Emergency Nutrition Response for Drought Affected Persons in Afanbo, Millie, Megale and Konbe woredas, Afar Regional State. The Ethiopia National Disaster Risk Management Commission announced that 8.5 million people will need emergency food assistance from July to December 2017 (June 2017 HRD). Food security prospects in Afar region are expected to deteriorate for the next six months, significantly impacting the health and nutrition of vulnerable people - particularly children under five and pregnant and lactating women. 

This proposed project aims to strengthen the existing capacity of Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) integrated with Infant Young Child Feeding Practice in Emergencies (IYCF-E). A total of 5,174 children under five children and PLW with acute malnutrition will benefit through 48 TSFP sites, 48 OTPs and 8 SCs in the four target woredas.

Plan International Ethiopia (PIE) has extensive experience working with protection and gender issues in emergencies, and will effectively address related concerns throughout the project. PIE will disaggregate all targets/indicators by age and sex, and appropriate measures will be taken to ensure equal participation and benefit of girls, boys, men and women. Child protection will also be a core value, and all training activities will include a module addressing sexual and gender based violence, child labor, child marriage and separation. 
This project has been designed with government stakeholders, and will be implemented within the existing local structures to ensure sustainability, alignment and compliance with the national strategic response plan. Building the capacity of communities and government partners is a key component. 

PIE’s Country Office and Afar project coordination office will be responsible for management and coordination, with technical support as needed from PIE’s Emergency Team. PIE already employs 1 emergency response project coordinator, 2 CMAM coordinators, 2 OTP nurse, 2 IYCF nurse, 2 TSFP nurse, 4 measurers and support staff in the target areas.

ILO-PTEA Collaboration for Labour laws Compliance in Textile The project will assist the workers and employers of selected target factories to work together to design and implement a workplace improvement plan, with the aim of achieving improvements in working conditions and productivity. This will be done through workplace cooperation i.e. social dialogue, building on existing bipartite structures at the workplace where they already exist. At the initial stage, the participating companies will create a workplace cooperation structure, i.e. the workplace improvement committee (WIC). The composition of WIC will be (i) the relevant managers; (ii) trade union representatives where the factory has union membership; and (iii) workers’ representatives, where they are elected by the workers. The WIC shall undertake an initial assessment of the issues that require improvement with regards to an array of labour laws, safety and health, and productivity matters. National Labour Laws compliance gaps and areas of improvement will be identified. Following this initial assessment, workplace improvement plan (WIP) will be designed for each participating company, with clear indicators of progress to measure improvement. A gender mainstreaming strategy within the context of the overall project goal will be developed. The concerns and needs of women workers’ will be ensured through training courses in proportion to their number in factories; issues such as sexual harassment, gender equality and discrimination would be part of training curricula; women will be part of workplace improvement committees; and will support factories in developing gender inclusive policies. In year-1, Minimum of 10 textile factories would be included in the programme, followed by 15 in year-2, 20 in year-3 and it will be gradually increased with every year to cover all member factories of PTEA. The number of targeted factories can be increased depending on the scope of work, recruitment of monitors and the baseline gap assessment.

Worker rights in globalising economies: assessment of labour provisions in trade and investment arrangements The current project examines the extent to which existing international economic governance arrangements are effective in influencing labour standards, working conditions, and the overall policy environment through which companies operate when engaged in international trade. In addition, the project examines the role of the ILO in improving the coherence between these arrangements and its labour standards and follow-up mechanisms. Outcome 1: Labour provisions in trade and investment arrangements are better understood, and promoted by governments, trade unions and employer representatives. 1. Thematic research and country level case studies Both the thematic papers and country case studies will reflect innovative approaches with regard to the design of labour provisions in developed and emerging economies and formulate recommendations for each of the stakeholders involved to give guidance to the current policy debate. a. Thematic research will be focused on examining the investment dimension of economic governance arrangements and the effectiveness with regard to implementation mechanisms. b. Country case studies will focus on the effectiveness of various approaches to labour provisions. 2. Support to global level tripartite Advisory Committee The on-going project is currently supported by a tripartite Advisory Committee that is composed of labour and trade experts, policy makers and practitioners that possess both a technical and policy expertise on trade and labour market issues from different geographic regions. The aim of the Committee is to provide advice in terms of research priorities, notably as regards i) the development of the conceptual framework; ii) selection of case studies; iii) identification of key partners; and iv) help the organisation of seminars to advance knowledge in this area and promote dissemination of the findings. Funding partners are included as members of the Committee. Outcome 2: Knowledge sharing to improve policy coherence at the national, regional and multilateral level. Funding will contribute to the peer review of research results by academics, international organizations, the ILO offices and its constituency in each of the regions. The main objective is to enhance the overall parallelism between the economic and social dimension of globalization. Therefore, the involvement of international organizations, such as UNCTAD and ECLAC is an essential element of the project. Particular attention is paid to strengthening policy coherence among international organizations and enhancing the institutional capacity of governments and the social partners to participate in debate and follow-up of these agreements.
Human Security Initiative in the Most Neglected Communities with the Integration of Efforts by the UN Country Team in Liberia. The project is a joint UNCT initiative, dealing with the multisectoral human insecurities in the most neglected counties of southeastern Liberia. The project provides concrete and sustainable benefits to the most marginalized groups of people (youth, women and children) in the target counties, who are threatened by high level of food insecurity, lack of basic social services such as water and sanitation and child protection, high rate of HIV/AIDS and SGBV, and highest level of poverty incidence. While comprehensively implementing top-down measures such as improving local governance and social cohesion of the four counties, as well as bottom-up measures through empowering the target people by various means, the project puts emphasis on local ownership and encourage participation from the stakeholders including local government officials, civil society groups, CBOs and NGOs. Throughout the project implementation, special attention will be given not only to the disabilities (as required by the Guidelines) but also to women, children, and youth, as they are the most neglected but critical groups of beneficiaries. In addition, due to the steady return to stability following the 2010 Ivorian refugee crisis, this pilot initiative is programmed also as one of the best tools to bridge the gaps between emergency assistance and medium- and longer-term development. In order to mitigate the potential of deterioration of the situation of human insecurities in the already most vulnerable and neglected region of Liberia, the people-centered, integrated, comprehensive and prevention oriented approach like this initiative is required to meet the multisectoral demands of their human security. Another strong rationale for funding from the UNTFHS is the fact that this type of holistic intervention is currently neglected by existing international development assistance to the southeastern region of Liberia without any funding mechanism available to support such an inter-agency cooperation. The value added of this inter-agency project under one umbrella maximizes synergies and ensures the significant benefit of this mechanism. In this regard, since the UNCT values the approach of human security concept for dealing with the current situation of southeastern Liberia, all the participating agencies will be committed to promote and showcase, to wider audience within and beyond the country of Liberia, the outcomes of this pilot initiative as a model human security project.
