Food Nutrition Security of Indigenous Children and Women in Brazil This proposal aims to contribute to guaranteeing the food and nutrition security of vulnerable indigenous children and women in the municipality of Dourados – Mato Grosso do Sul State (MS), and in Alto Solimões region (Alto Solimões River) –Amazonas state, Brazil (AM). The basic strategy devised to achieve this objective involves developing actions to support the qualification and integration of public policies, especially in the fields of health and social development at local level. In Brazil, indigenous communities, particularly women and children, have not fully shared in the improved health and quality of life indicators that have been identified for the population as a whole. Two lines of action will be developed: the first of these is related to promoting access to public programs and services, especially those concerned with health and social promotion, with the aim of reducing cases of malnutrition and the infant mortality rate. The second involves a set of initiatives to promote economic autonomy, the sustainability of production of and access to food, mainly by recognizing the value of local productive systems that rely on and respect the biodiversity and food culture of these peoples, in tune with the ILO Convention 169 and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. These actions, which should produce a positive impact on the food and nutrition security of these groups, will be developed from actions that contribute to qualify public action and empower indigenous communities. Core beneficiaries1 of these actions – which are intended to promote equity and guarantee rights, particularly the Human Right to Adequate Food and the Right to Health - are pregnant women, children and adolescents. As a crosscutting axis, actions will be developed to empower Indigenous Peoples’ communities, leaderships and organizations as well as to build competences in and foster the institutional strengthening of public organizations. All initiatives will be based on the principle of participation and informed action of communities, their leaderships and organizations and public agents. All actions have been defined from priorities set forth in strategic Brazilian government programs and community demands. The project was developed from the perspective of both providing concrete and qualified support for the set of strategies related to the food and nutrition security of indigenous peoples, which the Brazilian government has already been implementing, and contributing to empower leaderships and communities with a view to achieving significant results in the living conditions of indigenous peoples in the Dourados municipality and Alto Solimões region. In a broader dimension, the project is consistent with and aims to contribute to the full realization of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals to reduce hunger and infant mortality rates.

National Rural Development in India In India, roads have come to occupy a dominant position in the transportation system of the country. It is considered an infrastructure critical to economic growth and social development. The total road network in India today stands at 3.4 million km of which 2.8 million km comprise low volume rural roads (including roads constructed and upgraded under the PMGSY programme). Rural roads comprise over 80 per cent of the road network and their being kept in serviceable condition is crucial to the agricultural growth on the one hand and affording means of access on a sustainable basis to millions of our rural people to social facilities such as schools, health centres as also to markets on the other hand. There are several challenges being faced by the country in regard to ensuring sustained maintenance of rural roads. The project development objective of the World Bank supported initiative is to enhance the systems and policies of the national PMGSY rural roads program; and improve and expand the provision and maintenance of PMGSY (Prime Minister's Rural Roads Scheme), all-season access roads to beneficiary communities resulting in enhanced economic opportunities and social services for residents in Jharkhand, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Meghalaya, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab over a period of five years. The project is structured around two components: (i) Component A – PMGSY program financing contributes to the finance of civil works expenditures in the seven participating states associated with providing new all weather access to unconnected habitations and upgrading key through routes in rural areas. The project will strengthen implementation efficiency and the sustainability of program roads through improved maintenance; and (ii) Component B – Institutional strengthening will support a technical assistance program designed to strengthen the capacity of relevant agencies to implement the program. As such the project has two priority objectives: . Enhancing operations and improved service delivery of the PMGSY to provide more cost effective, efficient and transparent delivery of infrastructure. · Sustainable maintenance and preservation of PMGSY infrastructure assets through improved policies, institutions, systems and implementation mechanisms
Global component (ILO-DFID PP on Fair Recruitment and Decent Work for Women Migrant Workers in South Asia and the Middle East The ILO-DFID partnership programme is a five-year, inter-regional technical cooperation programme that will take a targeted approach to prevent the trafficking of women and girls in South Asia and the Middle East. The overall development objective is to address key drivers and vulnerabilities of trafficking, such as poverty and gender inequality, through an integrated prevention strategy of safe migration and decent work. At least 100,000 women and girls will be reached in South Asia - (India, Nepal, and Bangladesh) - as source countries for migrant workers and in major destination countries for migrant workers (India, U.A.E, Lebanon and Jordan). Key stakeholders will include governments, social partners, the private sector, NGOs and importantly, the voice and participation of women migrant workers themselves. Interventions will take a labour and criminal law focus and community based approach, to transform the labour market imbalances that exacerbate women worker vulnerabilities to trafficking while strengthening monitoring and enforcement measures. In key countries of destination and origin, the programme will work with key stakeholders to empower and better protect women migrant workers and girls and reduce the demand of cheap and exploitable labour by creating incentives for companies, recruitment agencies and employers. Interventions will also include partnerships with governments on laws and policies that better protect migrant workers, including bilateral cooperation arrangements between countries of origin and destination. It will also work closely with research organisations to build a strong evidence base on what anti-trafficking interventions work and why. In South Asia, internal and cross border migration will be addressed, with an initial focus on the domestic work sector. In later stages of the project, interventions addressing unacceptable forms of work in the garment industries in South Asia will be explored through a process of tripartite consultation and dialogue. In UAE and Lebanon, the programme will focus on providing services, support and protection to migrant domestic workers while in Jordan partnerships will be forged with major apparel brands, suppliers and recruiters to create ethical recruitment corridors.

Greener Business Asia II This project helps fill a gap in addressing questions of how to green the economy generally rather than focusing on sectors that are considered typically green. It allows the development and testing of materials in real enterprises with delivery mechanisms that build on existing structures between workers and employers. The goal is to establish a workable support delivery mechanism which could facilitate scaling up and dissemination of the approach. Greener Business Asia (GBA) will help reduce poverty and environmental impact while ensuring decent work and enhancement of livelihoods for the poor. It will also help train leaders from tripartite bodies with a view to raising awareness on climate change and building capacity to develop requisite policies and programmes. This will be achieved by leveraging off the ILO’s experience on job creation, sectoral assistance and entrepreneurship development, to undertake research, training and knowledge sharing of examples of decent work practices at the enterprise level. At the same time, the project actively seeks to work with Japanese multinationals (MNEs) that have significant experience in promoting sound environmental practices at the enterprise level.
