Improved governance of labour migration and mobility in line with ILS The ILO is engaging with tripartite constituents in Jordan to enhance labour migration governance and improve the protection of migrant workers, ensuring decent work and fair prosperity sharing. This aligns with the ROAS Strategy on Labour Migration 2024-2027 and is informed by various ILO declarations and statements. 
To achieve these goals, the ILO will focus on establishing and strengthening institutional mechanisms for implementing and monitoring labour migration governance frameworks. Efforts will also advance policy and legislation for better protection of migrant workers and refugees, adhering to relevant International Labour Standards (ILS), including Conventions Nos. 97, 143, 181, 189, 190, and their related Recommendations. The ILO will promote due diligence for fair treatment of migrant workers among employers.
The ILO will provide evidence-based policy advice, research, capacity building, training, stakeholder engagement, impact monitoring, and the promotion of good practices. Special attention will be given to migrant workers, including Syrians, in the domestic work, construction, agriculture, and garment sectors, particularly in Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZs).
Additionally, the ILO will leverage its participation in the UN Network on Migration in Jordan, which it co-convenes with IOM, to discuss the situation of migrant workers and other migration issues.

Employment policy developed and Employment mainstreamed in the national development framework Namibia is an upper-middle income economy, which however suffers from several challenges including high unemployment that are significantly higher among youths at 43% and 48.5% among young women, with women dominating employment in the informal sector at 61.2%; and estimated 70% of the population not having access to electricity, widespread poverty, as well as being one of the most unequal societies in the world. The Government of Namibia has embarked on several ambitious plans to address these grave challenges, albeit with mixed success (as evidenced by the ILO-supported independent evaluation of the 2nd National Employment Policy). 

Against this backdrop, high hopes are being placed on the development of a large-scale green hydrogen industry to support national economic growth and development as well as to contribute to addressing climate change and global decarbonisation goals. Namibia has been identified as one of top three locations for green hydrogen production due to its high potential for hybrid solar photo voltaic and onshore wind production as renewable energy sources for the green hydrogen production. A multi-billion-dollar HYPHEN Southern Corridor Development Initiative (SCDI) Namibian Green Hydrogen Project is being developed in phases aiming to produce 300,000 metric tons of green hydrogen per year. There is an expectation that these investments will result in employment and socio-economic benefits for local communities, but there is a risk that these will not come about without clear support in several areas. The RBSA initiative seeks to support constituents to reap these benefits for Namibian women and men. 

The Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment Creation and the National Planning Commission have requested assistance from the ILO to ensure that the investment leads to social impacts and results in employment and skills development opportunities for Namibians. Further support requests relate to formulating the 3rd National E

Enhanced youth access to employment among Syrian refugees and Jordanian host communities Social partners are essential in advocating for workers’ and employers’ interests and ensuring a fair transition to a green economy in Jordan, which provides quality jobs for all Jordanians. The role of capacity building, socioeconomic impact assessments, political support, and forming alliances with civil society is critical in promoting this just transition. The ILO aims to enhance the capacity of national stakeholders in Jordan through capacity-building initiatives and policy integration efforts, fostering more inclusive climate policy measures at the national level. Integrating decent work concerns into climate and environmental policies helps ensure policy coherence and supports the creation of tangible decent jobs in high green employment potential sectors.
The ILO's efforts will support Jordanian constituents in addressing the just transition challenges outlined in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), focusing on capacity, technology, and financial barriers, and implementing recommendations from the ILO-GIZ Green Jobs Assessment Report (2023). Additionally, it will aid the government in executing their Economic Modernization Vision plan. The outcome aims to enable policymakers in the Southern Mediterranean region to incorporate an employment perspective into trade and investment policies, optimizing employment creation, particularly for women, youth, and small- and medium-sized enterprises. Employment and trade impact assessments of large EU-funded infrastructure investments will be conducted, considering gender, skills, and age groups to estimate employment effects. Once validated, these analyses will lead to concrete policy recommendations and action plans.

Strengthened institutional capacity of employers' organizations With the advent of COVID-19 pandemic, skills needs, and skills development tools of employers have changed rapidly. ALEB’s Business Agenda of the  Association of Employers and Business  (ALEB) emanating  from the Lesotho EESE Study  is that there is an urgent need for curriculum reform to ensure that training institutions deliver suitably capacitated graduates to meet the needs of the job market and economy. One major challenge in addressing skills gap is the lack of quality vocational training. The skills needed are usually acquired through informal technical and vocational education and training institutions. Most universities in Lesotho don’t focus enough on practical skills, and there’s a bias towards social sciences. 
During the biennium, the ILO will work with the employers’ organisations in Lesotho towards the development of a Sectoral Skills Councils to ensure that planning and delivering vocational education and training the sectoral dimension needs to play an important part in addressing the skills challenge in the country.
The ILO will work closely with the employers' organisation to ensure their effective involvement in policy formulation i,e,development of the Decent Work Country Programme:2024 -2028 and effective participation in the implementation of the Development Cooperation Projects in Lesotho ie. the Government of Lesotho/World Bank funded project on “Expanding enterprise participation in the textile and clothing global value chain” as well as the United Department of Labour funded project SDOL funded project on  Supporting Safe and Inclusive Work Environments.

Employment policies formulated in Iraq, using strengthened LMI systems and LM statistics ILO partnering with the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) and Kurdistan Statistical Organization (KRSO) in Iraq, has been able to implement and publish the first national Labour Force Survey (LFS) in a decade. The survey depicts the employment’s challenges, with a focus on the youth population. The labour market is characterized by high rates of unemployment with significant differences by age and gender. In addition, underemployment is a significant challenge to the country. In turn, a high proportion of workers are in the public sector, while informal employment dominates in the private sector. These situations exacerbate the country’s stagnant growth, inequalities, and social challenges which necessitates to formulation of a new evidence-based National Employment Policy (NEP).
The ILO in collaboration with NEP Drafting Committee formed by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour (MOSAL) and its tripartite constituents and relevant stakeholders including the Parliament, has been working closely to develop the National Employment Policy for Iraq based on the findings of the LFS and informality diagnostic studies. 
In this biennium, work will focus on providing technical support for the tripartite plus discussions of the policy in the Drafting Committee and later on in the Higher Committee for Labour Force Planning, in preparation for it to be sent to the Cabinet for adoption. The support will involve providing best practice, benchmarks and innovative policy instruments that have proven effective in addressing the labour market issues that Iraq faces.

Regional Strategy Adopted for the implementation of SPF and comprehensive social security in Arab States This CPO will support articulating social protection reforms with the expansion of decent jobs, in the Arab region. Despite differences in contexts, all countries grapple with transitioning from a social contract based on public employment and universal subsidies to one that delivers good jobs in the private sector and inclusive social protection safeguards. ILO (As a co-lead with UNICEF) of the Issue-Based Coalition (IBC) on social protection will have to play a critical role in supporting the implementation at the country level.
