Improving Indigenous Peoples' access to justice This project is part of a broader programme, known as the Global Indigenous Navigator Initiative, which is comprised of two complementary projects. The present project will support (1) consolidation of the Indigenous Navigator Global-web site, including a data-portal, and the finalization of a set of tools and training materials, the broader dissemination of the Indigenous Navigator framework, and (2) training and capacity building of indigenous communities, their institutions and organizations, and data collection in a selected number of communities. On the basis of this, the complementary project under the GPGC-programme (“Making the SDGs work for indigenous peoples”), will support the production of reports, briefs and factsheets based on data collected through the Indigenous Navigator framework to feed into advocacy, dialogue and other engagement initiatives. This is expected to lead to policy change and improved enjoyment by indigenous peoples of their human rights and access to development.
OSH for Young Workers and Young Employers in Global Supply Chains—Building a Culture of Prevention The International Labour Organization (ILO) is requesting $1 million over 24 months to implement a regional occupational safety and health project targeting young workers and employers in Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Viet Nam. The goal of the project is to reduce workplace injuries, fatalities, and occupational diseases through increased preventative safety actions by young workers and young employers. The project will develop and pilot test various tools, methodologies and strategies to raise workplace safety awareness and to generate public demand for improvements in national OSH systems. It will focus on young workers and young employers working in the construction and manufacturing supply chains. Networks of intermediaries will be activated and equipped with the tools and skills to promote OSH awareness and action. Increased public demand for workplace safety, together with greater public awareness of OSH rights and duties, will help to build a preventative safety culture. By the end of the project, young workers and young employers targeted by the project are expected to take action to reduce workplace injuries, fatalities and occupational diseases. They will be able to develop initiatives such as communication campaigns in various environments including vocational training institutions, develop their own training programmes on OSH at enterprise level, enhance fire and building safety measures at their workplace etc. The key components of the project are as follows: 1) Create tools and communication materials to educate young workers and young employers on OSH issues and pilote them in one or more sectors. 2) Collaborate with national and regional partners to develop and activate networks of intermediaries -- including young workers and young employers -- to effectively promote OSH awareness and action in their workplaces and communities. 3) Empower young workers and young employers through their representation at the XXI World Congress on Safety and Health at Work to promote public engagement on OSH issues and increase popular demand for safer and healthier workplaces.
Enhancing Jobs and Schooling decision of Moldovan youth The project proposes to fill some of the information gaps that young Moldovan face in making schooling and jobs decision by introducing an adapted and innovated version of the ‘Surfing the labour market’ tool, including through the web and the phone application. The adaptation will be done through a partnership with relevant institutions (employment offices, career centres, schools, employers) to improve its effectiveness and also ensure follow up to this intervention. The direct beneficiaries of the intervention are the staff of employment offices, career guidance centres, and schools who will be able to contribute to the development/adaptation and launch of an additional career guidance tool that will be both web-based and in the form of an application. The ultimate beneficiaries of the intervention are young people who need more education and occupational information to be made available to them. Indirect beneficiaries of the intervention will be employers, as they may observe an improvement in the matching between career choices and the occupational profiles required by business.

Creating Decent Work Opportunities for Syrian Refugees and Host Communities Through Infrastructure Improvement in Lebanon The project aims at creating short- to mid-term employment opportunities for Lebanese host community members and Syrian refugees through infrastructure works. At the centre of the project are labour-intensive infrastructure rehabilitation and improvement measures such as rural road rehabilitation, water catchment cisterns and terracing. The project will be implemented in the most vulnerable municipalities of Bekaa, North and Mount Lebanon that host most of the deprived Lebanese and refugees. The infrastructure measures will be complemented by trainings, on employment intensive methods for contractors and capacity building for public institutions. Especially the Ministry of Labour will be supported in order to promote a system for speedy and transparent issuance of work permits to Syrian refugees in Lebanon, allowing them to legally and formally take up employment. The project has four module objectives. The first two objectives are 1) to improve access to decent employment of Lebanese Host Community Members and Syrian refugees and 2) to improve infrastructure and public assets for Lebanon. The proposed project will directly create mid- to long-term job opportunities for Lebanese (in particular skilled labour in the construction sector) as well as temporary work opportunities for Lebanese job-seekers (semi-skilled) and Syrian refugees. Objectives three and four concern the legal employment of Syrian Refugees and an institutionalization of employment intensive investment programs in Lebanon: 3) enhanced capacity of the Ministry of Labour to facilitate the implementation of employment intensive programs and issuance of work permits; 4) MoSA capacity strengthened as the lead Ministry of the Crisis Response and labour-intensive approaches institutionalised. Beneficiaries are Syrian refugees and Lebanese women and men in the most vulnerable areas of North Lebanon, Bekaa and Mount Lebanon. The project will focus on villages, municipalities and neighbourhoods that host a high ratio of displaced Syrians to Lebanese population. These communities are at high risk of tension and conflict due to the lack of services and the competition over job opportunities and other factors.
El país mejora sus capacidades para proteger los derechos laborales de las trabajadoras indígenas, domésticas y personas con discapacidad para responder al VIH en el mundo del trabajo Dada la importancia del generar cambios en las percepciones y la recomendación de continuar trabajando con los gremios y fomentando alianzas, se incorpora un componente para trabajar con el sector empresarial. El apoyo del sector empresarial es de suma importancia para lograr cambiar los problemas estructurales que arraigan la discriminación. Se llevaran a cabo actividades de capacitación y sensibilización sobre la no-discriminación en las empresas con el apoyo de las organizaciones de empleadores, utilizando materiales y metodologías desarrolladas por la OIT. Se priorizaran sectores que empleen mayoritariamente mujeres y donde haya brechas importantes en la calidad del empleo. Además, se llevarán acabó actividades para dar a conocer la situación laboral de las trabajadoras domésticas con la organizaciones de mujeres indígenas. De esta manera se espera ir ampliando la red de organizaciones sensibles a la discriminación de género y etnia y la situación de las trabajadoras indígenas, en particular las trabajadoras domésticas. Dado que las trabajadoras indígenas y en particular las trabajadoras domésticas, son particularmente vulnerables, se incorporarán explícitamente actividades contra la violencia y el acoso en el lugar de trabajo.
Technical support on employment in Costa Rica This project aims at creating decent work, in particular for women and young people. In August 2014 the Government of Costa Rica launched its National Employment and Productive Development Strategy (ENEDP). The ILO contributed to its design and was requested to provide technical support for its implementation. This will include: the promotion of social dialogue on formalization of the informal economy; capacity building and development of regulatory frameworks to promote on-the-job training; technical advice to the Presidential Economic Council and to ILO constituents on the links between economic policy and employment; technical support to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security in order to improve its technical and institutional management capacities for the effective implementation of the ENEDP.
Roads for Development (R4D) Phase II Roads for Development (R4D) is a Timor-Leste Government (GoTL) program which the Australian Government (GoA) supports with technical assistance. R4D works to improve the management and condition of the rural road network in Timor-Leste. Australia’s R4D Support Program (R4D-SP) works to strengthen the capacity of the National Directorate of Roads, Bridges and Flood Control (DRBFC) within the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communications (MPWTC) to oversee rehabilitation and maintenance of rural roads using private sector contractors. The first phase of R4D ran from 2012 to 2016. GoA and GoTL have agreed to fund a second phase. This Design Update Annex (DUA) is not a new design for R4D, the scope of the program remains essentially unchanged. The changes encompassed in the DUA are adjustments in the approach to reflect lessons learned, progress made and the evolving context in Timor-Leste throughout Phase I. The original Program Design Document remains the primary design document. The DUA should be used as an annex to the original design. Together, the two documents will direct the program for a second, four-year period, Phase II, from 2017 to 2020. Australia’s Phase II support will be known as the Roads for Development Support Program (R4D-SP). The Phase II End-of-Program Outcome defines the basis for a functioning and sustainable rural roads sector: selected rural communities throughout Timor-Leste are connected by rehabilitated and systematically maintained, core rural roads in line with the GoTL Rural Roads Master Plan. These ‘core rural roads’ are the 1975 km of existing rural roads that connect rural sukus to urban areas, national roads or municipal roads.
