Strategies for accelerating the Pace of Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour O projeto “Estratégias para Acelerar o Ritmo da Erradicação das Piores Formas de Trabalho Infantil”, executado no âmbito do Programa de Cooperação Sul-Sul Brasil –OIT, foi firmado, em 2012, entre o Governo Brasileiro, por meio da Agência Brasileira de Cooperação do Ministério das Relações Exteriores (ABC/MRE) e do Ministério do Ministério do Desenvolvimento Social e Combate à Fome (MDS) e a OIT, e teve como objetivo principal apoiar a preparação e realização da III Conferência Global sobre Trabalho Infantil (IIICGTI). Considerando que os representantes de governos, organizações de empregadores e trabalhadores, Organizações Não-Governamentais (ONGs), outros atores da sociedade civil e organizações regionais e internacionais presentes à III CGTI reafirmaram seu compromisso em eliminar as piores formas de trabalho infantil até 2016, o Governo brasileiro, por intermédio do Ministério do Desenvolvimento Social e Combate à Fome (MDS), pretende fortalecer e aprimorar suas ações para acelerar a eliminação do trabalho infantil. Por essa razão, decide revisar esse projeto para incluir no seu escopo o apoio da OIT ao processo de adaptação de sua política de prevenção e erradicação do trabalho ao novo contexto socioeconômico do país, assim como à sua sistematização e compartilhamento no contexto da Cooperação Sul-Sul e da Iniciativa Regional. Objetivo de Desenvolvimento: Contribuir para acelerar o ritmo de redução do trabalho infantil e o alcance das metas de eliminação das piores formas de trabalho infantil até 2016 e de todas as formas de trabalho infantil até 2020, por meio do intercâmbio de experiências entre o Brasil e os países participantes da III Conferência Global sobre Trabalho Infantil (III CGTI/2013) sobre as estratégias adotadas, planejadas para a prevenção e eliminação do trabalho infantil.
Promoting Women in Business and Management - The Role of Employers Organisations The WIBM Global Report identifies a number of areas where EO’s can take actions to further promote women in business and management. These include: ¿ awareness raising on the business case for gender equality and diversity, ¿ developing strategies and action plans to promote WIBM internally and for members, ¿ advising and supporting EO company members to implement practical measures to support the advancement of women in management and leadership, including addressing challenges in managing a diverse workforce, ¿ identifying mechanisms to ensure more women participate on boards and management positions of member companies as well as within EO’s themselves, ¿ developing strategic partnerships with women entrepreneur associations to give them a greater voice on policy issues, ¿ policy advocacy on legal frameworks that can promote women’s access to decision-making in the private sector. In the follow-up phase of WIBM work, the focus will be on further promoting the business case for WIBM among EO’s and member companies and developing tools that will help EO’s to better assist their members to respond to rapidly changing gender roles in the business environment. Key elements of the strategy will include building an informal network/community of practice of employers’ organizations committed to promoting WIBM and helping them move the agenda forward in their respective environments as well as to guide ACT/EMP work and share experiences and ideas.
Improving labour laws and labour administration for new industrial relations framework in full respect of the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at work
Promoting fundamental principles and rights at work in cotton supply chain, China The objective of the project is to improve respect for fundamental rights at work for a sustainable cotton supply chain. The project’s strategy is built around three mutually reinforcing outcomes: 1) Improve the knowledge based on fundamental rights at work in the cotton supply chain; 2) Advance respect for fundamental rights at work in cotton growing communities: 3) Contribute to meaningful stakeholder dialogue and engagement on fundamental rights at work at the industry level. The project will implement its three outcomes in India and Pakistan. In China, the project will prioritize outcomes 1 and 3 and will concentrate on Outcome 2 in Mali.
Countering the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers in Yemen The project aims at preventing the recruitment of children and youth and to sustainably reintegrate children formally associated with the conflict in Hajjah, Sanaa and Lahj governorates in Yemen (Specific Objective). The socioeconomic integration of children associated with armed forces and armed groups (CAAFAG), vulnerable youth and marginalized groups will contribute to stabilization and security of the targeted areas (Overall Goal). As a first outcome, targeted children and youths will have better access to services and facilities for their social and economic integration. Existing resources around children will be strengthened: labour inspectors at Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour, local councils, members of Social Committees, members of the Higher Council for Childhood and Motherhood, staff of NGOs, and community leaders will be capacitated to educate, inform and change their attitudes and behaviors towards children's use in armed conflict. Four child-friendly spaces in central locations will be created, to mobilize communities around the protection and wellbeing of children while providing recreational, psychosocial and life-skill education support. Four youth clubs will be created to engage target children in recreational activities. Coordination and referral mechanisms will also be set up to provide specialized mental health care support to CAAFAG and to reduce their vulnerability. As a second outcome, former CAAFAG and other children at risk of recruitment above the minimum working age will be reintegrated through access to employable skills for improved working conditions and sustainable income. Three hundred CAAFAG and children at risk (CAR) will be assisted and oriented in matching their skills/aspirations to labour market needs, based on a labour market assessment in four selected communities in the three Governorates. Two-hundred CAAFAG and CAR will acquire vocational skills through ILO upgraded informal apprenticeship system, consisting on on-the-job training in firms and workshops and theoretical training. Where possible, beneficiaries will be linked to ILO’s existing programme on improved informal apprenticeships. Three-hundred CAAFAG and CAR will be empowered with functional literacy and numeracy skills and will be equipped with essential life skills for personal and community development. For youth who demonstrate the potential for entrepreneurship, the project will provide business development services (BDS) with the view of empowering them to set up and run their own small businesses. For the special needs of adolescent girls at risk, the project will roll out a successfully developed and pilot tested “Women Business Owners Training programme in the selected governorates.
Partnerships for Youth Employment in the Commonwealth of Independent States The project, funded by the OAO Lukoil and implemented by the ILO, will seek to improve effectiveness of youth employment initiatives in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation, through interventions both at regional and country levels. The overall objective is to improve the capabilities of each country to design, implement and evaluate youth sensitive employment plans and programmes, so as to reduce the number of young women and men who are at risk of social exclusion, and increase the competitiveness and economic growth in the region. It will include knowledge-sharing events both inside and beyond the regions. Innovative regional initiatives will be fostered and the regional element will thus have the potential to serve as a pilot example for future cooperation in other regions. Moreover, by building professional networks on youth employment, inter-regional cooperation will be promoted and opportunities to share research, best practices and address common problems in a joint manner will increase.
Chantier école d’entretien routier en Mauritanie L’objectif principal du projet est le développement d’une filière de formation professionnelle dans le domaine de l’entretien routier en vue de renforcer l’employabilité des jeunes hommes et femmes et favoriser leur insertion socioprofessionnelle dans les métiers porteurs de l’entretien routier dans les zones rurales et urbaines en Mauritanie. La stratégie globale du projet s’inscrit dans le cadre du Programme d'Appui Institutionnel au Secteur des Transports (PAIST) du 10ème FED. Elle se fonde sur le renforcement de l’offre de formation dans le domaine de l’entretien routier à l’attention de 400 jeunes au total par le biais de chantiers Ecoles d’entretien de 16 kilomètres de pistes menant à l’obtention d’un Certificat de Compétences. Le projet est mis en œuvre sur 30 mois selon un schéma alternant formation théorique au sein de Centres de Formation Technique et professionnelle, formation pratique sur un chantier et immersion en entreprise. Le projet répond au défi posé par les reformes dans le secteur routier qui offriront dans un court terme les opportunités d’emplois pour les jeunes hommes et femmes dans les métiers relatifs à l’entretien routier ; ceci dans la perspective de garantir durablement la qualité du réseau routier. Le projet renforcera les capacités de 4 centres de formation technique et professionnelle, de 150 chefs d’entreprises, des techniciens et ouvriers spécialisés de celles-ci. Enfin le renforcement des partenariats entre l’administration publique et les partenaires sociaux mais aussi avec les acteurs du secteur privé dans la définition des stratégies et des opérations d’entretien routier favorables à l’emploi des jeunes sera également promu. Les interventions du projet permettront de construire un modèle de formation diplômante à cycle court, d’établir une plateforme de dialogue entre les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) d’entretien routier, les centres de formation, les acteurs d’intermédiation et de placement des jeunes pour mieux faire correspondre l’offre à la demande de travail dans le secteur. D’une façon plus spécifique, la stratégie du projet est basée sur la mise en place d’un projet pédagogique et professionnel de formation et d’insertion à l’attention des jeunes et de l’administration routière. L’application des approches basées sur des techniques intensives en main d’œuvre au profit des jeunes sera favorisée et permettra de coupler l’apprentissage sur les chantiers réels d’entretien routier à un parcours académique de 6 mois au total pour 4 promotions de 100 jeunes, soit une cible de 400 jeunes. Le système s’appuiera sur le dispositif de formation professionnelle mauritanien en mettant l’accent sur la qualification des jeunes et le renforcement des compétences des acteurs de l’entretien du réseau routier mauritanien. La mise en œuvre du projet se fonde d’une part sur l’expérience et l’expertise de l’OIT en matière d’approches et de techniques intensives en emploi de main d’œuvre dans les infrastructures d’autre part et sur une capitalisation des interventions de coopération pour le développement des compétences et de l’emploi des jeunes d’autre part.
STED Asia: Skills for Trade and Economic Diversification This project will improve the ability of policy-makers, industry and the skills development system to identify export-oriented sectors with growth potential, to then identify emerging skill needs in those industries, and to build up the capacity of training providers to meet them. Constituents in the three target countries, Cambodia, Myanmar and Malawi, will gain practical experience in integrating skills anticipation and development in sector growth strategies, building up and using labour market information and strengthening national and sector institutions for social dialogue to link trade, employment and skills policies. This causal chain - from economic analysis, to partnerships, to training – is needed to turn the potential of trade into the reality of more diversified economies and the creation of more productive and decent jobs. In one target country, Cambodia, further work will demonstrate how recommendations from the statistical analysis and sector-based social dialogue can be implemented and how their impact on productivity and employment can be monitored. This project will also contribute materially to the maturation of the Skills for Trade and Economic Diversification programme (STED), resulting in the development, pilot testing and international vetting of a Monitoring and Evaluation Framework to track interventions through to expected results. The initial use of this Framework will guide the further development of STED and its eventual dissemination is foreseen to contribute significantly to the outreach of the STED programme globally and to its sustainability at the country level.
Support to the MSSRP to assess, monitor and increase the labour-intensity of its capital investments The Municipal Services and Resilience Project (MSSRP 2018-2020, P161465) funded under a World Bank Trust Fund intends to scale up activities which started under the Emergency Services and Social Resilience Project (ESSRP 2013-2018) and which target improvement of infrastructure and service delivery based on the needs of communities hosting Syrian refugees and their municipalities, while providing job opportunities for Syrians and Jordanians. The objective of MSSRP is to help Jordanian municipalities address service delivery impacts of the Syrian refugee influx and support investments that generate jobs and improve social and economic conditions in host communities. MSSRP therefore also aims to focus on job creation through public investment. As employment-intensive investment strategies are relatively new in Jordan the ILO has been approached to provide technical assistance to MSSRP to assess, monitor and increase the employment generation. The proposed project will allow ILO to mobilize a small team of local experts and consultants to support and build capacity in MSSRP to assess and increase the labour-intensity of its capital investment budget. Activities will include the production of technical guidelines, technical assistance and mentorship, training and capacity building of project counterparts and employment impact studies and employment monitoring and reporting.
Better Work - Disney Workplace Improvement: Management Systems The project components put forward in this proposal support an overarching goal to scale Better Work training and advisory services using new technologies and targeting diverse actors in the supply chain to support our efforts to improve working conditions at a sectoral level. The partnership between The Walt Disney Company and Better Work is based on a long standing and positive relationship. Past projects funded by The Walt Disney Company have yielded important impacts already and have reinforced a growing belief in the industry that equipping people with skills to improve themselves and their quality of work and life is what drives workplace transformation. The proposals therefore build on the successes of those projects, expanding training efforts to more audiences and geographies – through the development of a training portal and through training targeting critical actors in the supply chain including labour inspectorates andfactory groups/vendors.
Combatting Unacceptable Forms of Work in the Thai Fishing and Seafood Industry Seafood exports in Thailand are a US$7 billion industry.1 A number of reports in recent years have shed light on the serious human and labour rights abuses committed in the Thai commercial fishing and seafood processing industries, particularly against men, women and children migrant workers coming from neighbouring Myanmar, Lao PDR and Cambodia. To respond to this critical situation, the proposed ''Combatting Unacceptable Forms of Work in the Thai Fishing and Seafood Industry'' project aims to reduce forced labour, child labour and other unacceptable forms of work, and progressively eliminate the exploitation of workers, particularly migrant workers, in these sectors, and thereby improve compliance with fundamental rights at work. Special attention will be given to tackling forced labour on board fishing vessels. This will be achieved by enhancing the effectiveness of the labour inspectorate by strengthening governance, systems, capacities, cooperation and transparency. The application of the law will be further advanced through applying pressure from retailers and buyers higher up the supply chain, and the empowerment of workers to exercise their rights. The project will contribute to efforts to better regulate the industry and manage migration, and will reduce employers’ reliance on unscrupulous labour recruiters and irregular migrants’ vulnerability. In addition, the children of migrant workers or unaccompanied child migrants will be better protected from labour exploitation.
Strengthening Labour Market Governance in the occupied Palestinian territory through Reformed Labour Law and Enhanced Social Dialogue The oPt has major gaps in its legal and institutional framework for protection of fundamental labour rights, and for ensuring sound labour market governance. In broader context, the oPt faces the challenge of pursuing good governance and respect for the rule of law, in particular to develop the strong, independent and widely-respected institutions that are essential to support its transition to statehood. Based on its past interventions in this area and consultations with its tripartite constituents, the ILO through this project will address these problems by working on two main areas: i) Developing and Improving the Legal Framework The Project will help the Ministry and social partners to establish a process for thorough analysis of the existing law, leading to revisions as necessary, with the guidance of a tripartite technical team. The analysis will include assessment of the industrial relations environment and the dispute resolution system, and draw on the findings of the ILO’s gender review and Rapid Assessment of the labour inspection system, and ii) Promoting Effective Institutions and Processes of Social Dialogue The Project will work to improve the processes of social dialogue and industrial relations climate at the national level by continuing to support the institutionalisation of the NTCLA, and by promoting social dialogue on labour law reform. At the enterprise or governorate level, it will work to create opportunities for employers and workers to come together to examine subjects of key interest, especially occupational safety and health, starting in the construction sector. It will provide training on workplace cooperation, conciliation and mediation, and also on joint negotiation skills. It will also explore the possibilities to establish a bipartite social dialogue structure in selected sectors. The two-year project is fully aligned with the national priorities stipulated in the National Development Plan 2011-2013 and the Labour Sector Strategy of the Ministry of Labour.
Better Work Indonesia Stage III - Australia The Better Work Indonesia (BWI) Programme seeks to address the above issues by focusing on improving workers’ lives and strengthening the competitiveness of the Indonesian garment sector. The programme has also recently enlarged its reach with the inclusion of footwear factories. BWI is being implemented in three phases over an eight-year period (2011-2018). The third phase will start from January 2016 and run until December 2018 with the objective to provide its services to 280 factories, create a sustainable structure for the delivery of services, and help build the capacity of the national constituents to improve compliance with national labour law and international labour standards. In the third phase, BWI will establish an independent national institution, “Foundation for Partnership at Work”, that will help deliver the BW core services of assessment, advisory and training, under the new, more efficient service model which started to be rolled out in Indonesia since April 2015. BWI itself will be reduced to a smaller team and work closely with national partners and stakeholders on using the BWI knowledge and lessons learned from the programme to help strengthen the capacity of national constituents, influence public and private sector policy on labour related issues, and support improved industrial relations in line with BW’s mandate. BWI’s strategy for the third phase of the programme will, therefore, be based on achieving 2 Outcomes. Outcome 1: By 2018, BWI will have achieved scale, quality and effectiveness in its core service delivery to improve working conditions, especially for women workers, in the Indonesian garment and footwear sector. Outcome 2: In support of BWI’s mandate, necessary changes in relevant laws, strategies, policies and practices at the sectoral and national level are initiated and influenced by BW.
Technical support to comprehensive social security reform in South Africa The ILO will contribute to the comprehensive social security reform programme, supporting the outputs of the national social dialogue through the NEDLAC, recommending improvements of the social security system; thereafter will assist with preparing submissions of draft policy, regulations and implementation plan. This will include recommendations of appropriate measures for achieving a better, sustainable and efficient social security system.
Coopération entre la France et le BIT dans le domaine de la recherche sur le thème de l'avenir du travail Le projet du BIT sur l’avenir du travail, qui s’étalera de 2015 à 2019, comprendra plusieurs éléments. D’abord un programme de recherche, qui sera conduit pour partie au BIT et pour partie en liaison avec des chercheurs externes au Bureau. Ce programme de recherche s’articulera autour de quatre thématiques : • Une analyse approfondie des tendances dans le monde du travail, y compris la relation de l’emploi, les changements dans le cadre d’entreprise comme le lieu principal où le travail s’effectue, les inégalités dans la rémunération du travail et les effets sur la santé des personnes dans l’emploi et la satisfaction liée au travail. • Un examen des principaux facteurs qui provoquent ces tendances, y compris les mutations technologiques, les changements dans l'organisation du travail, les modèles de production tels que les chaînes de valeur globales, la financiarisation, ainsi que les modifications des cadres institutionnels. • Une réflexion sur les implications politiques, notamment en ce qui concerne le rôle de la réglementation nationale et internationale, les droits et principes fondamentaux au travail et le tripartisme. • Des projections sur les évolutions futures du travail, son statut dans la société, le volume d’emploi que les économies seront à même de créer, les contours de l’entreprise et les inégalités. Ces projections dépendront bien évidemment des réponses que les Etats, les acteurs non-étatiques et les organisations internationales pourront apporter aux enjeux tels qu’ils se posent d’ores et déjà.
