Decent Jobs for Egypt's Young People - Tackling the Challenge Together in Qalyoubia and Menoufia EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Following the revolution, Egypt’s already high youth unemployment rate has exacerbated from 19 per cent in 2010 to 28.9 per cent in 2012. Egypt’s ‘youth bulge’ whereby one quarter of the country’s population is aged between 18 and 29 has become a major predicament rather than a unique opportunity for development, as job growth has failed to keep up with increases in the working-age population. In addition, the jobs that are being created are very poor in quality, and are mainly concentrated in Egypt’s informal economy which fails to provide decent work conditions. This lack of decent work is preventing the next generation of Egyptians from gaining the skills, experience and income necessary for the further economic, social and political development of their country. Drawing on lessons learned from numerous youth employment initiatives in Egypt and in other countries, the following project document proposes an ambitious multi-dimensional and integrated approach to stimulating youth employment over a three year period in two Egyptian Governorates: Qalyoubia and Menoufia. The project aims at increasing decent employment opportunities for young men and women, especially vulnerable groups.
Consolidation de la paix à travers l'appui à la réintégration socio-économique durable en faveur des personnes affectées par le conflit Le programme de ‘‘Consolidation de la paix à travers l’appui a la réintégration socioéconomique durable en faveur des personnes affectées par le conflit’’ est une contribution des Nations Unies à la mise en œuvre de la Stratégie Nationale de Réintégration socio-économique de personnes affectées par le Conflit. Cette stratégie est dictée par le souci de contribuer à la stabilisation post-conflit par le biais de la réintégration socio-économique des populations affectées par un conflit vieux de plus de 15 ans, afin de créer un environnement favorable au développement durable du pays. Elle vise les rapatriés y compris les expulsés, les déplacés internes, les ex-combattants et tous les autres groupes rendus particulièrement vulnérables par les effets du conflit. La stratégie globale du programme réintégration mettra l’emphase sur le rétablissement des capacités des institutions, tant au niveau national que local et des communautés afin de reconstruire le pays sur de nouvelles bases dans une perspective de développement durable. L'appui du BIT s'inscrit au niveau de l'effet de programme n° 3 intitulé "Les systèmes de production et l’entreprenariat local sont améliorés et diversifiés pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire des ménages, la réintégration socio-économique durable des populations affectées par le conflit et contribuer ainsi à trouver une solution durable aux questions foncières", et contribue particulièrement au produit 3.1. intitulé "Les communautés ont les capacités techniques et financières pour monter des entreprises locales (agricoles et non agricoles) novatrices, génératrices d’emploi et de revenus ayant une valeur ajoutée pour la consolidation de la paix."

Programme de développement des filières au Burundi (PRODEFI) - Composante Emploi des Jeunes Ruraux A. Contexte de conception de la composante 1. Compte tenu de l’ampleur du chômage des jeunes et de son impact négatif sur la stabilité économique et sociale du pays, le Gouvernement du Burundi a demandé au FIDA de contribuer à l’effort national de promotion de l’emploi des jeunes dans les zones rurales. Un montant additionnel à l’allocation du Burundi de 6,6 millions USD a été accordé au pays pour lancer des activités dans ce domaine sous la forme d’une composante nouvelle à ajouter au Programme de développement des filières (PRODEFI). Ce projet a été jugé comme le meilleur cadre d’utilisation de ce montant compte tenu de ses objectifs de développement des activités à l’aval de la production et de son potentiel de création d’emplois agricoles et non agricoles. 2. Les objectifs de cette nouvelle composante sont alignés avec le Cadre stratégique du FIDA (COSOP) et avec le Cadre Stratégique de lutte contre la Pauvreté du Burundi (CSLP 2). 3. Sa mise en oeuvre sera conforme aux politiques et directives du Fonds notamment en ce qui concerne le ciblage, le genre et la finance rurale. Il est également aligné avec le Système de gestion basé sur les résultats et impacts (SYGRI). B. Raison d’être 4. La promotion de l’emploi des jeunes est une priorité du CSLP II. Toutefois, ce domaine d’action n’a pas fait l’objet d’initiatives substantielles dans le passé, en dehors d’actions limitées consistant à procurer du travail temporaire en faveur des démobilisés et de petites interventions de réintégration des groupes affectés par la crise ou encore, d’organisation des stages de premier emploi en faveur des jeunes diplômés, d’appui à l’accès au microcrédit et de création de centres pour jeunes au niveau des communes qui ont permis à quelques jeunes d’accéder à l’emploi. Il convient maintenant d’aller au-delà de la situation de l’urgence et de considérer la problématique de l’emploi des jeunes dans son ensemble comme un élément fondamental et primordial de croissance et du développement économique et de la préservation de la paix sociale. 5. Compte tenu de la faiblesse de la capacité des autres secteurs économiques du Burundi et en l’absence de programme de développement de petites et moyennes entreprises, le secteur primaire est pour l’instant la seule source potentielle de création d’emplois. 6. En effet, l’agriculture burundaise est en voie de transformation et cette transformation qui est orientée vers la modernisation des exploitations est appuyée par la mise en oeuvre du PNIA. Elle est en mesure d’intégrer l’emploi des jeunes comme un élément essentiel de cette dynamique grâce aux programmes en cours d’exécution notamment au niveau du développement des infrastructures et de l’intensification et de la valorisation de la production agricole par le biais du développement des filières agricoles.

Promoting Rights and Opportunities for People with Disabilities through Legislation PROPEL-Indonesia aims to support the addressing of gaps in policy and legislative protection on employment and training of persons with disability to ensure they are consistent with international standards. Support will be given through provision of technical advice and support to the government, in consultation with key stakeholder; through national and provincial level workshops to consider the findings of a review to be commissioned and deciding on action required; and through technical assistance in follow-up to these workshop, to give effect to the decisions taken. PROPEL-Indonesia also aims to build capacity of key stakeholders in Government, trade unions, employers’ organization, and civil society organizations, national and provincial (district) levels. Officials of the Central Statistics Office will be included in relevant training, whenever possible. In order to enhance the understanding of rights of persons with disabilities concerning employment and training, as well as the provisions of the UNCRPD and the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Disabled persons) Convention (No. 159), capacity building will be done through national and provincial trainings and workshops, as well as through disability inclusion courses offered at ILO’s International Training Centre, Turin (ITC Turin). In the long-term perspective (2014-15), the focus will be on improving the capacity to implement revised and newly adopted laws, with a view to increasing access of people with disabilities to training and employment opportunities, on an equal basis with others.

Promoting decent work and productive employment of young people in rural areas: A review of strategies and programmes The promotion of decent work for young people is increasingly being recognized in national development frameworks. Meanwhile, several donors and multilateral organizations have long been involved in the promotion of employment and poverty reduction programmes in rural areas. IFAD itself provides substantial support to rural development promotion but most of these projects have not had a specific focus on rural youth, although the interventions have improved youth’s employment prospects and working conditions through their participation in these projects. Only a few projects, mainly concentrated in the NENA region where youth unemployment is rather significant in rural areas, have had young people as specific target group. This approach is, however, changing, as IFAD has taken steps towards increasing youth programming through farm and non-farm activities but also training and other labour market measures targeting young farmers. This is particularly emphasized in the Rural Enterprise Projects co-financed by the Fund in some of the countries it operates. Against the above described backdrop, the proposed project will review IFAD strategies and employment programmes involving young people through decent work lenses, with the aim of drawing lessons about good practices and about improvable aspects. The project will consist of three phases. The first phase will centre on the development of a methodological framework to collect and systematize data and information on IFAD’s rural development programmes involving youth. The second phase will revolve around the analytical review of such interventions as well as other non-IFAD programmes targeting rural youth, with a view to distil good practices and lessons learnt. Finally, the third phase will focus on the dissemination of the key findings and recommendations to feed into the development of future interventions.

Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises in South Africa The objective of the SCORE South Africa project is to promote sustainable employment opportunities in rural areas. The project will work with managers and staff in wildlife lodges as well as surrounding communities to the Madikwe Game Reserve and the greater Addo area. The expected end result of this project is a replicable model to achieve the following situation: • Wildlife lodges providing excellent services based on motivated and skilled staff • A long term vision of the lodges shared by both the lodge operators and surrounding communities • Enterprises in the surrounding communities providing goods and services to the lodges • A better understanding of the social, environmental and economic benefits of sustainable wildlife tourism among national industry stakeholders, e.g. operators To achieve these results the following five main areas of intervention were established during the initial project design mission in November. 1. At the lodge level the need in some lodges to establish good workplace cooperation and HR strategies and systems. Some of these strategies might be directly linked to the global economic crisis and the implications on the lodges. 2. At the lodge level the need to train and certify staff with recognized diplomas in order to improve the service quality level as well as the self confidence and motivation of the workers. 3. At the lodge / community level, ensure that there is a dialogue on how the community and lodge will develop together in order to minimize tension and maximize the benefits of all stakeholders involved. 4. At the lodge / community level support the establishment of businesses in the surrounding communities that can provide goods and services to the wildlife lodges. 5. At the wildlife tourism industry level, support awareness of sustainable tourism To deliver these services, a combination of various local and national experts will be engaged. Some will be trained in using ILO methodologies on sustainable and responsible workplace practices and stakeholder dialogue, while others will base their intervention on national vocational training curricula. A “virtual college” hosted by a park based foundation will be the main coordinating organization at the park level. The virtual college will, with support from the ILO, develop a training and support plan for the stakeholders involved. This plan will be based on an in-depth assessment of the lodges and communities. The role of the ILO-SCORE project will be to: • Train trainers in responsible workplace practices • Support the dialogue between lodges and communities • Facilitate links to vocational tourism skills providers • Support the development of enterprise start-up and support services for community based enterprise development • Organize workshops on sustainable tourism for national industry stakeholders with influence on the development of the tourism industry and access to national and international markets • Facilitate a mix of revenue streams (lodge owners, provincial departments, ILO etc) to create a financially sustainable virtual college
Gender Mainstreaming in Phase I of the ILO Norway Partnership Agreement Following on from the activities undertaken under different phases of the Norway/ILO Partnership throughout 2008-2011, this GMP project will focus on ensuring that the work of the first phase of the Norway/ILO Partnership Agreement 2012-13 in Indonesia 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 Indonesia, so that “women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated.” Under the Norway/ILO PA, GENDER will work with ILO colleagues and constituents in Indonesia to ensure that work being undertaken in the following areas is gender mainstreamed: • Labour administration • Promotion of freedom of association Indonesia has ratified the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111), and Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100), and it is within this context that the work to promote gender equality in the workplace in the country is manifest. In this context the project will work to ensure that compliance with Equal Pay and combating discrimination are central to labour inspection methodologies in Indonesia. Meanwhile as the vast majority of domestic workers in Indonesia are women, promoting their right to freedom of association may be considered a gender-specific action aimed at empowering women workers.
