOs such as Lopedo (Loima Peace and Development organization), the Riam Riam Turkana Peace Network , local peace committees, local government and the governmental Arid Lands Resource Management Project (ALRMP). The proposed activities take into consideration the threat to the socio-economic well-being of vulnerable groups affected by food, economic and health insecurity. Activities building on local capacities are to preserve the human dignity of the target populations, reduce inter-communal, cross-border tensions and promote social and economic development through the delivery of basic health care, the stepping up crucial water initiatives for populations and livestock, the support to the pastoral production system, access to basic education for out of school and vulnerable children as well as alternative livelihood skills training. The project is focused on strengthening the resilience of the dominant livelihoods in the face of natural disasters and other shocks, while providing alternative coping mechanisms through coordinated, sustainable interventions in the livelihoods, food security, education and health sector. Considering the mobile nature of pastoral border communities, the project will target the most vulnerable of the Turkana Central population as well as selected neighbouring cross-border communities by providing opportunities to interact in a peaceful manner through joint training and the establishment of a joint markets and trade opportunities. The project activities support the MDGs by targeting poverty reduction, health and education, while being in line with the government’s objectives of poverty reduction and Disaster Risk Reduction for the region, as outlined in the National Policy for the Development of the ASALs. The activities are also in line with UNDAF outcome two on empowering people who are poor and reducing disparities and vulnerabilities. The UNTFHS offers a unique funding source that is integrated, holistic, multi-sectoral which is aptly suited to addressing the multi-facetted problem at stake. The project benefits from the input and guidance of different UN agencies, local partners and most importantly, local community beneficiaries themselves.

ISFP-Sénégal : Insertion des sortants de la formation professionnelle Le marché de l’emploi au Sénégal est caractérisé par un faible niveau d’offres d’emploi avec un secteur moderne atrophié (6.2%), un chômage urbain élevé notamment chez les jeunes et un sous emploi chronique en milieu rural, principal source d’un mouvement migratoire massif des populations des zones rurales les grands centres urbains. Le document de politique générale de I'ETFP, cadre de la réforme, fait de l'insertion un objectif spécifique. II préconise la création et l'appui aux mécanismes d'accompagnement et d'insertion dans une perspective de valorisation de la formation La formulation du présent projet a pris en compte les forces et faiblesses du secteur de l’ETFP, les leçons apprises de la phase I du projet afin de favoriser une meilleure insertion des jeunes et coordination des acteurs intervenant dans le dispositif insertion. La stratégie d’intervention du projet au cours du PIC II s’est axée sur une approche: • professionnelle pérenne de la quête d’un emploi à travers un appui structuré aux centres et aux MPE , et ce à travers les outils du BIT (CLE et GERME) permettant ainsi une innovation pédagogique en matière d’enseignement technique et professionnelle par l’expérimentation de l’approche par compétences (APC) ainsi que la systématisation de l’approche d’insertion professionnelle des jeunes, • systématisant l’intégration de l’apprentissage dans le dispositif national de formation professionnelle, • systématisant une implication active des organisations d’employeurs/secteur privé dans la définition de filière pédagogique utiles à l’économie locale et nationale Au cours du PIC III, le projet consolidera cette approche et appuiera le renforcement compétences techniques des responsables d’établissements, des cellules d’appui à l’insertion, des cadres de l’ETFP et de la direction de l’emploi (services de main d’œuvre, formateurs…) en vue d’améliorer la gestion générale et le fonctionnement des Cellules d’appui à l’insertion. Il s’investira par ailleurs dans une meilleure implication du secteur privé, des organisations de travailleurs et des collectivités locales pour une prise en compte de la dimension insertion dans leurs priorités (proposition de curricula/profil de postes, programmes, budgets).
