Global Product Green Jobs - Norway PCA 2012-13 Public awareness around Rio+20 has generated questions about the green economy and its potential to provide sufficient opportunities for productive and decent employment. More and more countries understand the strong linkages between sustainable development and the need to create decent work with a reduced impact on the environment – in short green jobs. The rationale and direction of policies and programmes for green jobs are increasingly recognized and underlined by international organizations and national stakeholders. However, the knowledge and tools to shape and implement policies and to build the domestic capacity for continuous green jobs support are just beginning to emerge. Therefore, there exists an urgent need to further build on and share practical knowledge and tools for policy dialogue and policy formulation. The ILO project “Global Product Green Jobs” will focus on knowledge generation and knowledge sharing regarding the employment aspects of transitions to the green economy. Project activities will be implemented at global and national level: I. At global level, the project will respond to the growing demand for knowledge and technical support through the development of knowledge products and practical tools for green jobs policies. A knowledge sharing strategy will help to make this knowledge accessible to constituents with the objective to strengthen their capacity for articulating the decent work implications of national sustainable development strategies. The knowledge sharing strategy will include the organization of workshops and the creation of network building will build new linkages among constituents and allow them to create new forms of cooperation. II. At national level, awareness raising, capacity building and green jobs assessments will build the ground for the design of national strategies that focus on the creation of decent work for women and men in green or greened economic sectors. The project will implement activities in two countries, Brazil and Kenya. Both countries have shown increased interest in formulating national policies for the creation of green jobs. Past ILO activities in both countries have achieved substantive impact. The project aims to build on these impacts and expand them. The intended impact of the project is to benefit job seekers and workers by creating gainful and productive job opportunities. Enterprises, esp. SMEs, will be taking advantage of new business opportunities in green markets and will be adopting green business practices in their operations (greening-up and greening-down the value chain). Special emphasis will be given to the challenge to overcome skills shortages for green jobs. The two level project strategy (national – international) aims to strengthen the ability of national stakeholders to design strategies for decent work in prioritized sectors/areas and to expand their policy initiatives for green jobs to other sectors/areas, seeking coherence and collective efficiencies among ministries and social partners.

Improvement of agriculture production through strengthening of agricultural extension services and increased technical inputs (WIND) The Project will become the continuation of the 2010 project aimed at improvement of agricultural production implemented under the Expanded Delivering As One Funding Window (DAO). The One UN Programme in Kyrgyzstan focuses on six thematic areas: (1) Social services, (2) Food security, (3) Agriculture, (4) Energy, (5) Environment, (6) Risk Management. The Project will address sectoral specificities of the agricultural production and use best practices to limit job losses and support job creation stimulating sustained economic activity. Capacities of the local communities and the local authorities in the remote low-growth areas will be developed to increase food security and alleviate poverty through better agricultural production practices and new jobs creation. The project is an integral part of UNDP Poverty Reduction Programme and will be built on already existing infrastructure and capacities available in the provinces to assist the effective and efficient implementation of the Project’s outputs.
Better Work Vietnam: Union Capacity Development The project to come will build upon the foundation laid by preceding and ongoing ILO projects to promote effective social dialogue and sound industrial relations in which the promising commitment by all levels of unions have been secured. The project will address the needs of multi-level unions in order for them to better support BWV programme in its implementation and thereby to better support improvement of labour compliance in the garment industry in Vietnam. BWV programme aims to establish harmonious and functioning bipartite cooperation in export oriented enterprises in the garment sector. To that end, PICC union members will particularly need capacity-building training in order for social dialogue to be effective and sustainable. The project aims to train 1500 PICC union representatives in 300 enterprises. At the completion of training trade union PICC members will have been equipped with a good understanding of their responsibilities and problem-solving capacity in participating in Better Work improvement process; unions at different levels will have acquired knowledge about and exposure too, a range of union and representation issues including different and best practice approaches to negotiation skills, consultation/communication, recruitment/organising, dispute settlement and collective bargaining; the roughly 15 EAs will have acquired more skills and professionalism in facilitating the establishment of PICC in participating factories, and subsequently in guiding both managers and worker members on PICCs to fulfil their respective roles and responsibilities.
HIV Service provision for vulnerable youth in the Informal Sector communities in Ghana Executive Summary UBRAF funded project Ghana on HIV and AIDS Considerable achievements have been made in HIV prevention in and through the world of work, including in the informal economy, ranging from targeting most-at-risk populations, increased number of persons undergoing voluntary testing and counselling and condom distribution. Implementation efforts have been supported by development partners, as well as by enterprises in the private sector. However, gaps still remain particularly among those most vulnerable populations that because of working or living conditions may be less resilient to HIV or may have less access to relevant health and social services. A gap analysis conducted in 2008 1 identified the following vulnerable young populations: • Young migrant workers from rural areas; • Young men and women apprentices and artisans; • Young men and women workers in the indigenous hospitality industry (drinking bars and “chop” bars); and • Young men and women informal workers in high-risk geographical areas (areas where large companies, mines and factories are located). This project will contribute to a reduction of HIV infections among young women and men workers in selected informal settings through interventions combining non-discriminatory access to services and empowerment programmes. Specific outcomes • 5,000 young men and women workers in the informal economy have access to HIV services and programmes, in identified markets garages and bus stations. • 2,500 young men and women workers report a change in behavior (in one of the areas assessed by the Knowledge, Attitudes, Behaviour and Practices Surveys (KABP) to be undertaken in the informal economy reached by empowerment programmes
Tripartite Action to Protect Migrants within and from the GMS from Labour Exploitation (TRIANGLE) The aim of this five-year project is to reduce the exploitation of labour migrants in the Greater Mekong Sub-region and Malaysia by contributing to the development of legal, safe and orderly recruitment channels and improved labour protection mechanisms.

The project will primarily target women and men migrants working in domestic work, manufacturing, construction, plantations, fishing and seafood processing. The project will also offer better protection to those in the entertainment industry. Direct recipients will be government officials; employers' organizations; recruitment agencies; workers' organizations; and civil society organizations with the ultimate beneficiaries being migrant men, women and children.
Towards Achieving the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour as Priority (ACHIEVE) Child labour remains a persistent problem in Nepal. Although the national estimates show that child labour is decreasing in Nepal with an average of 1,00,000 every year, Nepal still has 1.6 million children as child labourers out of which 621,000 children are working in the worst forms of child labour. The Child Labour Phase I Project funded by the Embassy of Denmark on ‘Support to the Implementation of Nepal’s National Master Plan on the Elimination of Child Labour in Nepal”(August 2011-May 2013) focused on developing national level capacities of the Government and the social partners and improving the policy environment. But for greater impact, the efforts initiated by the Phase I of the Project need to be scaled up and sustained. It is in view of the challenges and the need to promote the child labour issues and concerns, the ACHIEVE Project supported by the Embassy of Demark, is designed at a request of the Ministry of Labour and Employment (MoLE) and the social partners. The three year Project aims to establish collaboration and partnerships with a wide range of governmental and non-governmental agencies, in particular the MoLE and social partners. The work with the ILO Constituents and the relevant stakeholders will result in two major outcomes; i) Child labour free communities created through replicable and scalable models, and ii) Policy environment and institutional capacities strengthened at the central and district levels and across a wide range of institutions that can contribute towards child labour elimination.
Re-valuing women’s employment: Implementing equal pay for work of equal value in Jordan The project aims at the effective implementation of the principle of equal pay for work of equal value in Jordan. It will adopt a three-pronged strategy: 1) lobbying for the amendment of national legislation in line with ILO Convention No. 100; 2) developing the capacity of ILO constituents in Jordan to undertake gender-neutral job evaluations, and 3) raising awareness and sensitizing constituents, authorities and the general public on pay equity issues. The first component of the strategy includes the dissemination of the recommendations emanating from a policy-oriented legal review with a view to identifying steps for realizing the necessary legislative changes. The second component comprises training for selected constituents on how to undertake gender-neutral job evaluation with the objective of subsequently piloting it in the private education sector. The third component involves disseminating information and raising awareness on pay equity issues through a Media and Advocacy Sub-committee within the National Steering Committee on Pay Equity (NSCPE).
