To strengthen BiH capacity for generating growth and employment through support to competitiveness and innovation The project aims to strengthen the country capacity for generating growth and employment through support to competitiveness and innovation. In that light, the specific objective is to support private sector development with a focus on export oriented, agro-rural and tourism sectors, as well as on enhancing the operational environment for MSMEs including development of local digital entrepreneurship. The project envisages three inter-related results: 1) MSMEs performance is increased due to better access and availability of well targeted measures and innovative business development services in competitive export oriented sectors; 2) Business environment for development of new businesses and support to existing ones is improved; and 3) Entrepreneurial initiatives in tourism and rural value chains for income and employment generation are increased.
Plan conjoint des nations unies de lutte contre le VIH/SIDA_Cameroun Le projet s’appuie essentiellement sur deux stratégies à savoir: le plaidoyer/mobilisation des entreprises et le renforcement des capacités. En collaboration avec l’ONUSIDA, les mandants tripartites (GICAM, MINTSS, CCA-SIDA, etc.), et le CNLS, le BIT va réaliser des rencontres de plaidoyer en direction de 14 entreprises issues de trois secteurs clés vulnérables au VIH (Chantiers structurants, agro-industries, exploitation forestière, minière, etc.) dans cinq villes cibles du programme FAST-TRACK des Nations Unies. Ce plaidoyer vise à créer les conditions pour ces entreprises de s’approprier les programmes de lutte contre le sida en faveur de leurs travailleurs et leurs dépendants, mais aussi à mobiliser les fonds au travers du dispositif de partenariats public privé dans le cadre de la mise en œuvre des plans de lutte contre le VIH de leurs municipalités respectives. Les objectives sont 1) L’accès aux services de lutte contre le VIH et le sida dans les entreprises ciblées est amélioré d’ici à décembre 2019; et 2) Les capacités des mandants à produire des données de qualité pour la prise de décision en matière de lutte de lutte contre le VIH et le sida sont renforcées d’ici à fin 2019.
Building capacities of the MAST to ensure labour law compliance in the Haitian apparel sector (phase II) The overall project objective is to build capacities of the MAST to better promote compliance with fundamental labour standards and related legislation in the textile sector.To do so, the strategy will be three-fold. First, special attention will be paid to the functions of labour inspection, improving the quality and efficiency of services provided to employers and to workers and setting in place a reinforced role of labour administration on the implementation of labour policies and enforcement of labour law. Synergies with the BWH programme will be looked for so that both the BWH assessment mechanisms and labour inspection may benefit from the exchange of expertise. The project will assist the MAST to better follow up on the results of factory assessments carried out by BWH, aiming at improving effective compliance in the textile sector. Second, the effectiveness of mechanisms to prevent and settle labour disputes in the apparel sector, in liaison with the Labour Ombudsperson will also be improved. Finally, increased participation of social partners in labour law implementation will be sought through knowledge and awareness campaigns and the development of tools and mechanisms that will facilitate access to information, self-assessment tools, and the possibility to lodge complaints.
ILO – Unified Budget Results Accountability Framework (2018–19) - Nigeria Country Project According to the Centre for the Control of Disease (CDC), HIV is the 3rd leading cause of death, after malaria and lower respiratory infections. Nigeria’s HIV epidemic is described as generalized (above 1% prevalence among ANC attendees), with wide variation of prevalence is in the North Western Zone (2.1%). There are also differences between and within urban within the country. Approximately 4.1 million out of the estimated 180 million Nigerians live with HIV and AIDS making Nigeria the country with the second highest HIV burden in the world. Immediate action needs to be taken towards closing the treatment gap by facilitating access to health services and scaling up of HCT, in the same time ensuring wider coverage of basic health services for all and scaling up social protection including health insurance. The project has two clear objectives: increased HIV testing and counselling services among women and men workers; and strengthened HIV-sensitive social protection programmes for vulnerable workers
Decent Work for Sustainable and Inclusive Economic Transformation in Mozambique Despite decades of consistently high growth (around 7% per annum), the Mozambican economy continues to suffer from high levels of poverty and unemployment, particularly in rural areas and for women and youth. To combat this, the Government of Mozambique (GoMZ) is in the process of launching a new National Employment Policy (NEP), which is firmly embedded in the National Development Strategy (2015-35) and aims at creating more and better jobs. This proposal presents a prospective project that is anchored in the goals of the NEP and is designed to support and contribute to the NEP’s implementation. The project thus is titled “Decent Work for Sustainable and Inclusive Economic Transformation in Mozambique”. Using a project strategy with a market systems development approach as the unifying framework, it will address the employment crisis through two immediate objectives, which target the national and local levels, respectively. The national institutional component mainly focusses on aligning the incentives and capacities of key labour market institutions to ensure they play a constructive role in decent job creation, and in doing so enabling Mozambican constituents to design and implement employment-intensive and sustainable policy and programme solutions, to improve social dialogue, and to generate better labour market information. The local implementation component is designed to create and improve employment outcomes in both urban and rural areas, by focussing on three main elements: - Implementation of employment-intensive market infrastructure investments; - Stimulating Green Jobs through SME development - Creating opportunities and reducing constraints to access productive employment for women and female-headed households. To concretely identify the market system bottlenecks and design adequate intervention mechanisms, the project will commence with an inception phase, during which a range of analytical tools (incl. participatory sector selection, market systems analysis, and gender analysis) will be used to allow an evidence-based decision making process. Combining these various elements through a market systems approach will allow the project to reach its overarching development objective: “To contribute to the creation of decent work for Mozambican women and men, in particular youth and those living in rural areas, in line with the national employment policy”.
Enhancing social partners' and social dialogue's roles and capacity in the new world of work This project aims to adopt a longer term view of the major challenges facing social partners as a result of the changing world of work, challenges that Governments, trade unions and employers' organisations had several opportunities to discuss at the International Labour Office. These changes are shaping employment prospects and working conditions of people around Europe and beyond, while also altering the environment for enterprises. In achieving these objectives, research and capacity building activities will be carried out under a number of thematic areas that will have to be defined after a consultative process with the social partners and representatives of social dialogue institutions. The four following areas are initially proposed for social partners' own assessment: a) the potential role and response of social dialogue actors and institutions to digitalisation/robotisation; b) the strategies and responses of social dialogue actors and institutions to the emergence of nonstandard forms of employment (NSFE) and interruption of career along working life; c) the adaptation and role of social dialogue actors and institutions to outsourcing, subcontracting along supply chains; and d) the strategies of social dialogue actors and institutions and the effectiveness of social dialogue to cover the silver economy while ensuring intergenerational solidarity.
Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralised Service Delivery, UN-JPLG (Phase II DANIDA) After decades of warfare, Somalia has been undergoing a peace and national reconciliation process creating a "development moment" with a unique opportunity to bring lasting peace and stability to the many areas made accessible in southern Somalia. The UN Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralized Service Delivery for Somalia (JPLG), launched in 2008 for a period of five years, has established an important platform for seizing the development moment and has translated many of the ambitions of the “One UN” principles into tangible improvements in aid and wider development effectiveness. In its second phase (JPLG II), launched in 2013 for a period of five years, it has five partners (ILO, UNCDF, UNDP, UN-HABITAT and UNICEF). It will build on the achievement of the first phase and maintain the focus on strengthening local government as a means of enhancing the delivery of services to citizens and restoring confidence and credibility in the state. It will also improve state-citizen relations by linking local governments to their constituent communities and will engage the private sector transparently and accountably. To achieve this, the programme outcomes are structured around three mutually reinforcing strategies: 1. Supporting policy and legislative reforms for functional, fiscal and administrative decentralization; 2. Improving local government capacity for equitable service delivery; 3. Improving and expanding the delivery of sustainable services and promoting local economic environment.
SKILL-UP Malawi (Upgrading Skills for the changing world of work) Skills development is an essential prerequisite for youth employment and sustainable development and as such an important factor in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. However, limited access to high-quality education and training is a major obstacle for sustainable development and school to work transition. Thus, skills mismatch is a key development challenge faced by most countries, and the main causes are the weak capacity of institutions and staff; ineffective involvement of social partners; outdated curricula and training methodology; inadequate work based training including apprenticeships; insufficient funding; and fragmented governance. Skills policies and programmes also don’t focus on the needs of the rural economy, migrant workers, and women, and providing access to training and certification of skills of persons acquired through non-formal and informal means.
Improving maintenance practices for rural roads The purpose of this technical assistance is directed by the objectives defined in the overall WB project appraisal document which aims to (i) improve road access in rural areas and (ii) at the same time improve works implementation efficiency and the sustainability of rural road construction through improved maintenance. This ILO technical assistance focuses on the goal to develop more efficient maintenance arrangements for rural roads through improved policies, institutions, systems and implementation mechanisms.
Appui au rédeploiement de l’administration publique et à la revitalisation socio-économique des communautés Le projet dans son entièreté vise à soutenir le processus de restauration et d’extension de l’autorité de l’État sur le territoire national et à favoriser l’émergence d’un nouveau contrat social entre l’État et la société centrafricaine, tel que souhaité par le participants au Forum national de Bangui (mai 2015). Le projet s’appuit sur les avantages comparatifs des organismes des Nations Unies impliqués dans le domaine de la gouvernance et du développement local (MINUSCA, PNUD, OIT). Le projet aura une portée nationale et touchera directement ou indirectement une bonne partie de la population centrafricaine. Le projet appuiera en particulier : a) Le renforcement des capacités des autorités territoriales à la prestation de services sociaux de base d’une manière inclusive et participative ; b) La restauration des services de sécurité publique pour la protection des populations et la promotion de la stabilité et la paix sociale indispensable au processus de reconstruction du pays ; c) Le renforcement de la confiance et des interactions intercommunautaires grâce à la stabilisation des moyens de subsistance des populations et la revitalisation socio-économique des communautés locales. Dans ce cadre, le BIT est chargé de la mise en œuvre du volet c) et s’engage à augmenter l’accès à l’emploi et à d’autres moyens de subsistance afin de permettre des améliorations tangibles et substantielles pour les populations et stimuler la confiance et la stabilité à moyen et long terme (Résultat 4), en particulier à travers les produits suivants : 1. Produit 4.1 - Les capacités des acteurs locaux pour la gestion du relèvement économique sont renforcées ; 2. Produit 4.2 – l’emploi, notamment celui des jeunes et des femmes, est promu à travers la réhabilitation/entretien des infrastructures communautaires (haute intensité de main d’œuvre - HIMO) ; 3. Produit 4.3 – Les moyens de subsistance des communautés les plus affectées par le conflit sont revitalisés et renforcés à travers la relance des activités génératrices de revenus (AGR).
Employment-Intensive Recovery and Reconstruction Response (E3R) Over half a million people were affected by the 7.5 magnitude earthquake that struck the Highlands of Papua New Guinea (PNG) on 26 February (followed by strong after-shocks and a 6.7 magnitude earthquake on 8 March), causing casualties, damaging homes and key infrastructure (including airfields, bridges, community access roads, houses, power supply, telecommunications), triggering landslides, and affecting water sources. Enga, Gulf, Hela and Southern and Western Highlands’ provinces suffered damage, with Hela and Southern Highlands being the worst affected. Apart from the immediate humanitarian assistance, there is a need to provide early recovery and reconstruction support to help the affected people to restore their livelihoods. This includes short-term emergency employment support and longer-term assistance in restoring the damaged infrastructure. For the relief and reconstruction work, the Government of PNG has allocated USD 180 million. The ILO is participating in the coordination efforts led by the Government’s National Disaster Centre and has been requested by its constituents to provide technical assistance in designing and implementing employment-intensive infrastructure-based livelihood recovery activities and support the development of a longer-term employment-intensive reconstruction strategy which will also include disaster mitigation elements.
Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralized Service Delivery, UN-JPLG (Phase III) The 3rd phase of the Joint Programme on Local Governance (JPLG) will focus on creating an enabling environment for improved service delivery and greater stability, through improved legal, policy and system frameworks – building the knowledge of those working in and with local governments. Greater attention will be given to the inclusion of the marginalized and women. The programme aims to achieve three outcomes: i) Outcome 1: Policy, legal and regulatory frameworks on local governance finalized: - Policy and legislative frameworks for functional, fiscal and administrative decentralization clarify the role of local governments and their relationship to federal/central and state governments, with a view to attaining improved service delivery and stability. ii) Outcome 2: Local governments’ have the capacity to deliver equitable and sustainable services, promote economic development and peace:- Building on the successes and lessons from previous phases, JPLG will consolidate, harmonize and systematize, its capacity enhancement approaches – bearing in mind the different contexts under which it operates. In Somaliland, the focus will be to empower Local Government Institute (LGIs) as drivers of capacity building initiatives. In Puntland, and the new states the programme will work with the Ministries of Interior and other partner ministries to streamline capacity development initiatives while, putting in place mechanisms to operationalise the recently approved National Local Government Capacity Development Policy (see Annex 3). It will focus on supporting capacity development beyond JPLG districts and apply capacity development lessons from Puntland to boost the new FMSs and BRA. In the new federal member states, the program will build local governments’ capacity to deliver equitable services, deepen stabilization and contribute to economic recovery. iii) Outcome 3: Local governments demonstrate improved engagement of citizens, with an emphasis on women and marginalized groups:-The aim of JPLG III is to promote citizen engagement, gender equity and social inclusion, through efforts to strengthen key local governance policies, structures and processes. Barriers to women’s advancement in public administration, denial of opportunities for citizens, particularly traditionally marginalized individuals and groups, to take part in, and benefit from, local decision-making, all serve to undermine the principles of equal opportunity and social justice that are the bedrock of inclusive development and democratic governance – while retaining a driver of conflict.
University Centers for Career Development The International Labour Office’s contribution will focus on three main deliverables: Building capacity of UCCD staff on collecting, analyzing and disseminating labour market information; supporting the regular conduct of university-level tracer studies, enterprise skills surveys and roundtables with employers to obtain quantitative and qualitative information about labour market insertion of graduates, satisfaction with graduates’ skills, workforce skill needs and recruitment needs; and enhancing the inclusiveness of UCCD services for students with disabilities.
Improve labour migration governance in Ethiopia to combat irregular migration The significant increase in irregular migration, mainly trafficking, combined with a significant number of reported cases of abuse and mistreatment of Ethiopian migrants and a temporary ban on low-skilled migrant workers going to the Middle East and Sudan introduced by the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) in 2013, have put migration at the forefront of Ethiopia’s agenda. This project aims at supporting the efforts of the Government and Civil Society in improving labour migration governance to better address migration challenges in the country and combat irregular migration. It also aims at sensitising migration-prone communities to enable them to take informed decisions about migration and to empower migrants to better protect their rights. Compared to 2013, an increased number of migrants are moving to the Middle East by irregular means. If the necessary support is not provided for these migrants, the risk of a significant increase in irregular migration is high. Considering the current situation of irregular migration, there is a need to support the government in putting in place an efficient and effective structure to govern labour migration and create the necessary awareness to better equip migrants and potential migrants to make informed decisions.
Technical Support on collective bargaining and dispute resolution. The project aims at improving laws, mechanisms and processes, particularly in the garment sector, for industrial relations, dispute prevention and resolution and wage setting, including enforcement of collective bargaining agreements. The ILO’s assistance will include policy advice combined with support for legislative, policy and institutional strengthening; training; and sharing comparative experience and good practices. Draft rules will be developed for the establishment and operation of labour courts, including accessibility in particular to women and people with disabilities. Training materials on labour law, international labour standards and non-discrimination will be developed and delivered to judges, and good practices on dispute resolution from across different regions will be shared with the tripartite constituents. Training and knowledge sharing on evidence-based minimum wage adjustment process will be carried out with Labour Advisory Committee members and constituents to determine minimum wage fixing in the country. Tools and guides on how to comply with provisions of the new trade union law will be developed to assist constituents with implementation of trade union law, and development of the new database on union registration. Training and capacity building will be provided to support garment factories in engaging in collective bargaining, adopting methods to prevent disputes and improving social dialogue for improved workplace compliance. New conciliators will be trained to improve their conciliation tasks, as well as to engage in the migrant workers issues.
