Programa de Educacion y Observatorio de Erradicacion del Trabajo Infantil El proyecto se sustenta en la experiencia y el trabajo acumulado de las tres fases previas del proyecto IPEC-AECID y la experiencia acumulada del Statistical Information and Monitoring Programme on Child Labour (SIMPOC). La estrategia se basa en dos componentes, a) Sistema especializado de información para el seguimiento al trabajo infantil y sus peores formas, y b) un Sistema especializado de formación permanente. · En el primer componente se impulsará el uso de la plataforma de administración de datos de trabajo infantil adaptando el modelo Child Info 1.1 desarrollado por el SIMPOC en conjunto con el sistema de información de Naciones Unidas. Esta plataforma versátil permitirá hacer un seguimiento a los principales indicadores de trabajo infantil y adolescente. Se brindará asesoría para identificar posibles instrumentos de medición regular que puedan ser utilizados por los países para estudiar el fenómeno del trabajo infantil. · El segundo componente sobre el programa de formación, se dirige hacia todo tipo de profesional que trabaja en políticas, programas o proyectos de prevención y erradicación del trabajo infantil, con énfasis en las peores formas del trabajo infantil. El Observatorio servirá como espacio consultivo para la toma de decisiones, y cumplirá una función de promoción de la formación y capacitación de actores clave locales, pues el IPEC dispone de una base documental amplia que posibilitará el desarrollo o la adecuación de herramientas pedagógicas para el fortalecimiento de capacidades de actores clave. Esto permitirá importantes avances en la especialización para abordar esta realidad que a su vez contribuirá a la nueva etapa del IPEC caracterizada por la maduración del programa y la consolidación de los logros acumulados.
Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises (SCORE) – Indonesia Phase II 2013-2017 Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises (SCORE) is a practical training and workplace improvement programme to increase the productivity of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) while promoting respect for workers’ rights. The programme demonstrates best international practice in manufacturing and service sectors and helps SMEs to participate in global supply chains. Under SCORE Phase I (2009-2012 – funded by SECO and NORAD), the ILO has built the capacity of 19 institutions (government agencies, training organizations, industry associations and trade unions) in emerging economies in Africa, Asia and Latin America to offer SCORE training to SMEs. SCORE Phase II as proposed in this document will extend the project to 2017, focusing on programme sustainability after donor funding ends. Preliminary estimate of results of SCORE Phase I As of October 2012 (6 month before project end), the project has achieved the following: - The project has built capacity in 19 institutions (government agencies, industry associations, training organizations) in seven countries to offer the SCORE training programme. These institutions have trained more than 250 SMEs representing more than 49.000 workers and conducted more than 500 consulting visits. More than 2000 managers and workers have jointly participated in classroom training. - Enterprise Improvement Teams consisting of managers and workers in SMEs are meeting on average 3.4 times per month to implement 8 jointly identified improvement projects. More than 50% of enterprises report cost-savings due to the training (from 300 to 15,000 USD within 2-3 months), 80% report reductions in defects (-10% on average), 42% report reductions in energy consumption (-2% KwH per production unit), over all participating enterprises, absenteeism has decreased by 3.6%. - An independent final evaluation in October 2012 concluded that “SCORE covers essential aspects of workplace relations and working conditions, and generally responds to the needs and requirements of most of the SMEs encountered. Relationships between management and the workforce have improved through workplace cooperation (particularly reaching down to the workforce level).
Promover el empleo productivo y el trabajo decente de los jovenes en Argelia Ce projet vise la promotion de l’emploi décent pour les jeunes - hommes et femmes confondus – par la création de micro et petite entreprise et la consolidation des petites entreprises existantes. L’approche adoptée se base sur le développement local des régions défavorisées présentant un taux de chômage supérieur à la moyenne nationale. La stratégie du projet se base sur quatre axes essentiels, à savoir : 1. la connaissance approfondie de l’environnement, comme facteur crucial pour l’orientation des jeunes dans la création d’entreprises et pour la prise de décision. Cela sera rendu possible grâce à la réalisation d'études géographiques, thématiques et sectorielles à réaliser au niveau local (secteurs porteurs, caractéristiques et besoins des micros et petites entreprises, secteur agroalimentaire, artisanat, boulangerie, …), d'autre part, grâce à des rencontres et des débats organisés par le projet au niveau local autour de ces études; 2. l’implication active des acteurs locaux, privés et publics, dans la promotion des micros et petites entreprises afin de mettre en synergie les ressources et les compétences locales et de permettre à ces acteurs l’appropriation de la démarche, de la méthode et des outils développés par le projet; 3. l’amélioration et/ou le développement des services, méthodes et outils d'intervention en faveur des micros et petites entreprises; 4. la capitalisation de l’expérience afin de permettre à la fois la pérennisation des résultats et la diffusion de l’expérience.
Extending Social Protection in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province through building a Social Protection Floor within the framework of a Social Protection Policy The main objective of the project is to assist the Government of the Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to establish a comprehensive province-wide social protection scheme based on the ILO’s two-dimensional strategy for the extension of social protection, and a national Social Protection floor concept providing a set of basic social guarantees that would provide income security for all in need of such protection and basic medical care. The project strategy follows a multi-pronged approach. The following results are foreseen under the project: 1) Institutional capacity - establishing/organizing a provincial steering committee- At the provincial (KPK) level an inter-agency task force will be set up to work as a steering committee. 2) Raising awareness/advocacy at the national level – inserting the Social Protection Floor concept and its elements into the national policy debate 3) Mapping, profiling, documentation, analysis – the project will undertake a mapping exercise and/or a rapid assessment study in order to take stock of the social protection situation and needs at the provincial level. 4) Through dialogue at the provincial level, elaborating a specific set of measures constituting a provincial Social Protection Floor that builds on existing social protection activities 5) Identifying viable alternatives/policy options/concrete proposals to close protection gaps - Through dialogue at the provincial level, coordinated by the Social Protection Floor Task Force, viable options should be sought as to how to close the identified gaps in protection by appropriate and effectively coordinated contributory or non-contributory schemes, including through the extension of existing contributory schemes to all concerned persons with contributory capacity. 6) Development of a policy framework for the extension of social protection to all – In order for any meaningful initiative to succeed on a sustainable basis, it requires the support of a policy framework. Implementing social protection policies and programmes cannot be done in isolation. Given the contribution of social protection to human capital development, to the protection and empowerment of people, and to the increase of labour productivity and pro-poor economic growth in the long run, social protection policies are an integral part of national and provincial development policies. They need to be consistent with fiscal policy (fiscal space may need to be increased to be able to finance social protection), employment policy (linkages with employment need to be ensured or re-established for the working age population) and a shared vision of society.

Support to ACI 2: Jobs and skills for youth - Zambia The ILO Youth Employment project phase 2 for the biennium 2014/2015 with support from Sida will build on the results achieved in phase 1 of the Youth Employment Project. It will aim to finalize the National Action Plan (NAP) on Youth Employment which was developed under the Youth Employment project phase 1 and support its implementation. The NAP is the new national framework to address youth employment in Zambia. It is based on the five policy areas of the 2012 Resolution adopted by the 101st International Labour Conference – Youth Employment Crisis: A Call for Action. The project will provide technical assistance to the Government of Zambia and social partners to review the National Employment and Labour Market Policy (NELMP) to ensure the prioritization of youth employment. Emphasis will be placed on the alignment and synergies between the NAP-YE and the revised NELMP and its Implementation plan.

The role of macroeconomic, sectoral and labour market policies to promote more and better jobs in selected middle income G20 countries The Leaders called for each G20 member to prepare an employment action plan and an overall growth strategy for the 2014 Leaders’ Summit. Such strong proclamations by the G20 Leaders for integrated and coordinated macroeconomic, financial, labour market and social policies suggest that employment action plans should be explicitly integrated into national growth strategies. This renewed commitment by the G20 to develop a coherent and collective strategy to respond to the global employment challenges is reflected in the setting up of a Task-Force on Employment (TFE) in 2013. The ILO has been requested by the TFE to provide analytical and advisory support to its work. It is against this specific background that this project is proposed. It will analyse the role of integrated macroeconomic, sectoral and labour market in promoting the agenda of more and better jobs in five middle income G20 countries - China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey. They are taken as regionally representative exemplars of countries that display diversity of employment outcomes. As the statistical annexe shows, India and Mexico are two countries in which employment outcomes in the late 2000s have been modest, while Indonesia stands out as a country in which employment outcomes – at least in quantitative terms – have been impressive. On the other hand, Indonesia displays the second highest incidence of informality (72.5 per cent) among all G20 countries. China, which has a significantly lower per capita income than Mexico, has a much lower incidence of informality (30 per cent). Based on the above analyses, which will be conducted using relevant data and information for last ten years, the project will be utilised to develop broad-based and country-specific recommendations to enhance the role of integrated macroeconomic, sectoral and labour market policies in promoting more and better jobs in systemically important G20 countries . Thus the project aims to respond to the aspirations of the G20 Leaders and to support the ILO in its quest to support the work of the TFE At the same time, the project will provide highly relevant background studies that can serve as critical inputs to the analytical and programmatic work that is being undertaken under ACI 1 on the theme of ‘more and better jobs for inclusive growth.

Earthquake-resistant construction training in Haiti As part of their training programmes, the ILO and the British Red Cross are involved in capacity building in hurricane- and earthquake-resistant construction techniques. The overall strategy of the training and construction programme aims to support the two following axes: • To provide sustainable housing solutions and to improve living conditions for the residents of the neighbourhoods of Delmas 19; • To qualify workers to participate in the rebuilding process of their neighbourhood and to government certifications. ILO and BRC join their efforts to facilitate the implementation of this integrated programme. Under this approach, the ILO’s main responsibility is to improve the socio-economic situation of targeted areas through qualification of residents and enterprises in the reconstruction process and to offer a range of services necessary for social cohesion in neighbourhoods. The importance of the reconstruction of housing and the search for housing solutions that accommodate several families become obvious if one considers that with the return of displaced persons to their declared areas of origin the housing shortage will worsen. In the context of reconstruction of houses, it is also necessary to increase the number of professionals in construction. The ILO identified a huge deficit in the number of specialized workers and that only a small number of entrepreneurs, foremen, technicians and workers in the construction sector have the capacity to be involved in the reconstruction of Port-au-Prince in particular and in the country generally. Strengthening the technical training of foremen, skilled workers and semi-skilled workers based on government standard norms in seismic- and cyclonic-resistant constructions will help build safe and sustainable housing and improve the living conditions of the population. It will also allow trained workers to increase and certify quality of technical offer in their respective fields. Not providing professional qualifications in the workforce or management skills and network with local businesses would undermine hopes of economic recovery in the areas despite financial injections in the reconstruction process. In addition, to fill the gaps in general knowledge on earthquake-resistant construction to residents of the area of Delmas 19, teams of trainers in reconstruction projects will host twice a month the activity ‘Open construction site’

Building Trust and Dialogue for social justice through decent and productive work in Bolivia En Bolivia, si bien el crecimiento económico ha sido relativamente importante y permitido una reducción de la pobreza monetaria en los últimos cinco años, existe una carencia de consensos para distribuir dicha riqueza, ocasionando conflictos sociales nacionales y/o sectoriales. En materia laboral, el Gobierno y los actores sociales no han logrado tener un dialogo social constructivo en los últimos años. Se explica entre otras razones por la desconfianza entre los actores, su baja capacidad institucional, concepciones distintas de diálogo y de la negociación, la inexistencia de una agenda compartida, y los diversos contextos políticos. El proyecto tiene por objetivo de construir un contexto favorable para la creación de confianza entre aquellos actores, a través de un diálogo técnico tripartito. A corto y mediano plazo, se desea lograr dos resultados: 1. Sensibilizar, intercambiar información y fortalecer la capacidad interna de cada uno de los actores para el diálogo; 2. Mejorar el dialogo y la cooperación efectiva entre empleadores y trabajadores y por ende sus condiciones laborales, en un número demostrativo de empresas a través de un programa de promoción de las empresas competitivas, responsables y sostenibles (SCORE).
Outcome 17_GLOBAL: Gender Mainstreaming, 2014-15 (Sida-ILO Partnership Programme 2014-17) The gender mainstreaming component of the ILO/Sida Partnership Agreement (PA) is focused on ensuring that the PA per se is implemented in a gender responsive manner. The focus is therefore on working with the one Area of Critical Importance (ACI) and five Programme and Budget (P&B) Outcomes being supported so as to ensure that their outputs and activities are implemented in a way that pays attention to the needs of working women and men alike. The work will build upon what has been achieved in the previous ILO-Sida PA (2010-2014), will strive to implement the recommendations of the evaluation of the previous PA, and will make use of established ILO approaches to promote gender mainstreaming. For example the Participatory Gender Audit will be used to enhance the integration of a gender dimension in the staffing, structure and outreach of constituents; as well as established approaches on integrating gender concerns into youth employment, working conditions and freedom of association. In accordance with the terms of the PA, and as per 2012-13, four decentralized projects will be set up to facilitate gender mainstreaming in ILO interventions in the regions. Where these projects will be situated, and how precisely they will take shape is dependent on what and where the other Outcomes decide to focus their interventions, based on where Country Program Outcomes (CPOs) exist under the relevant Outcomes. This will be decided in due course. This document outlines the global component based in the Gender, Equality and Diversity (GED) Branch at HQ. It will provide overall technical, administrative and financial oversight to the gender mainstreaming component of the PA by providing advice and guidance on gender mainstreaming to constituents and ILO colleagues alike.
