Promoting Compliance with International Labour Standards in Colombia This technical cooperation project aims to strengthen the capacity of the Colombian labour and national stakeholders to comply with International Labour Standards (ILS), particularly those associated with freedom of association, collective bargaining, and assist them in following up the ILO supervisory bodies’ observations on their application. It was developed to contribute to the generation of labour relations that promote social justice and support economic development. The project’s components are designed to strengthen government mechanisms to protect fundamental rights at work, particularly freedom of association and collective bargaining. To this end, three immediate objectives were established: - Strengthen the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Labour, especially the labour inspectorate, to effectively enforce Colombian labour laws and guarantee fundamental rights at work, particularly in relation to freedom of association and collective bargaining and conflict resolution in accordance with international labour standards. - Strengthen existing social dialogue institutions and their stakeholders, particularly at the Departmental and local level and - Strengthen the institutional capacity of the Colombian government to enhance protection measures for trade union leaders, members, activists and organizers and to combat impunity for perpetrators of violence against them.

Development of dynamic social accounting matrix tool in South Africa The ILO has developed a modelling system based on the Social Accounting Matrix. This Dynamic Social Accounting Matrix (DySAM) permits an assessment of the actual and likely employment effects of various government actions, and can also include the impact on equity and greening the economy. The model has been used successfully in this way in Indonesia and Mozambique and is currently developed in Malaysia. The EDD has already consulted extensively with the ILO to try and understand the utility of the DySAM against the government’s employment creation and equity imperatives. The EDD also consulted with the National Treasury, DPME, StatsSA, and other modelling experts from academia. In establishing a working relationship with the ILO, submissions were made to the Director General of EDD for developing information systems for the employment impact of government programmes and policies with a contribution to the project budget from both EDD and ILO. This proposal has now finally been agreed to and the EDD will engage ILO for collaboration on two activities: i) developing the DySAM model; and ii) capacity building for the establishment and operation of the DySAM model with core implementing partners.

Urban Informal Economy (UIE) Component of the Project of Support to the Time Bound Programme towards the Elimination of Worst Forms of Child Labour in Bangladesh Project Summary: UIE Component The proposed TBP UIE Component builds on the experience of the pilot activities carried out under the previous Dutch-funded WFCL Project. It has the following strategies, components and targets: • Developing and establishing a joint government-community system of urban workplace surveillance (Child Labour Monitoring) through (i) organized involvement of the informal sector employers and workers, (ii) the research and development of appropriate tools and mechanisms for the regulation of child work, (iii) increased authority and mandate for local government structures (City Corporation, Municipalities), and (iv) capacity building of community-level institutions having proactive leaders; • Increasing the protection of young workers who are at risk of injury, illness or death through immediate removal of the children from either the workplace or from their exposure to the dangerous aspects. It will be facilitated by a strong social mobilization process linked up with the provision of viable alternatives (non-formal education, mainstreaming to formal education system, Skills Development Training and supervised apprenticeship schemes, family social and economic empowerment, workplace improvement, etc.) to hazardous work for child labourers, their families/guardians and employers, and the communities in which they work and reside. This process will not only lead to the withdrawal of children in WFCL but also to prevent children who are at risk of being victims of WFCL. It will subsequently be instrumental in creating “WFCL-Free areas” in the urban settings of Bangladesh; • Consolidating the models for practical, cost-effective preliminary vocational preparation, strengthening the extended vocational preparation activities to the target group of older children, and establishing employment support mechanisms for youth. • This project will target about 45,000 children (girls & boys) and will limit its coverage to Dhaka Metropolitan city, but options will be kept open to expand to the nearby smaller town, if necessary. • The strategies and projected interventions of the project are brought together in five interrelated Components of the TBP which are concerned with the urban child worker, namely: (1) Policy and model formulation, (2) Protection of child workers (3) Child worker education and preparation for future employment, (4) Prevention through social and economic development, and (5) Capacity-building for sustainability.
Combatting trafficking in Brazil The project’s development objective is to contribute to better address and combat trafficking in persons in Brazil. The project will work to fostering while the discussion on legislation issues, and to enhance knowledge-base, and contribute achieve a better law enforcement response. Besides, the Project intends to develop prevention methodologies, as well as to raise social awareness regarding trafficking in persons with gender and race approach. Planned outputs will be reached through an integrated strategy among initiatives developed under the National Plan against Trafficking in Persons and in total coordination with and in parallel to other ongoing projects on this issue in Brazil. The National Plan shall last from 2008 through 2009. It is planned to be evaluated at the end with the objective to revise it and update it for a new stage. This project shall give inputs for the Brazilian Government to effectively accomplish the Plan’s objectives and targets. The present project intends to amplify the results achieved so far by another ILO Project called Project against Trafficking in Persons, which lasts from 2006 to July, 2008. The former project has actively collaborated with Brazil’s Ministry of Justice in the elaboration of the National Policy and the National Plan, which has been approved by the President of the Republic. Therefore, the present project shall benefit from all partnerships previously consolidated, besides benefiting from all professionals who have been trained and who are now willing to work more effectively on combating trafficking in persons on Brazil. In this sense, previous projects implemented by ILO have contributed with inputs for designing complementary results capable of strengthening efforts in this new project. While the Project against Trafficking in Persons focused mainly on strategies to include the theme in the federal and local agendas, the new project intends to support the execution of new working methodologies and the implementation of the National Plan, through the design 01. In this regard, this project aims at the institutional strengthening of law enforcement agents, training and capacity building, prevention through better awareness raising strategies, as well as making the theme of trafficking in persons more visible to society as a whole. ILO’s strong partnerships and relations with governmental, non-governmental, worker’s and employer’s organizations, besides other international agencies, are essential to guarantee such results.
Protecting Children from Child Labour During the Early Recovery Phase (Part funded by Brazil) Haiti: Protecting children from child labour during the Early Recovery phase (Brazil-funded part of joint project funded by USDOS (HAI/10/02/USA) and ABC (HAI/11/02/BRA) 1. The current Project proposal is based on ILO Conventions on Minimum Age, 1973 (no. 138) and on the Worst Forms of Child Labour, 1999 (no. 182), both of which are ratified by Haiti. It targets the enormous challenge represented by preventing and eliminating child labour with special attention to the particularities in this respect of the present post-disaster stage, which entails risks of involving children in the reconstruction process, while also creating employment opportunities for adolescents above the minimum age for employment. 2. In this context, the Project will – while on the one hand focusing on keeping children out of child labour – include training opportunities for adolescents to be gainfully engaged in the reconstruction process, focusing on activities adolescents can be safely involved in and in keeping them out of hazardous work. 3. The activities to be implemented alongside this proposal are crucial to improve the prevention and elimination of child labour in Haiti. Through integrated strategies of south-south and triangular cooperation in Haiti, the proposal support the implementation of actions, during a 24-month period, that aim at the: • Protection of children and adolescents from child labour, especially its worst forms, during the early recovery and reconstruction phase. • Target host communities and support initiatives aimed at generating short term job opportunities and safe and protected work for adolescents above the minimum working age in the construction sector. • Collaboration with specialized UN agencies such as UNICEF, WFP, FAO, UN-HABITAT and other ILO programmes and projects amongst others, such as USAID funded initiatives, e.g. IDEJEN. • The strengthening of the role of social partners in the national reconstruction process. • Promotion of south-south and triangular cooperation. 4. This Project aims to achieve its objectives and results relying on: (i) the institutional capacity of the ILO and its IPEC Programme (International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour); (ii) the ILO’s unique mandate, within the UN system, to promote the effective implementation of International Labour Standards, where Conventions n°138 and 182 are of particular relevance to this Project, as well as to strengthen social dialogue among its constituents (government, employers and workers); (iii) the technical expertise on labour issues related to construction and reconstruction activities, through the ILO’s Sectoral Program; and (iv) the previous and current Brazilian experiences in the prevention and elimination of child labour in the Projects’ context of South-South cooperation. As a UN specialized agency, its broad network of partners and stakeholders is pivotal in the collaborative efforts with national and international actors, necessary for the achievement of the Project’s goal.
