Partnership Jobs and Education: Exploration phase This visionary partnership involving ILO, UNICEF, UNHCR, IFC and the Worldbank assists the most vulnerable populations, including those forcibly displaced from their homes and countries and host communities which face ever growing challenges following the influx of refugees. It focuses on the creation of jobs and livelihoods so that refugees can contribute to their new communities and prepare for a possible return to their countries of origin once that becomes possible. The idea is also to strengthen the resilience of those countries and communities that continue to generously offer their support to refugees. The new programme will help scale-up and transform the global response to large-scale displacement, linking humanitarian work with sustainable development support. The ILO will contribute to it with its expertise on jobs and livelihoods for refugees that has been showcased already in countries like Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. The programme will operate in Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya as well as other countries in the Middle East and Africa. Besides job creation, programme activities will focus on skills development, prevention of child labour, strengthening of public employment services and social protection, as well as partnerships with the private sector.
SKILL-UP Global (Upgrading Skills for the changing world of work) The main planned outputs of the partnership are: Support to decent work country programmes, with a focus on low- and lower-middle income countries and countries in situations of fragility; and technical assistance to ILO constituents and other relevant partners on building skills systems for trade and private sector development.

Programme d'Appui à la Promotion de l'Emploi et à la Réduction de la Pauvreté (APERP III)
Inclusive Growth, Social Protection and Jobs (Inception phase) (IGSPJ Irish Aid/ILO)-Tanzania Component IGSPJI The majority of poor and vulnerable people in Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique as well as Tanzania and several other sub-Saharan countries produce agricultural goods for household consumption and to sell on the markets. However, making a decent living from this production of agricultural goods can be difficult, if not impossible. Off-farm employment and social protection therefore have critical roles to play in providing adequate income to the poor and vulnerable. In these countries the majority of the population in rural and peri-urban areas still have no/little access to potable water, basic sanitation and health services, schools as well as communication and transport. As a result they suffer from social and economic exclusion. Women, youth, landless, children, and people with disabilities are the most affected and comprise a large portion of the poor in the three countries. The ILO estimates that globally 73 per cent of the world’s population is lacking adequate social protection. In Malawi, 51 per cent of the population lives below the national poverty line and 73 per cent below the international poverty line of US$1.25 per day. In Mozambique and Zambia, similarly, 50 and 60 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line respectively. Over 70 per cent of the population is excluded from adequate social protection in these countries. By providing poorer households with an income, social protection instruments and basic access for physical infrastructure, including access to markets, will enable people to obtain better prices and incomes and increase their productive investments notably in health and education. In addition, the ILO, over the last four decades, advocated for employment intensive investment approaches in job-rich sectors and has developed technical and managerial tools for effective adaption and rollout of these approaches including Employment Impact Assessment (EmpIA) tool, Integrated Rural Accessibility Planning (IRAP), Technical and Managerial guidelines (for programme managers, supervisory staff and local enterprises), Productivity norms for labour-based construction, Trainer's toolbox of training techniques, Rapid assessment of poverty impacts (RAPI) as well as the biggest depository/database for Innovative EI technology and works method. This programme will directly benefit poor and vulnerable communities in Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania and Viet Nam.
Joint ILO-EU project to improve knowledge base and safety and health in global supply chains to support G20 work on safer workplaces This Project is proposing to undertake pioneering work on OSH improvements in supply chains which requires in-depth understanding of the situation in a given context. This explains the heavy investment on developing a solid conceptual framework for investigation and gaining greater clarity regarding potential operational implications. To this end, the ILO proposes to work with a reputed international research partner through a sub-contracting arrangement in order to do background research, define the methodology and carry out the analytical work. Also, three case studies will be commissioned in order to identify the main issues and underpinning causes and processes: one case study per country, covering each one sector. A high-level meeting will be convened in Geneva or Brussels which will bring together G20 members as well as other relevant partners at international level to discuss the findings of the case studies.
Actuarial consultancy and training in Tanzania The objective of the project is to assess the long-term viability and financial sustainability of the NSSF. The project will also focus on the strengthening of internal actuarial capacities of the NSSF for a more important implication of its personnel in the production of future actuarial valuations of the scheme. The Immediate objectives are: – to deliver two actuarial valuations of the schemes administered by the NSSF, as of 30 June 2013 and as of 30 June 2016, and – to build up national capacities in the field of social security financial, actuarial and statistical studies. The following outputs are proposed: 1. An ILO technical report on the actuarial valuation of the NSSF as of 30 June 2013. 2. A tailor-made training programme in social security statistics and actuarial analysis for the staff of the NSSF on the basis of the ILO actuarial model developed specifically for the NSSF. This output will include the delivery of a technical report on the review of the Actuarial Department in the NSSF, including an action plan and guidance for strengthening the education and formation of its actuarial staff. 3. An ILO technical report on the actuarial valuation of the NSSF as of 30 June 2016.
ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT FOR YEMENI YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN AT RISK This project therefore aims to restore and improve livelihoods, to create productive and decent emergency employment to increase income generation through sustainable enterprise development and by improving the employability of vulnerable groups. The proposed intervention, will empower youth at risk, including at least 30% of women, and will contribute to the improved security by creating sustainable and alternative livelihood opportunities for youth at risk of joining armed groups and violent extremism. The project will also ensure that communities from various factions and groups are to the extent possible involved in joint activities in order to create space for reconciliation. Last, the project will always be clear in its targeting mechanisms for beneficiaries, and will put in place a complaint mechanism so that communities have the necessary trust in its fair implementation .
Eliminating child labour and forced labour in the garment value chain – an integrated approach The overall objective is to promote compliance with core ILO labour standards in the garment value chain with a focus on Decent Work in cotton production. In particular, to enhance and improve the EU contribution to the eradication of child labour and forced labour in the garment value chain in target producing countries through enhanced national legislation and policies and addressing the basic needs and rights of children engaged or at risk of child labour, and of victims of forced labour, adopting an integrated area based approach that is embedded in a value chain approach including cooperation with local industry and international buyers.
Vision Zero Fund Secretariat The objective of the Fund is to work towards the vision of zero fatal and severe work-related injuries and diseases. The Funds therefore aims to reduce the number of fatal and severe accidents and occupational diseases in developing countries by improving occupational safety and health practices and conditions in sectors that link to global supply chains. To achieve work place accident reduction, the Fund has two interrelated, intermediate objectives informing the Fund’s approach: First, the Fund’s approach is to work towards structural improvements in safety and health practices at the work place. Structural improvements are only possible if all relevant stakeholders join in the efforts: businesses, governments, social partners and NGOs. Otherwise, real progress will be difficult. A pre-condition for the Fund to operate in a country will therefore be the joint public-private commitment of businesses, government, the social partners and other relevant stakeholders, documented by the presence or adoption of a tri-partite or multi-partite prevention action plan or similar document. The action-plan should specify the activity/activities envisaged and the time-frame for implementation. Second, and closely interrelated, the Fund aims to strengthen capacity in both public and private spheres. Public compliance activities and private practices at the sector and company-level are interdependent. Prevention needs the effective interplay of both public and private actors. In this regard, the Fund welcomes existing related prevention activities in either the public sphere and/or private sphere at the sector and company-level. Adding value, the Fund’s approach on public-private efforts should allow systematic work at either or both the public and the private sector specifically needed.
ONE ILO Apparel and Textile Programme Ethiopia This intervention is a comprehensive and coordinated ILO response to a need expressed by the Ethiopian constituents and other key industry stakeholders to advance decent work and inclusive industrialization in key priority sectors identi-fied in the Second Ethiopian Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II). A commitment to the textile and garment sector is part of Ethiopia’s broad Industrial Development Strategic Plan (2013-2025) to propel the country to middle-income status over the next decade. There are significant challenges for Ethiopia to overcome as they strive to achieve this plan. Productivity in the sector is low, and low productivity is often associated with low wages and poor working conditions making the sector less desira-ble for workers. High labour turn-over rates and absentee rates perpetuate and compound these challenges. The support-ing value chains are also challenged by low productivity and decent work deficits. The intervention will be implemented in two five-year phases. The first phase will focus on the textile and apparel sector. In the second phase, the ILO’s support will be expanded further down the supply chain to include cotton production and processing. The intention is to also develop and refine intervention models that could be replicated in other sectors such as construction and agriculture to potentially also move into these sectors in phase two. In addition, the intervention will maintain close links to ILO’s ongoing support efforts to the implementation of the government’s Jobs Compact which will expand employment opportunities to refugees, including in identified industrial sectors, among them textile and ap-parel. The intervention will contribute to Outcome 1, 4 and 7 of the ILO’s 2018-19 Programme and Budget and to the Decent Work Country Programme outcomes ETH127 and ETH176.
ARISE II: Eliminating Child Labour in Tobacco growing Communities in Malawi 2015-2018 Executive summary ARISE II Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia This addendum extends the partnership between JT International SA and the ILO for a further 4 years, until 31 December 2018, to cover additional activities under the global component of the project, as well as under country specific actions in Brazil, Malawi, Zambia and Tanzania. The project title is amended to include “ARISE II: Eliminating Child Labour in Tobacco growing Communities in Brazil, Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia”. JTI will provide a new contribution of US$4’773’917 for the period 2015-2018. The partnership focuses on advancing the agenda to effectively eliminate child labour in farming communities from which JTI sources tobacco. It will draw on the lesson learned in the first phase to consolidate the gains achieved and pursue opportunities to increase the scope and impact of the PPP. A global component to the strategy, the Global Training Programme (GTP) will support JTI’s efforts to promote sustainability in its supply chain, particularly the Agricultural Labour Practices (ALP) and Know Your Grower (KYG) programmes, through risk assessments and improvements in occupational safety and health (OSH). The proposed project will contribute to Outcome 16 of the ILO’s Programme and Budget, “Child labour is elimininated, with priority given to its worst forms”, by reducing the incidence of child labour in target countries and communities; strengthening capacity of ILO constituents, including through policy development and improved delivery of social services, to address the problem; and strengthening the capacity of JTI to prevent, identify, mitigate and remediate child labour in its supply chain. This is in support of the Decent Work Country Programmes of Brazil, Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia and related Country Programme Outcomes (BRA 126, MWI 103, TZA 125, TZA 126, ZMB 176).
Improving Labour Market Integration of Syrian Refugees The overall objective of the project is to enhance the livelihoods and social cohesion of Syrian refugees and host communities in Turkey by promoting labour market integration and inclusive economic growth underpinned by decent work principles. Objective 1: Increase the availability of a skilled, competent and productive labour supply to facilitate access to decent work for Syrian refugees and Turkish host communities. Objective 2: Support an enabling environment for business development and economic growth in identified sectors and geographic locations to address job creation and stimulate entrepreneurship opportunities for Syrian refugees and Turkish host communities. Objective 3: Provide support to strengthen labour market governance institutions and mechanisms to assist Turkey in implementing inclusive development strategies.
ACCESO A EMPLEO DIGNO PARA PERSONAS CON DISCAPACIDAD EN EL PERÚ In Peru, the recent implementation of public interventions has shown that local governments have a strong potential to fight prejudices and misconceptions about the capabilities of persons with disabilities. When provided with sufficient technical training and support, and assuring public funding is available, they can play a key role matching supply and demand for employment of people with disabilities. The Joint Program develops two new tools of public policies to facilitate the full involvement of municipalities: (i) A gender-sensitive management model for local governments to promote and enable access to employment for persons with disabilities (Tool Box); and, (ii) A Results-Oriented Budgetary Program (ROBP) to promote gender-sensitive employment for persons with disabilities. By counting with these tools, local governments will have both new programmatic and a financial tool to comply with current legislation, while setting the basis for scaling-up interventions in this area.
Better protection of the labour rights of indigenous domestic workers In 2010 Guatemala came 133th out of 186 in the HDI, with wide variations within the country, and indigenous peoples and rural areas occupying the lowest positions. Women continue to work mainly in paid and unpaid care activities and domestic service. Twelve per cent of economically active female are domestic workers, 80% indigenous women. Discrimination based on gender and ethnicity are seen as root causes for exploitation of women domestic workers and their exclusion from labour and social protection. Indigenous women and those in rural areas, meanwhile, have less access to land, credit and technology. The aim of this intervention is to improve living and working conditions of these female indigenous workers, by promoting changes in legislation and strengthening the organization of domestic workers at the national level to enable them to defend their right to decent work.
Project of support to the implementation of the National Action Plan against child labour in Tunisia (NAP-TN) 2015-2020 The overall objective of the project is to support the Government of Tunisia and key stakeholders to implement the NAP-TN against child labour, through building the capacity of the Ministry of Social Affairs (MSA), workers’ organizations (the Tunisian General Labour Union, UGTT) and employers’ organizations (Tunisian Union of Industry, Trade and Handicrafts, UTICA, and Tunisian Union of Agriculture and Fishery, UTAP), and strengthening collaboration with key stakeholders including the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Women, Family and Children, the Ministry of Vocational Training and Employment, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Justice as well as potentially other Ministries (such as the Ministry of Health, the National Institute of Statistics, the Ministry of Youth and Sports and/or the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources and Fisheries), and development partners. Within this, pending further consultations with the stakeholders, linkages will be established to the issue of forced labour, by providing technical assistance on trafficking issues. The project will in particular provide technical assistance to the Government, employers’ and workers’ organisations and other key stakeholders to implement activities to achieve the following priorities laid out in the NAP-TN: - Priority 1 (objectives 1 and 2): Strengthening and harmonizing legislative and institutional frameworks to combat child labour; - Priority 2 (objective 1): Improving the knowledge base on child labour - Priority 3 (objective 3): Strengthening protection and prevention mechanisms to combat child labour. Under this priority, this project will mainly contribute to objective 3, which focuses on the child labour monitoring system. - Priority 4 (objective 1): Strengthening technical and operational capacities of relevant stakeholders to combat child labour - Priority 5 (objectives 1 and 2): Strengthening the role of education and vocational training to combat child labour - Priority 6 (objective 1): Enhancing sensitization and social mobilization to combat child labour. The project activities will be coordinated nationally by the Tripartite Steering Committee of the National Action Plan for the fight against child labour in Tunisia, composed of fifteen members representing the Government, social partners and civil society.
Employment intensive programmes for Jordanians and Syrian refugees This project will support the Government of Jordan in creating immediate jobs through employment intensive programmes in Irbid and Mafraq, for both Syrian women and men refugees and host communities through: construction and maintenance of schools, support to local farmers (construction of water cisterns, terracing of slopes), construction and maintenance of agricultural feeder roads. These employment intensive programmes differ from various initiatives of cash for work that have been implemented so far in Jordan due to (a) their special focus on decent working conditions, including occupational safety and health, no child labour, and equal pay for work of equal value, (b) safeguards they offer for environmental protection, (c) their graduating mechanisms that allow participating workers to graduate out of the programme to sustainable livelihood, and (d) the creation or increase of asset value in public, agricultural and environmental infrastructure. The programme will apply a gender sensitive programming approach with participation of women at all levels of design, implementation and evaluation as well as targeted activities promoting the participation of women in its activities, and equality of treatment at the worksites.
Technical support on social protection in Cameroon The aim of this project is to establish a national social protection floor. Support will be provided to the tripartite constituents for the development and application of policies and tools that improve the quality and coverage of social protection with a focus on universal health coverage. Particular emphasis will be placed on providing access to health care for persons living with HIV/AIDS and on extending social protection to vulnerable groups such as workers in the informal economy, the rural sector, and youth. Interventions include the reinforcement of national tripartite dialogue on social protection matters and capacity building of the tripartite constituents in areas such as targeting of social protection services, non-discrimination, roles of employers’ and workers’ organizations, gender equality, and institutional and legal frameworks. The ratification of the Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1952 (No. 102) and the promotion of the Social Protection Floors Recommendation, 2012 (No. 202) will also be pursued. Work under this project will contribute to the achievement of sustainable development, specifically SDGs 1, 3, 5 and 10 and will be undertaken in partnership with UNAIDS, UNICEF, WHO, UNDP and the World Bank.
Support GSP+ beneficiary countries to effectively implement ILS and comply with reporting obligations. Cabo Verde The project supports the application of ILO fundamental Conventions and human rights in Cabo Verde with a focus on forced labour, child labour, and equal remuneration between men and women. It also aims at improving compliance with standards-related obligations concerning the eight fundamental ILO conventions. Particular attention is given to inter-institutional coordination; capacity building; technical assistance for fulfilling reporting obligations; and dialogue facilitation between tripartite constituents (trade unions, employers organizations and the Government). The involvement of other stakeholders, such as parliamentarians, judges, legal professionals, national human rights institutions and media contributes to maximise results. In order to achieve the project results, activities carried out include awareness-raising initiatives and trainings on the content of selected fundamental ILS, discussions with national stakeholders and relevant UN agencies in the country on legislative changes and other measures to be implemented in light of the supervisory bodies’ comments and strengthening the reporting capacity of tripartite constituents.
