Increased accessibility of sustainable financial and business development services to economically and socially disadvantaged women 2011 The joint programme is designed with the aim to contribute to the realization of the gender outcome within the UNDAF “Women’s empowerment, gender equality and children’s rights promoted and strengthened”. The ILO assumed leadership on the output “Increased accessibility of financial and non-financial services to economically disadvantaged women”. The output attempts to address the most critical gaps and concern areas identified with regard to economic empowerment of women. Economic empowerment is expected not only to directly improve the livelihoods of women, but also critically contribute to improving the overall position of women in their day-to-day life, including the realization of their rights. The principal outputs of this outcome focus on: Strengthening the capacity of institutions providing financial and non-financial services to support women’s economic empowerment; providing accessible and affordable financial services to aspiring women entrepreneurs; enhance competitiveness and profitability of female-owned businesses. The joint programme will be implemented in close collaboration with governmental sectoral bureaus as well as other institutions providing financial and non-financial services to women. It will benefit from the existing experiences of the various interventions and initiatives being undertaken by different institutions and partners. While most interventions provide direct support (through training services, availing credits, etc.) a few activities are indirect by nature in that they are designed to strengthen the institutions which play a mediating role. A specific focus across all the different related activities will be to support to economically and socially disadvantaged women.
Development of Sustainable Tourism in Emerging Destinations in Viet Nam This “Sustainable Tourism in Emerging Destinations” project demonstrates the joint-efforts of the ILO, UNESCO, and the Vietnamese government to bridge the development gaps between the tourism hubs and the rural interior areas in Quang Nam and Thua Thien-Hue provinces. The project will be implemented under full guidance from the Hanoi Core Statement principles and it is integral part of the One UN plan result area for pro-poor employment generation. The project will also be implemented in the broader spirit of the Paris Aid Effectiveness Declaration. It specifically identifies and builds on synergies between the One UN programme and bilateral programs. The project significantly contributes to address the development issues identified in the problem analysis part through the following strategies: ¿ Supporting human resource development for tourism sector This project will constructively contribute to test these new approaches in the sector and help reflect what needs to be revised or changed to adapt to each situation. All the lessons learnt and experiences from piloting will be documented and up streamed and incorporated in the development process of the national and provincial strategies, policies and legal frameworks. ¿ Emphasizing the role of local culture/heritage in sustainable tourism development This project, by promoting local cultural resources for tourism development, will identify, implement and evaluate concrete ways to integrate culture in sustainable development. This integration will on the one hand help to improve the living standards of the vulnerable and disadvantaged communities living in remote areas. It will at the same time contribute to safeguard local cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy and benefit from. ¿ Raising awareness and/or increasing access to employment opportunities for local women Within the project framework, it is expected to identify local households, especially women, that are willing to participate in the local tourism promotion programs/action plan, such as homestays, community-based tourism, cultural tourism based on the local festival and other cultural practices. It is essential for the local governments and other involved entities to conduct public awareness raising and need assessment among the local households after receiving training from the project.

UN Green Jobs Programme: Enhancing competitiveness and sustainable business among MMEs in the building construction industry (phase II) The Zambia Green Jobs Programme is based on a Human (and Environment) Rights-based approach to improved livelihoods through Private Sector Development. It seeks to unlock the job creation potential of the rapidly growing building construction sector in Zambia and has a competitive focus on the value chain for green building goods and services, from local production of environmentally friendly building materials through to more energy efficient building design. The Programme intends to create at least 5,000 decent green jobs particularly for young people, improve the quality of at least 2,000 jobs in MSMEs which in turn will improve the incomes and livelihoods of at least 8,000 households that depend on the building construction sector. At the same time, the UN Green Jobs Programme will promote better adherence to occupational safety and health regulations as well as access to better managed and more gender equitable basic social security benefits to motivate and enhance employee productivity. The programme will make a direct contribution to the conservation and improvement of environmental quality in Zambia, measured in terms of the number of newly erected buildings or retrofitted existing homes utilizing green building materials including sustainably produced timber as well as a comparative reduction in water and energy utility bills during occupation. The Programme forms part of the UN response through the United Nations Development and Assistance Framework, in line with the aspirations of Zambians as a self-starter country for “Delivering as One”.

Promote Civic, social & economic participation of disadvantaged youth in Kurdistan The KRG 2020 vision set four strategic pillars, these are :People,infrastructure,economy and governance.The –Programme will contribute to two priority areas,i.e. people and economy as it empowers the Kurdistan youth socially and economically and support the development of the private sector through provision of skilled labour force. Also the Kurdistan Regional Development Strategy indicated the unemployment phenomena among the adult in Kurdistan as the most serious concerns of the regional government. It also refer to high rate of unemployment among the youth .The disadvantaged youth ( un-educated, un-skilled and youth with disabilities) face more difficulties in securing decent jobs which creates serious problems in the local communities especially most of the dis-advantaged youth are not active in their communities because they do not have the right skills in community leadership and civic engagement. The project is addressing the above mentioned issues,i.e the high rate of unemployment among the dis-advantaged youth and their weak participation in the social and political lives of their local communities through equipping them with market oriented technical skills, business skills and employment services to empower them economically in addition to develop their life skills and community leadership to strengthen their community en-gagement. The Programme will build on the government plans through introducing new programmes to enhance the social and economical participation of the dis-advantaged young girls and boys.ILO and UNFPA will support the Ministry Of Labour and Social Affairs(MOLSA) to lead the intervention to achieve the above goals with the support of ILO and UNFPA in addition to Ministry Of Culture and Youth(MOCY) and local NGOs. The Joint Program pursues the individual, economic and social empowerment of the most vulnerable/dis-advantaged youth in Kurdistan three governorates,Erbil,Soulymania and Duhok. The rationale behind this ap-proach is that through the further development of vocational and business skills, and where relevant, civic en-gagement and life skills training, disadvantaged youth will be empowered to take part actively in the labour market through entrepreneurship or job placement. In this way, they improve in a meaningful way their own ability to provide for their families, are empowered to make independent choices, and increase their social standing as participants in the market and as role models for their communities.

Fortalecimiento de los espacios institucionales de diálogo social y la participación tripartita de los actores sociales a nivel departamental en Colombia En el marco de este proyecto, el Ministerio de Trabajo ha solicitado a la OIT hacer un énfasis en el apoyo que pueda brindarse para fortalecer el diálogo social en los departamentos que muestran una situación de rezago, estos son: Córdoba, Nariño, Quindío, San Andrés-Providencia y Tolima; para luego ser extendidos a los departamentos de Boyacá, Bolívar, Caldas, La Guajira, Valle del Cauca, Caquetá, Risaralda y Huila. Uno de los problemas más recurrentes que se han encontrado en los planes de acción de las Subcomisiones Departamentales en el 2011-2013, ha sido la existencia de conflictos laborales, cuyo desarrollo muchas veces dificulta avanzar en la construcción de acuerdos en otros temas que son prioritarios. Si bien las Subcomisiones Departamentales tienen, conforme a la Ley 278, competencia para incidir en la solución de dichos conflictos, no todas la hacen y las que sí, carecen muchas veces de herramientas y capacidad técnica para incidir de manera más efectiva. En atención a ello, el Ministerio de Trabajo ha solicitado a la OIT elaborar una propuesta de estrategia para mejorar la intervención de las Subcomisiones Departamentales y construir, a través del diálogo social, unas buenas relaciones laborales. Asimismo, y teniendo en cuenta a los sectores prioritarios dentro de las relaciones laborales en Colombia y el impacto de las condiciones de las relaciones laborales en la economía nacional, el Ministerio de Trabajo pidió a la OIT compilar información que pudiese orientar el diseño de estrategias diferenciadas de abordaje para los sectores de hidrocarburos y minería, ya que ambos forman parte del Acuerdo firmado por el gobierno de Colombia con los Estados Unidos y están siendo intervenidos desde otro proyecto de cooperación técnica de OIT, y transporte, teniendo en cuenta el enorme rezago que se tiene en materia de formalización en ese sector.
