Strengthened institutional capacity of workers' organizations Member based organizations continue to lose members, struggle to collect subscriptions regularly and to respond to issues related to the informal economy. The ZCTU faces serious financial problems and with donor fatigue and affiliate unions also facing serious problems due to the collapse of industry, the ZCTU is struggling to finance its operations. There is also competition from other trade union centres including the Zimbabwe Federation of Trade Unions and the recently formed Zimbabwe Confederation of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU) which has become a key player in the labour market in Zimbabwe. The on-going labour law reform process and the efforts to institutionalise dialogue under the Tripartite Negotiating Forum present opportunities for the ZCTU to lobby and advocate for mainstreaming workers’ rights into revised labour laws in line with key international labour standards. 
Key issues include the need to build and strengthen capacities of trade unions: representation including in the informal economy, freedom of association and collective bargaining; termination of employment, extension of social security to workers in precarious employment the majority of which are women and unjustified dismissals; strategic planning, resource mobilisation and the need for workers to influence policy agendas relevant to workers’ rights at national, regional and international levels.
Strengthened policies and programmes on enterprises,  productivity and working conditions in SMEs, green jobs and cooperatives MSMEs in Yemen face significant challenges due to prolonged conflict, leading to slow recovery and reliance on international aid. Data shows that 35% of medium-sized businesses have shut down, small enterprises have a negative growth rate, and only 6% of adults have bank accounts. Despite this, the private sector remains vital, employing over 80% of the workforce, with significant roles in agriculture, fishing, services, and manufacturing.
The ILO aims to support MSMEs through a multi-dimensional package promoting inclusive entrepreneurship, value chain development, access to finance, and strengthened cooperatives. 
Additionally, the ILO seeks to boost the competitiveness and productivity of Yemen's coffee supply chain, which has potential for supporting peace and well-being. Coffee exports have declined due to conflict, low productivity, poor quality, inadequate institutional capacity, land use issues, water scarcity, and policy constraints. The ILO’s intervention will target the entire coffee supply chain—from production to export—through comprehensive measures to enhance competitiveness and export potential, advancing decent work in Yemen.

Enabling business environment for sustainable enterprises and employment creation Lesotho continues to experience high levels of unemployment, informality, inequality, and poverty. GDP growth has gradually worsened over the past decade, from a peak of 6.3 percent in 2012 to 5.6 percent in 2020, resulting in a 12 percent decline in annual GDP growth. Lesotho’s private sector is largely concentrated in two sectors – mining (predominantly diamonds) and textiles/apparel manufacturing – and economic diversification has proven challenging due to a lack of competitiveness.  Most of the firms export to the US market under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) as well as to South Africa.

The ILO has partnered with the International Trade Centre (ITC) in collaboration with the World Bank and the Government of Lesotho  to boost the Lesotho T&C industry again as an important contributor to the country`s economy, support is needed to increase its competitiveness and productivity while providing decent work to all workers employed in the sector.
