Desarrollo de capacidades para el fortalecimiento de la institucionalidad de las políticas públicas de empleo, formación y certificación laboral en el marco de una cultura del trabajo – fase 2. El presente proyecto conforma una segunda fase del proyecto anterior. Las acciones a desarrollar se apoyan por tanto en la acumulación concretada en la primera fase, tanto para lograr un mayor grado de profundidad en los resultados, como para avanzar en aspectos no abordados en aquella. Mantiene por tanto igual objetivo de desarrollo, abocándose a dos grandes áreas de acción y resultados. Una primera que supone una continuidad y profundización respecto de la fase anterior, en especial en lo que refiere al desarrollo de capacidades para la actualización de perfiles ocupacionales y las evaluaciones de cargos. Se trata aquí de realizar nuevas y más intensivas acciones de transferencia que, a la vez que refuercen las capacidades en este campo de los técnicos que participaron de los diversos talleres de capacitación, permitan la incorporación de otros. Posteriormente, el proyecto se propone avanzar hacia la implementación de dicha metodología en hasta tres nuevos sectores ocupacionales, realizada por los equipos técnicos ya capacitados (en ambas fases) y con el apoyo técnico de OIT/Cinterfor. La segunda involucra componentes que representan una innovación respecto de la fase anterior, pero que tienen por fin último complementar avances ya realizados, mediante el desarrollo de un sistema de información que aporte a la consolidación del Sistema Nacional de Formación Profesional.
Enhancing the capacity of the workers’ centre to respond to the needs of migrant workers The Al Hassan Workers’ Center was launched in February 2014 as the first center in Jordan to provide a mix of social, health, and empowerment opportunities for migrant factory workers. In its first six months of operation, services in the center have grown to serve over 1,000 workers per week, offering them skills training, access to legal aid, social, and health opportunities, and support in the event of gender based violence. In the next two years of the project, the International Labour Organization will support the Workers’ Center to refine and expand current services, establishing formal psycho-social and health components at the center. The ILO will also support the transition of the Workers’ Center to a replicable, sustainable model where outside funding needed for operation will be significantly reduced. Lessons learned from the Al Hassan Workers Center will be transferred as a second workers center is established in another industrial zone in Jordan.
Formulation de la stratégie nationale de l'emploi Le présent projet contribue à la réalisation du CPO TUN102 ‘ Les capacités institutionnelles sont renforcées pour la promotion de politique et de programmes d'emploi et pour l'amélioration des systèmes d'information et d'analyse du marché du travail en faveur de l'emploi décent’. Depuis 2011, la transition tant politique qu’économique en Tunisie, montrent que les déficits d’emploi demeurent la principale menace à la paix sociale et au développement équitable. La complexité de la situation de l’emploi en Tunisie, marqué par des déficits tant quantitatifs que qualitatifs, requiert d’opérer un passage entre des politiques actives centrées sur la primo-insertion des jeunes diplômés vers une stratégie de l’emploi multidimensionnelle et transversale visant à traiter l’ensemble des déficits d’emploi et des groupes vulnérables. Cette situation a conduit le Ministère en charge de l’emploi à relancer le processus de formulation d’une Stratégie nationale de l’emploi qui mobilise l’ensemble des leviers susceptibles de créer des emplois en quantité et qualité suffisantes et regroupant tous les acteurs concernés de l’emploi.

New form of work and income security: Global and country-specific perspectives Promoting more and better jobs for inclusive growth is a key policy goal the world over. In the wake of the global financial crisis, unemployment remains stubbornly high, and there is insufficient job growth to reduce the incidence of working poverty. Moreover, income inequalities continue to widen, posing major challenges for the social contract that lies at the heart of social stability and economic prosperity. At the same time, the world of work continues to change rapidly and profoundly as a result of long-term drivers such as new technology, rapid shifts in the geography of production and trade, the transition to a greener economy, and demographic change. This helps explain the intensity of policy debates on “new forms of work”.
Protecting indigenous workers from unacceptable forms of work in Bangladesh The project aims to promote equality of indigenous workers in two target sectors: the tea garden industry and the urban informal sector. The project involves advocacy, capacity building and awareness regarding unacceptable forms of work, grounded in empirical evidence, with a view to enabling constituents and indigenous peoples’ organizations to take action to close protection gaps. The strategy specifically focuses on empowering female workers and on strengthening social dialogue as means to overcome discrimination and to address occupational safety and health issues. The project will target as direct recipients - urban indigenous migrant and tea plantation workers, trade unions and indigenous organizations and leaders, employers’ associations, government officials and media. As a means to overcome participation and representation gaps of indigenous peoples, the project will support indigenous organizations and the Parliamentary Caucus on Indigenous Peoples to accelerate advocacy work for the adoption of the Bangladesh Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Bill (BIPR) submitted to Parliament in 2015. While major policy changes will be achievable in the longer term, interventions under the proposed project will take stakeholder an important step further by (1) making partnerships, networks, and dialogue on addressing UFW in target sectors sustainable and inclusive; (2) create immediate positive effects for enhanced protection from UFW in target sectors through awareness, increased capacity to implement existing polices, and greater agency of stakeholders, particular indigenous women; and (3) creating an agreed road map for future action. The proposed project contributes to CPO BGD229 - linked to Outcome 8 - which aims to strengthen access to rights and public services of indigenous women and men in Bangladesh. The following activities contributing to BGD229 will be carried out under the proposed project: 1. Awareness raising and advocacy through dissemination of knowledge and evidence on unacceptable forms of work in target sectors. 2. Capacity building through action-oriented training on relevant international and national standards for men and women workers in target sectors geared to build sustainable partnerships and identify remedial action; 3. Strengthening women tea garden workers’ (or women in 1 urban informal sector) capacity for involvement in decision making in the family and workers’ organizations; 4. Technical support to Parliamentary Caucus Secretariat and the ITP national coordination body for advocacy and lobbying work with Members of Parliament to adopt the ‘Bangladesh Indigenous Peoples Rights Act’ Bill (BIPRA) in the national Parliament. 5. A national conference in 2017 bringing together constituents and indigenous organizations to review and discuss, results and lessons learned and with the aim to adopt a plan of action for reducing UFW in selected target sectors.
Applying the G20 Training Strategy In November 2012, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Government of the Russian Federation signed an agreement to implement a three-year programme of technical cooperation entitled Applying the G20 Training Strategy. This programme was designed to develop global tools, facilitate global knowledge-sharing and strengthen skills development systems through direct interventions in five countries: Armenia, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Viet Nam. That programme was scheduled to close by the end of November 2015 but it was extended until May 2016. The first phase of the project was a response to interest indicated by the Russian Federation to work with the ILO in supporting the application of the G20 Training Strategy to the skills development and employment needs in a range of countries, as committed in the Seoul Multi-Year Development Action Plan. The initiative was in line with Russian's Development Cooperation Strategy, focusing on the development of national vocational training programmes that meet labour market demand and on developing and implementing training programmes for managers of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) systems. The second and current phase of the project continues to target the countries that have benefitted from technical and financial support in the first phase, plus 5 regions in the Russian Federation, to provide more focused assistance to regional TVET institutions to better respond to core regional industries’ demand, improve employability, and increase employment and industry development. In all beneficiary countries, skills development has been identified as a priority in their Decent Work Country Programmes. Technical interventions in these countries are supported by respective ILO field offices in close collaboration with the ILO Skills and Employability Branch.

Natural Disaster Response Through Promotion of Eco-Tourism in Lombok Lombok, a resort island situated east to Bali, has been among the top tourist destinations in Indonesia. The island attract about 1 million tourists annually, according to the Ministry of Tourism. Tourism and its related sectors have been important sources of employment and income of local people. Two large scale earthquakes hit Lombok in August 2018 (6.9 magnitude and 6.2, respectively), damaging the infrastructure on the island. Travel warning of many governments advised potential tourists against visiting Lombok and its off-coast islands. As a consequence, the arrival of tourists in Lombok is forecasted to decline. The Tourism Minister Arif Yahaya reportedly said that the island was projected to lose some 100,000 tourists this year alone (The Jakarta Post, 24 August 2018). Lingering impact of tourist arrival next year is not known. Employment and income of local people will inevitably be affected for an unknown period. According to the Association of Indonesia Tour and Travel Agencies, foreign tourists spend US$ 1,200 on average. A quick recovery of the tourism sector is vital for the local economy and livelihood of many people whose income depends largely on tourism. The ILO has accumulated knowledge in crisis responses, local economic development and green tourism. This project contributes to a quicker recovery of the tourism sector and the livelihood of local people, while generating a basis for sustainable development of the island economy. Promotion of eco-tourism would attract tourists and benefit local communities if they were more integrated in tourism. The project aims to facilitate sustainable development of tourism and local economy, the benefit of which would last beyond the recovery from the earthquakes.
Mainstreaming Inclusive Insurance in Uganda For the working poor, insurance is an important financial service that is generally unavailable. However, many insurers in Africa do not have familiarity with this market segment nor the skills required to serve it effectively. Based on experiences over the past decade, there is a growing body of evidence that shows it is possible to provide valuable insurance protection to low-income households and be profitable, together with operational lessons about products and business models that work for consumers, insurers and distribution channels. This two-year collaboration between the ILO and FSD Uganda provides these insights to stakeholders in the insurance value chain in the country by building the capacity of The Insurance Institute of Uganda. Through this effort, more than 200 insurance professionals will be exposed to state-of-the-art inclusive insurance expertise, which they would be able to put into use to benefit low-income households, enterprises and smallholder farmers.
Sustaining strengthened national capacities to improve ILS compliance and reporting in Mongolia The project aims at supporting Mongolia’s effort towards the ratification of the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930, and the compliance of national legislation and procedures to International Labour Standards requirements with a view to effectively prevent child labour and forced labour, protect the victims and prosecute the perpetrators. Within the framework of the National Programme against Human Trafficking of 2017-2021, the project assists the tripartite constituents, the National Human Rights Commission and the Mongolian Bar Association, to conduct legal analysis and organise a training programme on the prevention of forced labour and human trafficking for labour exploitation. It is expected that by the end of the project, Mongolia will consider ratifying the Forced Labour Protocol and establishing a national operational framework to identify and protect victims of human trafficking for labour exploitation.
