Gender Mainstreaming in the ILO Norway Partnership Agreement in Cambodia ILO is currently implementing two projects in Cambodia under the ILO-Norway Partnership: the ACT/EMP Strengthening Employers’ Organizations for Effective Social Dialogue and Promotion of Gender Equality project and the ACTRAV Trade Union for Social Justice project (known as the Workers Education Project or WEP). This Gender Mainstreaming Project (GMP) seeks to build upon and support work that is specifically relevant for gender equality promotion under these two projects. Following on from the activities undertaken under different phases of the Norway/ILO Partnership throughout 2008-2011 and earlier ILO support to promoting gender equality in employment and occupation and in enterprise development in Cambodia, this GMP project will focus on ensuring that the work of the Norway/ILO Partnership Agreement in Cambodia is gender mainstreamed: i.e. that “women’s as well as men’s concerns form an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation” of the ILO’s work in Cambodia, so that “women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated.” The Gender Mainstreaming Project will cooperate with other ILO initiatives under the Cambodia DWCP, in particular with the Spanish funded ILO Social Protection and Gender project (SPG) of the ILOs Better Factories Cambodia Programme which is geared at improving conditions of women workers in the country’s garment industry with a view to complement and build synergies on gender equality promotion with ILO partners within the country.
Advancing peace through social justice The World Council of Churches (WCC) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) are designing a project building on convergences in values and shared institutional capacities of the ILO and the WCC. Its overall development objective is to establish cooperation on matters of social justice and decent work for the advancement of peace and reconciliation among religious communities at national, regional and global levels. It encompasses two immediate objectives: the first is to initiate and facilitate cooperation of religious leaders and of their communities in advocating for social justice and decent work at national and community levels, as contributions to peace and reconciliation. A second objective is to foster networking and cooperation at regional and international levels for the same purpose. The desired project will provide as outcomes a new momentum to interreligious cooperation for peace and reconciliation through mutual empowerment of religious leaders; constructive initiatives for decent work that contribute to positive changes for the lives of peoples, families and communities; and functioning cooperation for advocacy at national, regional and international levels. The project includes: - Developing in Egypt a national platform of representatives of relevant Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs) with reference to the experience, knowledge and methodology accumulated in Ethiopia. The national interreligious platform (NIRP) will be focusing on a rights-based approach and utilizing decent work as a pathway to reconciliation and peace. Participating FBOs and religious leaders will be identified and invited by the ILO and WCC in cooperation with ILO national and regional offices, National Councils of Churches, Interreligious Councils where they exist, and church-based religious and community-based networks. The national platform will develop plans of action, mobilize resources jointly, and execute projects in local communities in cooperation with the ILO, the WCC, and other partners. - Facilitating and fostering networking between national platform in Egypt and other platforms established through the ILO and the WCC during the pilot phase of the project. At both national and regional levels, the exchange and cooperation through platforms will enhance advocacy for social justice and decent work principles towards sustainable peace, especially in interreligious fora.
RACBP Partner Agency Costs The project INS/11/50/IDA is for the ILO's administration and supervision of the contribution for the project Rural Access and Capacity Building Nias Islands (INS/09/02/IDA), of which the summary is provided below: The Multi-Donor Fund for Aceh and North Sumatra (MDFANS) is funding two coordinated and conceptually linked projects for the Nias Islands, each with a budget of US$ 10 million. The two projects are administratively independent. Nias-RACBP focuses on the improvement of the strategic rural transport network in the three economic/agricultural clusters in Nias Islands that are targeted by Nias-LEDP (Nias Islands Livelihoods and Economic Development Project). In accordance with MDFANS’ mandate, activities that will be undertaken by Nias-RACBP will contribute to post-disaster economic recovery and poverty alleviation for the communities of Nias Islands that were affected by the tsunami and the earthquake. Nias-RACBP will be implemented through a Fiscal Agency Agreement between the World Bank and the ILO. The Project Development Objective (PDO) of Nias-RACBP is for residents of the participating districts to utilize improved rural transport infrastructure and services and to benefit from enhanced access to economic and social services and facilities. RACBP’s two main components, that will be implemented in an integrated way, are: Construction: The main activity is the improvement of strategic rural access roads, covering the construction of about 80 kilometers of light trafficked, ‘all-weather access’ district roads (3 meter wide) and rural pathways (1.5 meter wide), and the construction of 1,000 running meters of stream crossings and small bridges. Design specifications will reflect the need to minimize the long-term (10-15 years) maintenance requirements. Local resource-based approaches will be used and it is estimated that the construction activities will generate 200,000 worker-days of short-term employment. In addition, a small cultural heritage sub-component is included, aiming at contributing to the preservation of Nias’ public cultural heritage assets, through small infrastructure works in the economic clusters where Nias-RACBP will be implemented. Training and Capacity Building: This component aims at enhancing the capacity of the involved local government agencies at district and sub-district level (Public Works Department and District Planning Offices), small-scale contractors, their staff, potential future supervisors, local communities and ILO’s own newly recruited local project staff, in the planning and delivery of investments in the rural roads network. The main delivery modality will be through on-the-job training and mentorship.

Protecting migrant workers’ rights in Jordan The project, led by ILO with Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) as a key partner, adopts a three pronged strategy to bring about improvements in the respect of the fundamental rights of workers in Jordan, particularly foreign migrant workers. It will support trade unions to reach out to and empower migrant workers, as well as provide them with better services and information; it will engage with factory and QIZ managers, employers and recruitment agencies to increase their awareness and capacity to respect workers’ rights, through improved recruitment and employment practices; and finally, support to labor-management cooperation will bring the two parties together in order to conclude more and better collective bargaining agreements in the QIZ and the construction sector. Some support will also be given to the Ministry of Labor to enable it to fulfill particular functions essential to protect migrant workers’ rights, including better regulation of private employment agencies (PrEAs). The project targets men and women workers, in particular migrant workers, and employers in three sectors vulnerable to exploitative labor practices, namely construction, apparel production in the Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZs) and, to a lesser extent, domestic work. The project will cooperate closely with Better Work Jordan (BWJ) in the QIZ-based activities.
Eradication of All Forms of Forced Labour in Myanmar Support to the Myanmar Strategic Action Plan for the elimination of forced labour by 2015 through, with a focus on the continued application of the ILO complaints mechanism including specific action required to sustain discharge of underage recruits including those designated as deserters
Intervention for the Elimination of Forced Labour Executive Summary Project title: Intervention for the Elimination of forced labour Target country: Burma / Myanmar Project main responsible official: Steve Marshall, ILO Liaison Officer, Myanmar marshall@ilo.org +95 1 242 393 Synopsis of the programme The ILO in Myanmar is mandated to work for the elimination of the use of forced labour including underage recruitment and human trafficking. The Government of Myanmar is a signatory to the ILO Convention against Forced Labour (C29). The military regime issued Order 1/99 and its Supplementary Order making the exaction of forced labour illegal and punishable under the Penal Code. These Orders have largely been honoured in the breach with the main perpetrators being the Government Authorities including the military. In 2007 the Supplementary Understanding (SU) was agreed. It gives residents of Myanmar the right to complain to the ILO Liaison Officer in Yangon if they believe that they have been subjected to forced labour. With the development of a facilitator’s network some 690 complaints have been received, a range of forced labour complaints have been investigated and agreed solutions found, however, much more needs to be done. Considerable structural change has recently taken place in Myanmar. The depth and potential of this change is as yet unclear; it was centrally orchestrated and falls short of full democracy. This project is designed to take advantage of this new environment as best as is possible. The overall goal is for the eventual elimination of all forms of forced labour in Myanmar. To this end the project will build on the successes of the ILO forced labour program to date through: 1. Increased general awareness of rights under the law and confidence to exercise those rights by way of complaint under the SU complaints mechanism. 2. Enhanced ILO capacity to monitor incidents, identify trends and obtain information and statistics for reporting and strategic operational decision making purposes. 3. Creation of opportunities to influence policy application and behavioural change on the part of the authorities (military and civil) at both central and regional levels. Under the project the ILO will: 1. Distribute brochures in the official and local languages and expand training workshop activity nationwide. 2. Strengthen, expand and improve coordination of the ILO facilitators’ network. 3. Increase and enhance the effectiveness of the operation of the SU Complaints Mechanism. Budget requested: US$ 297,000 for 24 months (Oct 2011 – Sept 2013) Elements of innovation and sustainability of the project: The SU mechanism effectively provides an independent third party ombudsman process demanding accountability and respect for the rule of law. The project will help establish understanding between the duty bearers (government) and rights holders as to the shared benefits of applying the rule of law opening the way for further replication of this principle in other areas of accountability and human rights application.

Strengthening the world of work response on HIV/AIDS The proposed project will support the target countries in developing comprehensive programmes to address high risk populations and vulnerable workers and their families, as well as the capacity gaps in the national AIDS response. The ultimate beneficiaries that will directly gain from the project, and hence reduce their risk to HIV infection, will be workers and employers in the selected countries, including their families. The project will build the capacity of national institutions and organizations to respond to HIV/AIDS and will support those actors to build networks and structures to channel this response to the ultimate beneficiaries. This entails making sure that compliance and enforcement systems of policy and legal frameworks on HIV/AIDS are in place. The proposed project will contribute to the reduction of HIV incidence among individuals (men and women) through an effective world of work response. The outcomes of the project will be: 1. A comprehensive sectoral response is in place to scale up HIV/AIDS programmes in selected countries and is also integrated in the overall national response; 2. Improved legal and policy compliance to ensure the application of the policy and legal frameworks is in place to protect the rights of affected male and female workers and their families; 3. Effective interventions addressing prevention and impact mitigation in the formal and informal economy are designed and implemented in selected countries.
