Stimulating innovation and organizational change. The ILO’s Impact Insurance Facility works with leading insurers and distribution channels to help them to enhance the social and economic development impact of insurance providers in Africa. To meet this need, insurers and distribution channels must not only develop client-centric products and processes, but also establish new internal structures, systems, roles and performance measurement frameworks. The ILO therefore works with a selected partner in Mozambique to implement innovations and the relevant organizational changes that are needed to effectively deliver insurance solutions. To enhance the impact of the insurance industry, and successfully meet the risk management needs of MSMEs and low-income households, insurers and distribution channels need to innovate and develop client-centric products and processes that are cost-effective and viable in the long-term. This is rarely possible without substantial changes to business models. Organizations often need to change their standard operating procedures and internal structures. The project aims to: Spur innovation, build capacity and identify and implement the related organizational changes with NBC; Work with NBC to scale the innovations quickly to achieve sustainability, while gradually improving customer and shareholder value; Develop change management tools and demonstration cases that can be shared with the broader industry to facilitate the generation of innovative insurance solutions for the low-income market.
Legal and Institutional Reforms for Improved Labour Market Governance (The Myanmar Labour Market Governance Programme) The primary challenges for Myanmar in promoting sound labour market governance are not limited to the development of modern and responsive laws and regulations. Throughout the process, ensuring the necessary capacity exists and ensuring that the process is sufficiently open and consultative are essential. Moreover, the individual parts cannot be viewed – or addressed – independently of each other, or of the whole. The interactions between the laws and regulations, their implementation and enforcement, as well as the support to systems for dialogue and dispute settlement and prevention, have informed the programmatic approach herein. Enabling laws, coupled with compliance through a modern labour inspectorate, an improved system for dispute prevention and resolution and capable actors who are able to engage in social dialogue must work together – in a holistic and coherent fashion – to sustain the reform process. This project will attempt to contribute to the ongoing labour law reform process in Myanmar through strengthening the capacity of the Government, employers and workers organizations in developing a labour law framework and its application.
Fortalecimiento de la sostenibilidad financiera-actuarial del fondo previsional del INJUPEMP Resumen Ejecutivo Contexto El Instituto Nacional de Jubilaciones y Pensiones de Empleados y Funcionarios del Poder Ejecutivo (INJUPEMP) es una entidad previsional contributiva de derecho público, autónoma, con personalidad jurídica, patrimonio propio y duración indefinida. Después de cuarenta años de funcionamiento, y habiéndose determinado un déficit actuarial del orden de los 32,000 millones de Lempiras, se reforma la Ley del Instituto mediante el Decreto Legislativo 357-2013, publicado en el Diario Oficial La Gaceta No. 33,398 el 5 de abril de 2014 y que entró en vigor el 13 de mayo del mismo año. Considerando lo anterior, y aunado a que desde poco antes de la entrada en vigencia de la nueva Ley del INJUPEMP se observa un resultado financiero negativo del fondo, es necesario contar con una valuación actuarial independiente que evalúe integralmente la situación del Fondo de Previsión administrado por el INJUPEMP. Objetivo de desarrollo Elaboración de estudios técnicos que permitan brindar orientaciones de política para fortalecer la sostenibilidad financiera y actuarial del fondo previsional del INJUPEMP. Marco institucional Las actividades del proyecto se llevan a cabo en la sede del INJUPEMP y otras en las sedes de la OIT en San José y Ginebra. Modalidades de gestión La Oficina de la OIT en San José, a través del Especialista Principal en Protección Social y del Oficial Nacional en protección social que se designe, actúan como punto de contacto directo entre la OIT y la Dirección del INJUPEMP, y supervisan el proceso. El INJUPEMP adquiere las destrezas técnicas suficientes para darle continuidad a las valuaciones actuariales futuras, garantizando así la sostenibilidad de las actividades a ser ejecutadas. Por otra parte, la participación de la Oficina de la OIT para Centroamérica, Haití, Panamá y República Dominicana constituye un elemento clave para la sostenibilidad del proyecto. M & E La Oficina de la OIT en San José, tiene a cargo la coordinación y monitoreo de la ejecución del proyecto y cuenta con el respaldo técnico del Departamento de Protección Social de la OIT a través de la Unidad de Servicios Actuariales del Departamento de Protección Social de la OIT.

Just transition to a green economy – Uruguay In line with the overall objectives of the Agenda 2030, the transition to environmentally-sustainable economies presents many opportunities to achieve social objectives: it has the potential to be a new engine of growth, both in advanced and developing economies and a net generator of decent, green jobs that can contribute significantly to poverty eradication and social inclusion. In the context of this project, the ILO will support countries in applying the just transition guidelines - as adopted by the ILO Governing Body in November 2015. The Guidelines are both a policy framework and a practical tool to help countries at all levels of development manage the transition to low-carbon economies. Thus, the objective is (i) to support countries in their strive to create employment, ensure social well-being and protect natural resource and (ii) build a tested intervention model and best practice examples for other countries wishing to follow the just transition guidelines and adopt green jobs strategies that enhance economic and social inclusion while addressing climate change and implementing low-emission development strategies.

Technical support on formalization in Mexico This project addresses the formalization of informal enterprises and employment in the retail trade sector in Mexico. The focus is on microenterprises, characterized by high informality (84%) and low productivity (33% of the average). The project is included in the agenda of the National Tripartite Productivity Committee (CNP), since retail trade is one of its eight strategic sectors. In this context, the social partners work together with academic institutions with the long-term objective (10-15 years) of achieving the formalization of microenterprises. Through this project, the ILO provides assistance in the implementation of this strategic endeavour by implementing a training programme for managers, based on the "Retail Trade Manager" competency standard and on a package of tools for the development of sustainable enterprises. Leaders of employers’ and workers' organizations are also being trained on their role in the formalization of retail trade through guides on the benefits of formalization. The project includes a major component aimed to inform the social partners about the Transition from the Informal to the Formal Economy Recommendation, 2015 (No. 204) to ensure that it is included in their strategic agendas.
Technical support on more and better jobs in plantation sector This project seeks to ensure that the disadvantaged and vulnerable groups in rural areas, especially in post conflict and economically lagging regions, have equitable and enhanced access to more and better jobs and expanded product markets. The plantation sector is an important source of rural employment and livelihoods for nearly one million people in Sri Lanka, but decent work deficits continue to exist including on private small-holder farms. There is a need for improvement of working conditions and compliance with ILS and national legislation. To achieve this, education and training opportunities for plantation youth will be improved through design and implementation of programmes on core work, life skills development and labour rights. The ILO will roll out a series of capacity building activities to ensure effective social dialogue among the constituents and their ability to effectively assess challenges and opportunities for improving working conditions and productivity. A preventive culture of OSH will be promoted by integrating approaches that focus on workers’ health and safety, including mental health and safety, thereby positively impacting productivity and working conditions. Labour inspection will also be strengthened along with mechanisms to effectively implement obligations under the Plantation Convention, 1958 (No. 110) jointly with the social partners.

SKILL-UP Senegal (Upgrading skills for the changing world of work) Le développement des compétences est un facteur fondamental de la croissance économique et du développement du secteur privé. Au cours des dernières décennies, l'économie mondiale a connu une transformation profonde, principalement en raison de l'intégration commerciale et du progrès technologique. Pour que les pays bénéficient des avantages potentiels de l'économie mondiale actuelle et des possibilités offertes par le progrès technologique, il est essentiel que les gouvernements investissent dans la formation professionnelle, en particulier dans les pays en développement où la main-d'œuvre qualifiée est rare. Le programme ‘SKILL-UP’, fruit d’un partenariat entre OIT et le Gouvernement de la Norvège pour le biennium 2018-19, se focalise sur ces sujets. La composante du programme SKILL-UP au Sénégal est alignée avec les priorités du Plan Sénégal Emergeant : disponibilité d'un capital humain de qualité pour la transformation économique et la croissance. Le projet contribuera à la structuration du système de compétences du secteur numérique pour répondre aux besoins du marché de travail face au potentiel de développement de ce secteur.
