Women Entrepreneurship Development Programme in Yemen The Small Micro Enterprise Promotion Service – SMEPS Yemen Social Fund for Development The Small Micro Enterprise Promotion Service (SMEPS) is a subsidiary of the social fund for development (SFD) was established by the SFD to address the needs of business services for SMEs. The Social Fund for Development was established in 1997 by Law No.10 as one of the measures to cushion the effects of the government’s reform programs on vulnerable groups, especially the poor. The SFD was formed as an autonomous agency with financial and administrative independence, governed by a Board of Directors, representing the government, NGOs, and the private sector under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister. The SFD seeks to reduce poverty by improving living conditions and providing income generating opportunities for the poor. SFD operations are carried out by seven project units: The Education, Cultural Heritage & Rural Roads , Water & Environment , Health & Social Protection , Training & Organizational Support , Agriculture & Rural Development , and Small & Micro Enterprises Development . These Units are responsible for policy setting, providing support to branch offices and monitoring progress within their respective sectors. The Yemen national strategy for small and micro enterprises (SME) development was approved by the council of Ministers on January 17, 2005. It included the establishment of a national agency to promote small and micro enterprises (The Small Micro Enterprise Promotion Service - SMEPS). SMEPS will be responsible for directing and coordinating activities to provide improved non-financial services for SMEs by planning, directing, coordinating and monitoring several programs with partner organizations. The programs will be aimed at stimulating growth and diversity within the SME sector. The ILO has an on-going project with SMEPS on “entrepreneurship education: KAB” targeting youth which started in 2008 under the patronage of the Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training. This collaboration has so far been successful. An Agreement was signed in May 2008 (copy attached) The website of the SMEPS: http://smeps.org/smeps/index.php The website of SFD: http://www.sfd-yemen.org/aboutSFD.htm

Gender Mainstreaming in HIV and AIDS in the Transport Sector Gender inequalities and HIV/AIDS are a major threat to the world of work. It affects the most productive segment of the labour force, reduces earnings, and imposes huge costs on enterprises in all sectors including the transport sectors through declining productivity, increasing labour costs and loss of skills and experience. They also threaten fundamental rights at work, particularly with respect to discrimination and stigmatisation aimed at workers and people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. The epidemic and its impact strike hardest at vulnerable groups including women and children, thereby increasing existing gender inequalities and vulnerabilities. Gender affects the world of work because people take their gender identities to work, while the workplace mirrors and sometimes exacerbates the gender inequalities and discrimination present in wider society, certain types of work or work situations may carry inherently high risk of HIV infection. Long periods away from spouses and partners such as the transport workers expose both men and women to HIV risk if other sexual partners are taken and sexual networks extended. One of the most important gaps that exist in the transport sector in Malawi is the need for more gender specific and gender sensitive policies and collective bargaining agreements. Programmes must consider the gender dimension, particularly given that the transport industry is a male dominated industry. Hence females on transport routes working as brew sellers, barmaids, commercial sex workers, partners at home and along the road are particularly vulnerable to the epidemic and requires a deliberate gender sensitive programming in the transport sector that will empower them to negotiate for safer sex; this will also be in line with the Malawi Decent Work Country Programme which is guided by the resolutions of the 2009 International Labour Conference (ILC) on gender equality at the heart of decent work, which the ILC clearly states that gender issues are to be considered when addressing the four strategic objectives of employment, social protection, rights at work and social dialogue that the ILO calls Decent Work Agenda.
National Employment Strategy The employment situation in Afghanistan is an enormous and growing challenge. The efforts of the last ten years have not begun to address the growing needs and the transition and reduced international funding will further exacerbate an already difficult situation. Out of a working-age population of over 12 million and a labour force participation of just over 8 million (66.6%) based on 2007/8 NRVA data, we are seeing an unemployment rate of 823,000 persons (7.1%), just under 4 million underemployed (48.2%) and just over 6 million in vulnerable employment (77% of the labour force). With a young population of which 49% are under the age of 15, we are set to see over 400,000 Afghans joining the labour force each year. Without the development and implementation of informed policies and strategies to promote job-rich growth, the country is likely to see growing social unrest at la Arab Spring that will put at risk the investments of the international community of the last decade. Urgent efforts are needed to support the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GoIRA), Workers’ and Employers’ Organizations in collaboration with Civil Society to generate more and better quality and sustainable jobs now. 1. Objectives 1.1 To strengthen the capacity of the MoLSAMD and GoIRA, in the development of an informed, integrated and coherent strategies for decent work in Afghanistan. • Through the implementation of such strategies it is anticipated that significant numbers of sustainable and decent jobs will be generated through the application of informed, integrated and coherent strategies at national and sub-national levels. 1.2 To support the development process of a National Employment Strategy (NES) through the holding of a National Conference on Jobs to be held jointly between the WB and the ILO. 2. Key Outputs • A National Conference on Jobs (Joint effort of WB and ILO) • A National Employment Strategy (NES) • A MoLSAMD capacitated to maintain the existing and develop future NEP and NES. 3. Strategy Outline While there are comprehensive and tested approaches the ILO has been using to support governments in the development of NES’, in the context of Afghanistan where the GoIRA has already begun the process of developing a National Labour Policy (NLP) and where, with the support of the International Community (IC) significant efforts have been undertaken to identify and develop Ministerial National Priority Programmes (NPP) that include relevant materials that should be brought together in an overarching and integrated national employment strategy, it is suggested that a more concise approach be applied.

UN Joint programme on social protection in Mozambique The Government of Mozambique has recently passed a number of key Social Protection documents, culminating in the approval of the multi-sectoral Basic Social Security Strategy in April 2010. The approval of this strategic document is of crucial importance in order to take the Social Protection agenda forward and render Social Protection as a key strategy in the Government Poverty Reduction Strategy. The implementation of this strategy will build on the achievements of the Government, and in particular the Ministry of Women and Social Action, over the past three years. The main accomplishments in this area are: • The establishment of the Social Action Working Group for the Absolute Poverty Reduction Strategy (PARPA) as a cooperating and coordination body for government and partners who are active in the field of social protection and as a body that monitors government progress in this area. • The elaboration and approval of the Social Protection Law, the Basic Social Security Regulation and the Basic Social Security Strategy. • Improvements in the implementation of the most expansive social protection programmes of the National Institute for Social Action (INAS): Cash Transfer Programme (PSA). The present UN Joint Programme proposal for the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency would build on these achievements and take the implementation of the Basic Social Security Strategy forward by further strengthening the institutional capacity of INAS (with a specific focus on targeting the most vulnerable, and on monitoring and evaluation of programme impact) and by implementing two social protection programmes: a Public Works Programme (PWP) and a Malnutrition Programme (MNP). While these two programmes are foreseen to enhance the reach of the current constellation of social protection programmes to the most vulnerable households, the proposed institutional capacity building component of the programme will seek to ensure a major impact on the cooperation and coordination capacities of INAS and MMAS, thereby greatly enhancing the direct impact and the sustainability of the PWP and MNP programmes, with a multiplier effect on other programmes implemented under INAS’s responsibility. The capacity building component is being proposed due to the fact that INAS has historically had to cope with a weak implementation capacity due to limited state fund allocation to social protection programmes. In parallel, the Ministry of Women and Social Action has had an equally weak coordination position vis-á-vis other key state and non-state partners. The multi-sectoral dimension of the proposed support is envisioned to improve the capacities of these institutions with a long-lasting effect on programme implementation. The initiatives that the UN Joint Programme on Social Protection is proposing to support are programmes that are reflected in Government strategies and plans, were approved by the Council of Ministers, and are foreseen to be implemented from 2011.
