Spanish MDG Fund new joint programme in Chile on indigenous people This project seeks to address the existing conflict between the Indigenous Peoples and Chilean Society. These problems are associated with the negative intercultural relations that have built up in Chile, the historic process of expropriating the land and natural resources of indigenous people, marginalisation and poverty, and the implementation of large-scale investment projects in areas where the majority population is of indigenous origin, and the difficulties of implementing public development policies. In view of the radicalised positions adopted and the increasing violence of the various forms of social protest, it is proposed to enhance national and local capacity-building efforts aimed at managing ongoing conflicts and preventing the emergence of any new trouble spots. The programme contains the following specific proposals: a) to assist in building up processes of dialogue and agreement between the government, civil society, indigenous organizations and private sector; and b) strengthening and adapting the legal frameworks and public policies directed towards indigenous peoples.

Advancing Decent Work for Non-standard and Sub-contracted Workers: What can be done?
Support to the Implementation of Nepal’s National Master Plan on the Elimination of Child Labour Executive Summary (one page) Nepal has been in the forefront of the combat on child labour. At the request of the Government of Nepal and the Social Partners, the new ILO project, “Support to the Implementation of Nepal’s National Master Plan on the Elimination of Child Labour” will support the implementation of the National Master Plan 2011/20. A key challenge is the inadequate and ineffective institutional and human resource capacity, particularly of public institutions with responsibility for governance, coordination, monitoring, and reporting on child labour elimination efforts. The Child Labour Elimination Section (CLES) under the lead Ministry of Labour and Transport Management is the key national entity for coordinating, monitoring and reporting on child labour interventions in the country. The Government recognizes that without an effective and capacitated CLES, the goals set out by the National Master Plan will not be achieved. The Project will contribute to the national Outcome (2) of the ILO Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) for Nepal, that is: “strengthened labour market governance by 2012”. The key project outcomes are; informed and conducive policy and legal framework for child labour elimination and prevention will be in place and functional and the governmental and non-governmental agencies and social partners will be engaged in concerted and effective implementation of the NMP 2011-20 on child labour elimination and prevention, with a priority on its worst forms. The proposed project, through direct support to the CLES of the MOLTM, will launch and support the implementation of the National Master Plan on the Worst Forms of Child Labour. The ILO will achieve the two outcomes with the strategies outlined below. It will collaborate closely with the CLES and will engage the social partners, local and international NGOs working in Nepal, relevant agencies and groups and the donors. The project will be administratively and technically administered by the ILO Country Office for Nepal, based in Kathmandu. An international adviser, on EXCOL contract, will be appointed by the ILO and will administratively work under the direct supervision of Director ILO Country Office Kathmandu. The ILO will provide administrative and management oversight through its Country Office in Nepal, and technical guidance and oversight through its Decent Work Country Team for South Asia and its technical department, namely IPEC.

MDG-Spanish Fund Joint Programme for Children, Nutrition and Food Security The Joint Programme for Children, Nutrition and Food Security in Cambodia addresses issues of critical importance for the health of women and children, and of highest priority for nutrition and food security as recognized by the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) as well as by the UN Country Team and other key stakeholders in the country. The Joint Programme (JP) will contribute to the achievement of three Millennium Development Goals: MDG 1 - eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, MDG 4 - reducing child mortality, and MDG 5 - improving maternal health. In addition, the JP will directly contribute to strategic development goals as articulated in national Strategic Framework for Food Security and Nutrition in Cambodia 2008-2012. Developed through a consultative process involving government partners, UN agencies and other relevant stakeholders, the JP will make an important and sustainable contribution to reducing undernutrition among children 0-24 months and pregnant and lactating women and improving food security. Based on internationally recognized evidence together with lessons learned in the country, the JP will adopt a comprehensive and integrated strategy to achieve its outcomes through providing support to: 1) The development and implementation of a nationwide comprehensive Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) plan comprising mass media, interpersonal communication and social mobilization for breastfeeding, complementary feeding, and iron and folic acid (IFA) supplementation for women during pregnancy and in the post-partum period 2) The provision of an integrated comprehensive package of nutrition and food security interventions delivered with intensity and high coverage in two food insecure provinces – Kampong Speu and Svay Rieng. The package will be delivered through government health services and existing community interventions in the areas of education, agriculture, food safety and nutrition. 3) The review of implementation and strengthening of existing nutrition, food security, and agricultural policies; and the development of new nutrition policies 4) The development of an integrated national food security and nutrition (FSN) monitoring system. Thus, the proposal will employ two complementary approaches for achieving measurable impact on nutrition status and behaviour within the life span of the 3-year JP. The nationwide BCC activities for improved Infant and Young Child Feeding practices (IYCF) and increased uptake of maternal IFA supplementation will be paired with geographically focused implementation of an innovative, integrated and comprehensive food security and nutrition package. The lessons learned in the targeted provinces will guide scale-up across the country while the support for policy development and monitoring will promote the use of effective interventions and facilitate evidence-based decisions. The JP has been developed through a process of close consultations between the six participating UN agencies and their respective government counterparts.
