Pathways to formality in Peru The objective of this proposal is to develop an analytical framework to explain pathways towards formalization for both enterprises and employment. Using a panel-structured firm survey for Peru that contains information about various degrees of formalization, the framework would then be tested with actual data and relevant formality characteristics. Depending on data availability, the framework may also be tested in other countries, such as Colombia. The proposal has relation with two main themes identified in the ILO-WBG call for proposals: ¿ How to expand labor demand creation. The ILO has always promoted the idea that it is not any job that is important for development, but decent jobs. While there is a lot of research on job creation, there is less knowledge on processes of formal jobs creation. ¿ The impact of social protection programs. Most formalization programs are associated with an expansion of social protection to informal populations.

El pais, con el apoyo de la OIT, disena y fortalece las estrategias para la extension de la seguridad social y la consolidacion del piso de proteccion social, con enfoque de genero. This project is implemented within the framework of the ILO Flagship Programme on Building Social Protection Floors for All and aims to achieve the following three interrelated objectives. First, to improve the administrative and financial governance of social security, the ILO’s policy and advisory services will focus on the progressive implementation of the technical recommendations arising from ILO actuarial studies, the improvement of the governance of the Occupational Risks Regime, the elaboration of a strategy for the governance of the Health Regime, and setting guidelines for the management of social security. Support will be provided to the Salvadorian Social Security Institute (Instituto Salvadoren~o del Seguro Social) and to the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare with a view to improving the quality and quantity of social security statistics, including through the improvement of administrative records and the processing of strategic indicators. Second, to strengthen policies to facilitate formalization, ILO interventions will support efforts to extend social security coverage, mainly to include self-employment and to expand it to other occupational categories such as domestic and rural work, in line with the priorities of the Government of El Salvador and the provisions of the Transition from the Informal to the Formal Economy Recommendation, 2015 (No. 204). Support will also be provided for the design of a comprehensive insurance strategy, through coordinated efforts between the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare and other entities linked to formalization policies, in cooperation with the social partners. Third, in an effort to create a solid technical basis for the promotion of the social protection floor, the ILO will continue to provide policy and advisory services to the Technical and Planning Secretary of the Presidency in: updating the costing models developed in the past; developing guidelines to improve information on the structure of the care system; and in preparing technical recommendations for the creation of a financial scheme to finance the social protection floor and other national strategies for social protection. This project contributes to the country’s efforts to advance towards the attainment of SDG targets 1.3 (Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable) and 3.8 (Achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all).
Technical support on labour inspection and social dialogue This project targets strengthening institutional capacity of key government structures on labour law compliance, as well as to strengthen capacities of social partners for ensuring the full application of the ratified Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) and Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129). As a result, the project will address institutional and legal needs at the level of national labour law compliance mechanisms, namely the State Labour Service. This will provide the basis for improved capacity of State regulatory institutions to develop action oriented policies that respect labour rights, including occupational safety and health, informal economy, and fundamental labour rights. Support to the Government’s reform of the labour inspection system to ensure effective labour law compliance would include effective operationalization of a new State Labour Service in line with international labour standards. The scope of action of the State Labour Service will be extended to the informal economy. The Capacity of the State Labour Service to work in cooperation with other institutions will be enhanced. A gender sensitive human resources policy and measures to attract and retain qualified staff will be defined and implemented. An operational modality of tripartite dialogue within the labour administration system will also be facilitated through this project. Work under this project will contribute to the achievement of SDG 8.
Strengthening Labour Inspection in Lesotho The project strategy will be premised on technical support for the strengthening of the labour inspection system in Lesotho and developing a set of procedures and policies to guide labour inspectors in line with principles of ILO Convention C No. 150 on labour administration and C No. 81 on Labour Inspection both ratified by Lesotho. ILO will also assist the Ministry of Labour and Employment to strengthen collaboration with the social partners and other government agencies to strengthen labour inspection.

Local Empowerment through Economic Development and Reconciliation Project (LEED+)
Promoting Human Security through sustainable resettlement in Zambia The quest for an effective method to enable the shift from humanitarian interventions to long-term sustainable development for dealing with cases of protracted displacement is long-standing. The Government of Zambia and the United Nations (UN) in Zambia have together developed a Programme of Sustainable Resettlement, with the aim of: i) meeting the high ambitions and standards of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and ii) supporting the local integration of former Angolan and Rwandan refugees in Zambia into new communities in designated resettlement areas. This programme recognizes that successful local integration cannot be instant but must be planned and supported over time. Specifically, the programme recognizes that the following transitions must be managed: • the transition from the status of refugee to that of new permanent resident of Zambia (and possible future Zambian citizenship); • the transition of lead responsibility in Government from the Officer of the Commissioner for Refugees under the Ministry of Home Affairs, to the Department for Resettlement in the Office of the Vice President; • the transition of lead responsibility within the UN in Zambia from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), with a humanitarian response, to a cross-UN approach led by the UN Resident Coordinator and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative, supporting a long-term sustainable development approach; Based on the Government of Zambia’s pledge to locally integrate former Angolan and Rwandan refugees, a 3-year Local Integration strategy (2014-2016) was launched. The continuation of this strategy is the Sustainable Resettlement programme for 2017 to 2021. Based on the foregoing, the vision of the entire resettlement programme is that by 2021, communities living in the Maheba and Mayukwayukwa resettlement schemes are cohesive, productive, sustainable and fully integrated into development at all levels. This Resettlement Programme will also address challenges such as the one in April 2016, in which Zambia experienced a sad consequence of unplanned integration in urban areas, when refugees and migrants who had informally integrated in Lusaka townships for many years, became the subject of attacks on property and persons in a wave of rioting sparked by fears surrounding a series of unresolved ritualistic murders. Forty-eight hours of aggression undid years of informal integration and peaceful coexistence, and over 800 refugees from different countries of origin were relocated from Lusaka back to the two refugee settlements (Maheba and Mayukwayukwa) where they were originally registered. This recent experience highlights the need for actors supporting local integration to make plans that are thoroughly considered, including from a human security perspective and well-coordinated to achieve long-term prosperity.
Promoting gender-responsive workplaces in Egypt Only one in five women of working age are economically active today in Egypt. When at work, women are found disproportionately in vulnerable and/or informal employment. The Government of Egypt and the social partners are committed to closing gender gap in the world of work, including by ensuring a better application of two key international conventions ratified by the country on gender equality at work . The project works with the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI) and most representative trade union federations in Egypt to strengthen their role in the promotion of gender equality. This work builds on and prolongs earlier engagement and solid relations with both employers and workers organisations in Egypt, in the domain and gender equality and beyond. Trade unions are supported to become more active players to advocate for gender equality and defend women at work, including as part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. On the employers’ side, the FEI acts as the main project partner to support private firms in Egypt in adopting best-practice gender-sensitive HR policies.
Promoting women’s economic empowerment at work through responsible business conduct – G7 countries The G7 recognizes that women are key drivers of innovation, growth and jobs, and that the private sector plays a vital role in creating an environment in which women can more meaningfully participate in the economy. The group has set concrete targets, such as reducing the gender gap in labour force participation rates by 25% by 2025, and to increase spending on Technical Education and Vocational Training (TVET) by a third by 2030. The G7 countries have committed to: (1) invest in women’s skills development and TVET; (2) facilitate women's labour force participation, career advancement, and work life balance; (3) stimulate women’s entrepreneurship and the growth and sustainability of women-owned businesses; and (4) accelerate the adoption and implementation of the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs). In alignment with these priorities, the overall objective of this project is to support sustainable, inclusive and equitable economic growth by promoting women’s economic empowerment in public and private sector in G7 countries. The specific objectives are to: (1) Facilitate dialogue and exchanges among G7 countries’ public and private sector; and (2) Further engage with the private sector in the elimination of gender inequality faced by women in the world of work. The strength of this project lays in the fact that many multinational corporations have their headquarters in G7 countries. Creating impact and results for women’s economic empowerment in the world of work at the highest level of corporation could have important trickle down effects to their operations across the world.
