Strategies for Accelerating the Pace of Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour This descentralised project is totally linked to the preparation of the III Child Labour Global Conference that will take place in Brazil in 2013. The first strategy of the project (IO1) will be to prepare technical inputs to support tripartite consultations at the national and international levels on the challenges to achieve the target of eliminating the worst forms of child labour by 2016 and all forms of child labour by 2020, and taking stock of existing successful public policies to address child labour worldwide. Based on the ILO Conventions No. 138 and its Recommendation No. 146 and Convention No. 182 and its Recommendation No. 190; as well as the records of the I and II Global Conferences on Child Labour, especially the Roadmap approved in The Hague in May 2010, the project will then revise all existing international documents and prepare a document named “Baseline Document” to be drafted for the preparatory regional consultations. The “Baseline Document” shall provide inputs and foster social dialogue, both before and during III GCLC/2013. The Baseline Document shall be accompanied by three other supporting documents: the first one, entitled Technical Input No. 1 for accelerating the pace of the reduction of child labour, will summarize obligations that derive from the ILO Conventions and their Recommendations on the theme and the Hague Roadmap. The two other documents will be than be prepared based on the structure of the Baseline Document. Thus, the Technical Input No. 2 document, to be named “Challenges in Accelerating the Pace to Reduce Child Labour” shall, from the perspective of public policy makers, address the obstacles, difficulties and the necessary knowledge required by the international community. Finally, the Technical Input No. 3 document, to be entitled “Good Practices and Lessons Learned” shall report on successful experiences in addressing and overcoming the obstacles to eliminate the worst forms. The second strategy of this Project is meant to keep record of all consultation that will take place involving Brazil and the international community participating in events related to the preparation of the IIIGCLC/2013. The objective is to process and systematize the any reports and outcomes of these consultations for wider dissimnation within the participating countries. In the context of IO No. 2, the project will make use of two additional strategies. One will focus on the creation – through the national and international coordination and mobilization efforts – of a favorable environment to hold the IIIGCLC/2013 and for this, the project will deelop a communication/sensitization proposal that will use the mass media, social networks and international events prior to IIIGCLC/2013, as a way to encourage countries to share their interest in supporting the international movement against child labour. Finally, the project will provide technical and operational assistance to Brazilian Ministry of Social Development and to IIIGCLC/2013 in channeling international demands related to the IIIGCLC/2013.
Training of contractors and unskilled workers in contract management and labour-based methods for feeder/community roads The lack of productive employment for youth is not only an economic problem, but also represents a major political and security risk. The Government of Sierra Leone, with financial support of the World Bank, has launched the Youth Employment Support Project, with the objective of increasing access to short-term employment opportunities and to improving employability of targeted youth. The ILO will provide training services on employment intensive approaches to emerging enterpreneurs and government implementing staff. The training will focus mainly on roads rehabilitation and maintenance and renewable energy/environmental mitigation sectors. The proposal for training was prepared jointly by the ILO and Sierra Leone Roads Authority (SLRA) in response to the request from National Commission on Social Action (NaCSA) to provide sustainable training courses with quality content for both supervisory staff and contractors’ personnel. NaCSA has launched an ambitious and innovative programme of providing employment for the youth through the implementation of public works projects. The primary objective of the programme is the creation of stability in the country by the provision of livelihoods in roads, agriculture and solid waste sectors. The principles or guidelines that NaCSA has adopted to achieve this objective involve (i) Maximising Labour Input for job creation purposes to create social stability and reduce poverty, (ii) Maximum use of private sector since it is considered the most efficient means of works execution and (iii) Decentralisation & capacity building.

Ethiopia - Strengthening the world of work response on HIV/AIDS - AIDS Capacity building and Technical Support (ACTS) Executive Summary Strengthening the world of work response on HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia is part the global OPEC supported ILO/AIDS project targeting 10 countries including Ethiopia. The project is expected help scale up/strengthen workplace responses in the country to address high risk populations and vulnerable workers and their families, as well as the capacity gaps in the national AIDS response. The ultimate beneficiaries that will directly gain from the project, and hence reduce their risk to HIV infection, will be workers and employers in the selected sectors and regions, including their families. The project has a total budget of 240,000 USD for two years. With a development objective of contributing to the reduction of HIV incidence among individuals (men and women) through an effective world of work response in the country, this project has four expected outcomes: 1. Tripartite and “tripartite plus” organization capacities built to effectively promote and also mobilize resources for HIV/AIDS in the world of work response in the country 2. A comprehensive sectoral response is in place in 2 high risk sectors to scale up the HIV/AIDS programs in the workplace 3. Existing workplace responses of HIV in sectors at national sustained and scaled up 4. The world of work incorporated as an important part of the overall regional comprehensive HIV responses in 2 regional states The project will be integrated to one of the country program priority of the Decent Work Country Program (DWCP) that focuses on HIV/AIDS with specific areas of activities including capacity building and technical assistance to tripartite organizations workplace policies, programmes and code of practice; mitigating HIV/AIDS in MSEs and cooperatives as well as developing a sectoral strategy to effectively respond to the epidemic.
Quick Impact Job Creation for Youth through Labour Based Public Works Executive Summary: This project builds on the GoSL approach on youth employment generation through its pro-poor growth strategy in the PRSP and it anchors on the UN Joint Vision for Sierra Leone. It responds to the Government’s call for employment creation for youth as means for consolidation of peace and security in Sierra Leone. It forms a core component of UNJV Programme 19-Youth Development and Employment in that it links access to employment, markets and social services for young people. The Quick Impact Employment Intensive Project (QEIP) will provide rapid employment opportunities for youth and income generating activities for youth while strengthening the capacities of local governments and MDAs to facilitate job creation at the local levels. The Project will work in close collaboration with other initiatives by UN agencies and development partners in Bombali District. The Project will serve as an ILO-led pilot and it is expected that, once proven, this approach will be institutionalised by the Government and participating national institutions. The Project will combine up-streaming - policy and planning capacity building of SLRA and small/ medium private sector, and down-streaming – programmatic interventions that directly create employment. Feeder roads will be selected on identification where development is constrained by lack of infrastructure and where related agriculture interventions are being carried out. This project will focus on the capacity of small-medium scale private contractors to carry out rehabilitation and maintenance of rural roads. Staff from SLRA will be trained in technical, administrative and financial aspects of road rehabilitation and maintenance. This project will thus guarantee the existence of institutional capacity for any future expansion to other districts. The training strategy will draw heavily on the experience of SLRA and successful ILO supported projects in Africa (e.g. Ghana and Liberia). The project is designed as stage one of a three year programme of employment creation and institutional strengthening.
Joint Programme on Green Production and Trade to Increase Income and Employment Opportunities for the Rural Poor The programme aims to increase income and employment opportunities for raw material growers/collectors and grassroots producers of handicrafts and small furniture, targeting 4,450 poor households in four northern provinces of Viet Nam, namely Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Hoa Binh and Phu Tho. The approach is to develop better integrated, pro-poor, and environmentally sustainable “green” value chains, enabling poor growers, collectors and producers to improve their products and to link them to more profitable markets. The programme will result in a) an improved understanding of the handicrafts and small furniture value chains; b) sustainable income increases of poor crafts and small furniture raw materials growers/collectors; c) sustainable income increases of rural poor crafts and small furniture producing households and enterprises; and, d) improved policies and regulatory frameworks at the provincial and national levels for the pro-poor promotion of handicrafts and small furniture production. The ILO’s contribution is aimed at improving i) good workplace practices, occupational safety and health and labour standards, ii) service capacity for higher productivity and competitiveness, iii) business management skills and iv) representation of grassroots producers.
Country and global programmes respond effectively to HIV and AIDS in the world of work including social protection coverage in informal sector
The ILO Programme in the 2010 – 2011 UNAIDS Unified Budget and Workplan The ILO action within the framework of the proposed programme will focus on developing and enhancing national workplace policy on HIV/AIDS or labour legislation and on promoting HIV/AIDS workplace programmes and action. In undertaking activities, particular importance will be attached to collaboration with, and support to, the tripartite constituents, intersectoral collaboration, gender equality and strengthening the ILO’s knowledge base on HIV/AIDS. The programme will be also mobilised to enhance the ILO’s action to follow up on a new standard on HIV/AIDS which is to be adopted by the ILC in June 2010. The ILO will receive funds for the programme from UNAIDS as one of its Cosponsors. The programme has been formulated within the framework of 2010-11 UNAIDS’ Unified Budget and Workplan (UBW), and is designed to contribute to nine priority areas spelled out in UNAIDS Outcome Framework for 2009-2001. Those include: 1) reducing sexual transmission of HIV; 2) preventing mothers dying and babies from infected with HIV; 3) ensuring treatment of people with HIV; 4) preventing people with HIV from dying of tuberculosis; 5) protecting drug users from infected with HIV; 6) empowering young people to protect themselves from HIV; 7) removing punitive laws; 8) preventing violence against women and girls; and 9) enhancing social protection.
Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation: Promoting Rights, Diversity and Equality in the World of Work (PRIDE) The project will identify good practices and discrimination faced by LGBT women and men under each of the four pillars of the ILO’s Decent Work Agenda. It will: • identify the gaps and shortcomings in legal provisions and their application which lead to discrimination in the world of work for LGBT persons, and record positive legal systems where such rights are protected (Fundamental Principles and Rights); • identify ‘good practice’ workplaces where diversity and tolerance for LGBT persons is promoted (Employment Promotion); • assess whether social security instruments such as medical care, pension entitlements and other benefits are available to LGBT workers on the same terms as other workers (Social Protection); and • assess the extent of constituents’ knowledge and technical capacity to raise LGBT issues in tripartite social dialogue fora and in collective bargaining processes (Social Dialogue). In addition, as certain LGBT persons face particular challenges in relation to HIV and generally have been marginalized in the global response to AIDS, a fifth component on HIV and AIDS is also included.
Promoting Freedom of Association and the Right to Collective Bargaining This project works at the regional level in Africa and at the country level in China and Zimbabwe and reflects the lessons learned from the similar programme funded by the Norwegian government in 2009-2010: namely that it is important to help governments maintain a rights-based approach to development by ensuing an accurate assessment of the benchmarks and gaps of Freedom of Association, on the basis of relevant standards and principles, as well as to build the tripartite capacity to take a promotional approach aimed at ensuring the effective respect and implementation of these principles and rights. Given the short duration of the project, activities will mainly target policy and decision makers from the tripartite constituents. Experience, impact and unresolved challenges will be carefully documented at the end of the project and would be the basis for future work by the ILO on these rights and in these countries.
The way forward after the revolution - decent work for women in Egypt and Tunisia This project proposal is conceived to strengthen Tunisian and Egyptian women’s position to participate in the labour market and improve labour market institutions to better assist women after the revolution in both countries. The project will support the ILO’s constituents (Governments, workers and employers) to address the challenges women are facing in post-revolution Tunisia and Egypt. Among these challenges is the need to enhance women’s employability by increasing their skills and knowledge, to improve respect towards gender equality, and enhance the process of efficient social dialogue practices. To achieve this, a four-pronged intervention logic is envisaged for the project, combining (i) Sensitizing social partners and a wider audience on gender issues and inequalities in the world of work (ii) Increasing the capacity of and institutional setting for females to equip them with necessary skills to engage in social dialogue and collective bargaining processes for advancing gender equality, non-discrimination, and increased female representation in trade unions (iii) Increasing women’s skills to enhance their employability (iv) Capacity building for labour market institutions to better serve women and increase women’s access to these institutions. The intervention logic is founded on the conviction that improving women’s labour market position and increasing participation in decent work is a prerequisite for sustained equality, inclusion and democratization in Tunisia and Egypt.

Developing the capacity of employers organizations in the Arab Region to contribute to job rich growth through effective policy and social dialogue The overall approach to the project is to: 1) Provide participating national employers and business organizations (Hereafter “Chambers”) with a clear understanding of their basic roles and responsibilities in an emerging and new context; 2) Capacitate these organizations with the ability to develop pro-active national policy agendas, to create employment through enterprise policies, and to equip them with the capacity to engage in effective policy and social dialogue. A “Chamber Literacy” programme is the main component of the first objective. This will outline the basic roles and expectations of Chambers in the emerging dispensation, and provide Chambers with a clear understanding of what kind of organizations will be necessary in the emerging situation in the region. Also, provide them with the tools to achieve it. Independent assessments will be carried out of all participating chambers. These assessments will include a review of Chambers’ current operational capacity in terms of meeting the needs of business in an evolving situation and also the external environment these organizations are operating in. Reports will be developed in each country to assist in change management processes. The second component is the policy part. To achieve the second objective, to contribute, via the development of a sound policy dialogue between Chambers and governments and based on firm empirical evidence, to employment and enterprise growth, a series of national Enabling Environment for Sustainable Enterprises and Employment reports (Hereafter “EESEE”) will be commissioned. These reports will assess and analyze the key current binding constraints on enterprise and employment growth. These EESEE reports will then form the basis for capacity building efforts which will take place both nationally and regionally with Chambers. The project will comprehensively build the capacity of participating Chambers to research and assess the policy environment, develop concrete proposals and formulate and run an advocacy strategy. The project will allow space for each participating organization to shape its activities in line with specific priorities. Additionally the project will seek to build further on existing capacity building work based on Outcome 9 in the region. The duration of the project is 18 months expected to start as of 1st of June 2012 with a budget of $750,000.
Way out of informality: facilitating formalization of informal economy in South Asia Large decent work deficits in the rapidly growing informal economy in the context of limited growth of formal sector employment is a major challenge for the constituents in South Asia in realizing decent work for all. The project intends to address the problem by facilitating formalization of informal businesses and workers, and discouraging informalization of the formal economy firms and jobs. It will facilitate a review of the policy and the regulatory incentives and disincentives of formalization/informalization, and promote a formal job growth through the application of a job-rich growth strategy and an integrated support to formalization in selected target areas. The information campaigns directed to target beneficiaries as well as the capacity building of the concerned government institutions and social partners are essential. Good practices and relevant tools will be shared through consultation workshops and web-based platforms. Detailed planning and implementation at the local level will be guided through a participatory dialogue process.
