Decent Work in the Green Economy The interest in Green Jobs and the demand for knowledge and technical support is increasing sharply, accelerated by the UNCSD 2012 Summit (Rio+20). A growing number of studies and initiatives address the development potential of the green economy and the need to steer the transition towards a more inclusive and fairer society. However, more visibility and understanding is needed about the employment and social dimension in the transition to the green economy to ensure productive and decent work for present and future generations. The ILO project “Decent Work in the Green Economy” will focus on the employment aspects of national efforts for a transition to the green economy: At national level, awareness raising, capacity building and green jobs assessments will build the ground for the design of national strategies that focus on the creation of decent work for women and men in green or greened economic sectors. The intended impact of the project is that these country strategies and initiatives will benefit job seekers and workers through accessing gainful and productive job opportunities. Enterprises, esp. SMEs, will be taking advantage of new business opportunities in green markets and will be adopting green business practices in their operations (greening-up and greening-down the value chain). Special emphasis will be given to the challenge to overcome skills shortages for green jobs. Country level activities will be reinforced by a global knowledge sharing strategy providing stakeholders access to up-to-date information and policy guidance and strengthening networks and cooperation among countries and international institutions. The two level project strategy (national – international) aims to strengthen the ability of national stakeholders to design strategies for decent work in prioritized sectors/areas and to expand their policy initiatives for green jobs to other sectors/areas, seeking coherence and collective efficiencies among ministries and social partners. The project will be implemented by the ILO. Project target countries are China, Mexico and Turkey.

Cooperation to Address the Worst Forms of Child Labour in Agriculture: Support to the International Agricultural Partnership The project aims to extend IPEC’s arena of action on agriculture by mainstreaming child labour into the policies and programmes of the international agricultural agencies, and to overcome roadblocks on the ground by capitalizing on the breadth of experience and opportunity offered by ILO-IPEC projects working in rural areas. It speaks to the goals which the Partnership set for itself in its initial meeting in 2008, namely to: (i) promote cooperation and achieve policy coherence on child labour among the Partners, and develop policy and programme links especially at the field level; (ii) create awareness of and mainstream child labour concerns into existing activities, programmes, and projects of agricultural organizations and help agricultural agencies and bodies to understand how the elimination of child labour in agriculture, especially hazardous child labour, contributes to achieving organizational mandates; (iii) promote action and cooperation in operational activities aimed at improving rural livelihoods; (iv) promote action and cooperation in operational activities to ensure that children do not carry out hazardous work in agriculture; and (v) promote opportunities for decent youth employment in agriculture and in rural areas. At the global level, this will take the form of a strengthened knowledge base on child labour in agriculture, including both statistical and behavioural data, as well as a policy framework that will help to guide the Partnership agencies’ staff and local partners as they incorporate child labour into their action plans and budgets, and in their advice to governments on the legal, occupational safety and health (OSH), rural development, gender, and youth employment implications concerning child labour in agriculture. At the country level, it will take the form of national partnerships comprised of agriculture ministries, workers’ organizations, and employers’ groups in three target countries. These national partnerships, in turn, will be responsible for undertaking capacity-building activities (awareness-raising and training) for those who work directly with local farmers and farm groups. Also, in selected countries where IPEC projects have an agricultural component, the national partnerships will be assisted to experiment with innovative solutions to the problems that inhibit effective action against child labour in agriculture, sharing their findings with each other through a “community of practice” on agriculture.

The WoW effectively responds to HIV and AIDS through Recommendation 200 with emphasis on social protection The ILO promotes the development of national policy and related legal frameworks as well as strengthening knowledge and skills in HIV prevention, AIDS support in the context of social protection in the world of work. The emphasis is on capacity development of government ministries, employers organizations and workers’ trade unions; promotion of gender equality and non-discrimination; knowledge sharing and social partnership enhancement at country and international levels. Strategically, the proposal contributes to Outcome 8 through the three pillars: 1) Support the development of national tripartite workplace policies. 2) Strengthen capacity of the tripartite constituents to proactively respond to the HIV and TB epidemics. 3) Enhance the Office’s knowledge basis, with particular reference to prevention and impact mitigation through social protection. Activities will be carried out in close collaboration with employers’ and workers’ organizations and labour administration and labour inspection as well as with associations of people living with HIV to ensure that views and needs of the tripartite-plus constituents are fully reflected. In addition, due consideration will be given to mitigate discrimination and the disproportionate impact of HIV, AIDS and HIV-TB burden on women.

Improving the Governance and protection mechanisms for labour migration in the Gulf States The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has developed a regional programme in four Gulf countries in order to provide the necessary technical support to national constituents to improve the governance and protection mechanisms afforded to low-skilled migrant workers. The proposal has three major outcomes, which focus on regional data management, research and policy reform; service delivery to migrant workers; and capacity training programmes for key stakeholders. This regional project is the first of its kind in the Arab States, and underscores the ILO’s commitment to technical cooperation in the field of labour migration. It has been developed in conjunction with another regional project promoting decent work for domestic workers. The ultimate objective of this project is to ensure decent work opportunities for men and women migrant workers, in order to allow them in turn to contribute to the development of their respective countries of origin and destination. ILO has aligned the proposed intervention with current technical cooperation projects underway in Lebanon and Jordan, as well as ILO’s global project on combating forced labour and trafficking, funded by Irish Aid, which has planned several activities in the Middle East region. This proposal has also been drafted in conjunction with another regional advocacy project focusing specifically on decent work for domestic workers. This project has a regional focus, and includes targeted interventions in the following four GCC countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Saudi Arabia. These countries have been selected based on a number of criteria including the number of migrant domestic workers living and working in these countries; the existing ILO projects underway in the region; the current volatile security situation (which prevents work currently in Iraq, Syria and Yemen); and the existence of social partners in the region. The ILO has chosen these countries while recognising the need and importance of discussing the proposed project with its constituents. ILO will organise a project inception workshop once the Programme Coordinator has been recruited, in order to present this regional project to the national constituents in the four GCC countries and discuss any required changes in approach and strategy.
Strengthening social dialogue and industrial relations in new member states and candidate countries of the European Union through the capacity building of workers and employers The EC/ILO Joint Management Agreement on “Cooperation on Social Dialogue and Industrial relations in the context of the financial and economic crisis” was signed in November 2012 in the context of the implementation of the 2012 Industrial relations and Social dialogue EU budget heading, and the strategic partnership between the EC and the ILO as agreed upon in the Exchange of Letters of 14 May 2001. The objective of this programme is to promote cooperation on social dialogue and industrial relations in EU member states, and EU candidate and potential candidate countries, in the context of the financial and economic crisis. In this 2nd twelve-month phase, the Commission and the ILO are carrying out a joint project in the area of social dialogue and industrial relations, building up on a first phase and taking advantage of the global expertise of the ILO in these areas. The joint project covers both capacity building actions in support of workers' and employers' organizations, and analytical work. The joint management project includes five components: (1) Strengthening sectoral social dialogue in New Member States and Candidate countries of the EU in EFFAT and EMCEF sectors, (2) Employers Young Professionals Academy, (3) Adjustments in the public sector in Europe: Scope, effects and policy issues, (4) Promoting a balanced and inclusive recovery from the crisis in Europe through sound industrial relations and social dialogue: the impacts of the crisis in Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain, and (5) Stocktaking of social dialogue practices in new EU Member states.
Promotion and building unemployment insurance and employment services in ASEAN (2011-12) Under the current worldwide financial and economic crisis, employment situation has been striking badly in Asia. By promoting and building unemployment insurance and employment services, this project aims to bottom-up low income workers and improve people’s welfare, and cultivate effective demands in Asian region as results. Most of the Asian countries, however, do not have fully functional public employment service agencies or unemployment insurance systems. There is a concern that lack of social security for un- and underemployed workers in those countries might lead societal instability incurred by enlargement of gaps and inequalities in society. In this regard, there are immediate needs in particular, unemployment insurance system, and building the capacity of employment service agencies which can implement the system in fair and effective manner. This project aims to provide technical and financial assistance with the expertise of the ILO for building-up unemployment insurance system in Asian countries in collaboration with ASEAN Secretariat. Development objective: To increase awareness and interest among ASEAN countries as well as to provide support in the design, implementation and proper operation of unemployment insurance combined with a range of employment services. Immediate objectives: 1. A platform to extend income-security measures (for those workers who lose employment or whose income is reduced) and employment services for workers in ASEAN countries is strengthened through awareness raising activities and research; 2. Unemployment Insurance scheme in Viet Nam functions effectively, with improved financial sustainability and overall management and increased population covered; 3. A network of expertise among ASEAN countries on unemployment insurance schemes and employment services is strengthened. Direct recipients at ASEAN level: ASEAN secretariat, policy makers, managers and technical staff Direct recipients in Vietnam: The Bureau of Employment (BOE) and Technical departments under Ministry of Labour, Invalid, and Social Affairs (MoLISA), The Viet Nam Social Security(VSS), the provincial and district level Labour administration, and Workers’ and Employers’ Organizations.

EUROPEAN UNION REGIONAL TRUST FUND IN RESPONSE TO THE SYRIAN CRISIS The overall objective of the Trust Fund is to provide a coherent and reinforced aid response to the Syrian crisis on a regional scale, responding primarily in the first instance to the urgent needs of Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries, as well as of the communities hosting the refugees and their administrations. The Trust Fund will thus focus on current priority needs and may also be adapted to reconstruction needs in a future post-conflict scenario.
Strengthening Youth Inclusion in Political Affairs on Local and National Levels Contract related to: Strengthening Youth Inclusion in Political Affairs on Local and National Levels - While the humanitarian needs are huge, with almost 14 million people in need of assistance, the changing nature of the crisis requires a more robust medium-term approach supporting the resilience and early recovery efforts of Syrian citizens wherever possible at a grassroots level ¿ going beyond emergency and life-saving responses. There is also a clear imperative to support medium to longer-term interventions which focus on strengthening systems and fostering resilience and sustainability. This Special Measure will therefore support the resilience and early recovery needs of the Syrian population through community-driven interventions aimed at the provision of key services while supporting social cohesion at the local level. Four priority areas of intervention have been selected. Interventions in the health and education sectors will focus on strengthening the provision of key services now, but will also pay attention, among others, to aspects which increase resilience, such as strengthened capacities of healthcare personnel to manage services and systems, or greater investments in vocational education providing youth with viable livelihood opportunities. This Special Measure will also continue to build urban and rural resilience, providing integrated support to a number of urban areas and their rural hinterlands with the aim of mitigating further instability, displacement and loss of human capital by employing a people-centred approach to recovery and social cohesion. Finally, this action will support local Syrian civil society actors to build their capacities as independent development actors in their communities, promoting inclusive, transparent and participatory processes, which can support early recovery and foster social cohesion.Individual areas of the action will contribute to four Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) linked directly to the priority sectors of intervention. Due attention to cross-cutting issues, especially gender and support for vulnerable community members will lead to contributions towards SDGs on gender inequality and reduced inequalities. Together, the separate interventions will contribute towards the overarching goal of a reduction in poverty.The action will give priority (1) to a `Whole of Syria¿ approach as long as the operational context allows, and (2) to communities where significant numbers of returnees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are located. &nbsp;
