Dissemination of Employment and Labour Measures for Recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake as International Public Resources This ILO/Japan Project aims to collect and compile lessons and good practices from the recovery efforts in Japan and to share them with a wide circle of the international community. It is hoped that the final outputs of the Project will better inform future natural disaster recovery efforts and policies including the post-Hyogo Framework of Action (HFA) in the Asia and Pacific region and beyond. The overall objective of the Project is to enhance the knowledge on employment and labour related measures in the context of disaster recovery. In order to do so, the Project will collect good practices and lessons learnt from past and ongoing recovery efforts in Japan and disseminate research findings to an international audience in the Asia and Pacific region and beyond. The target group of the project include the constituents in the Asia and Pacific countries and beyond who are responsible for planning and implementing disaster recovery policies resilient to natural disasters. By making research findings widely available, the Project is aimed to benefit people living in disaster-prone countries, who are its ultimate beneficiaries. The Project consists of two main activities: conducting research and disseminating research findings.
HIV Prevention and Impact Mitigation in the Agriculture and Transport Sector Corridors for Malawi The Government of Malawi has a Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS), which guides national development agenda. Meeting the MGDS is an enormous challenge and requires scaling up investment, credible planning as well as annual sequencing of interventions. Sectoral, district and urban development structures need to develop MDG-based development planning tools. Integrating HIV/AIDS prevention and mitigation in development planning is a central part of this process. It is worth noting as well that HIV and AIDS has reduced productivities of employees due to increased deaths and absenteeism caused by prolonged and frequent illnesses or incapacitation and high attrition among other factors, this is according to the assessment of the impact of HIV and AIDS in the Public Sector of Malawi conducted in 2003. ILO has supported Malawi in responding to HIV/AIDS through targeted interventions in the workplace, through collaboration with UNDP, FAO and UNAIDS. This proposal will have the following objectives: • To support the completion of the draft National HIV/AIDS Workplace Policy for Malawi • To support the implementation of the National HIV and AIDS Policy and Strategic Framework of Action for the Transport Sector in Malawi. • To support the coordination of HIV and AIDS workplace programs both in the public and private sectors This support will enhance the Governments Ministry of labour to take a lead role in its coordination of the workplace HIV/AIDS programming in collaboration with the Employers and Workers Organizations and other stakeholders. This will also help the Occupational Safety and Health Directorate within the Ministry of Labour build its capacity to undertake quality inspections that will include issues of HIV/AIDS in all of their inspection tools, and furthermore have adequate resources to effectively carry out its role.
Promotion of Community Security Through Engagement with Youth at Risk The overall objective of this proposal is: „to contain and prevent violent conflict by engaging youth at risk through the creation of employment and livelihood opportunities at the district level.¿ This joint initiative harnesses the skills and strengths of UNDP, UNICEF and ILO, structuring the activities around the following results areas: i. Capacity for peace and human security established in target districts under recognized legal and institutional frameworks in support to the selection and demilitarisation process of 2000 youth and adolescent (UNDP); ii. An estimated 700 adolescents, from within the profiled 2000 youth, demobilized and reintegrated at community level (UNICEF); iii. Implementation of activities in at least four DSC creating at least 1,300 short-term job opportunities for youth to contribute to violence reduction activities, community development and public works projects for initial employment and reintegration community (ILO with support from UNDP1); iv. Women, youth and marginalized groups are empowered to contribute meaningfully to safety and security decision-making (UNDP); v. Avenues created for longer term job creation/enterprise development through vocational training (based on labor and enterprise survey), youth entrepreneurship training and related business skills development. 100 new businesses started linking to business incubators (ILO). The overall programme addresses short term violence and insecurity at district level while delivering longer-term reform in community security. The combined action of the components above shall strengthen the Somali peacebuilding infrastructure which enables the Somali people to address and support a broader range of issues including this initiative on youth at-risk but also other ongoing programmes to address human trafficking and piracy. By engaging with actors of violence, youth at-risk or associated with armed groups, the potential to prevent youth enlistment in violent activities will also be addressed. Furthermore, such a joint venture maximises co-ordination and coherence, building the basis for sustainable impact by establishing a strategic partnership based on comparative advantage of UN agencies and partner NGOs. The programme builds on work already undertaken by each of the participating agency within their respective mandates. More specifically, it builds on the success of the LSBE programme implemented jointly by UNICEF and ILO with a previous grant from the donor. The proposed strategic approach to violence and conflict reduction is in line with the recent discussions within the UN on how to undertake “second generation of DDR" in complex settings, like the Somali one, where the minimum conditions for implementing traditional DDR programmes are not in place and there are high levels of diffused violence perpetrated by armed elements, such as militias and gangs
Promover el empleo productivo y el trabajo decente de los jóvenes en Mauritania El principal objetivo de este Programa es mejorar la eficacia de las políticas y programas de empleo juvenil en Argelia, Mauritania, Marruecos y Túnez y establecer un marco de cooperación regional sobre empleo juvenil. La estrategia global del Programa se basa en intervenciones a nivel regional y nacional. Las intervenciones regionales proveen el módulo global del Programa, mientras que los componentes nacionales son designados para tomar en cuenta las particularidades del desafío de empleo juvenil en cada país. Sin embargo, ambos tipos de intervención están correlacionados como gran parte del trabajo de desarrollo institucional relevante para los cuatro países. Este trabajo se llevará a cabo a nivel regional y será útil para fortalecer la capacidad nacional de las instituciones del mercado laboral y para mejorar la eficacia de la acción de empleo juvenil a nivel nacional. De manera más específica y basándose en la experiencia de las intervenciones de cooperación para el desarrollo en empleo juvenil, la estrategia del Programa se basa en dos componentes esenciales que combinan el fortalecimiento de la capacidad de las instituciones para poner en marcha las políticas y programas de empleo juvenil (acción a nivel regional y nacional) con proyectos dirigidos a la creación de más y mejores puestos de trabajo para jóvenes en los cuatro países (nivel nacional).
Tenth actuarial valuation of the National Insurance Fund as of 30 June 2010 The project will deliver an actuarial valuation report outlining the financial projections for the status-quo situation as well as the reform options and the recommendations to ensure its long-term financial sustainability.

Specifically, the project will contribute to the achievement of the decent work agenda goals in Africa and the countries' priorities as identified in their Decent Work Country Programmes.
Developing the capacity to promote trade union affiliation and collective bargaining coverage The ILO will provide technical assistance to the trade union confederation to develop and implement a strategy for both objectives. Since the confederations do not have reliable data on current affiliation and collective bargaining agreements, technical assistance will be provided for the collection of this data and the creation of databases. The agreement database will collect the main provisions of the agreements. The initial data collection will provide a base line for the project. The ILO will also provide technical assistance in the systematic documentation and sharing of good practices regarding membership and organization drives and campaigns as well collective bargaining negotiation strategies. The project will equip each confederation with computers and teleconferencing equipment. Technical assistance will be provided for a set of tool kits for each objective.
Construction d’écoles primaires à Madagascar Ce Programme soutient l’effort gouvernemental en matière d’amélioration de l’enseignement depuis la mise en place du programme « Education Pour Tous. Cette intervention vise à améliorer les conditions de l’enseignement en construisant et équipant des bâtiments scolaires. Le ‘Fast Track Initiative’ (FTI), a mis à disposition des partenaires techniques et financiers du MEN, sous la gestion de l’UNICEF, des fonds pour l’année 2010, en particulier pour la construction de 263 salles de classes équipées. Dans ce contexte, le projet HIMO/BIT intervient selon l’approche « Maître d’Ouvrage Délégué », avec intervention d’entreprises locales. En termes quantitatifs, le projet « Construction d’écoles primaires à Madagascar », MEN/UNICEF-BIT va contribuer à la : - Construction de 76 salles de classes, au bénéfice de 38 écoles primaires publiques, selon l’approche « Maîtrise d’ouvrage déléguée (PME). - Fabrication de 1 900 tables bancs pour les élèves, et de 76 bureaux et chaises pour les enseignants, - Formation de 38 associations de parents d’élèves à la gestion et à l’exécution de l’entretien courant des infrastructures scolaires construites (avec un partenariat FAF et commune) ; - Création de 19 500 journées de travail pour le personnel des entreprises et les populations locales. Le projet répond ainsi à la politique sectorielle du Ministère de l’Education Nationale, en matière de constructions scolaires. Le projet contribue aussi à l’atteinte des objectifs de la politique générale du Gouvernement Malgache consistant à promouvoir le secteur privé et à lutter contre la pauvreté en créant des emplois dans les zones rurales.
Ending Forced Labour, Generating Green Jobs: an approach for the promotion of social inclusiveness and sustainable development in Brazil The Brazilian Government and the social partners are committed to the promotion of green jobs and the eradication of forced labour. The project builds on a highly effective model of advisory services and partnerships with government, social partners and the private sector in Brazil to generate concerted action promoting decent work. The project addresses the fight against forced labour and the promotion of green jobs in complementary, mutually reinforcing ways: on the one hand, focusing on the provision of instruments that will deepen corporate social responsibility and enhance public policies related to the two themes, and, on the other hand, strengthening the capacity of key actors to establish links and build synergies between these two issues in the application of instruments in policy making and implementation. The approaches developed and tested in Brazil through this project are likely to be transferred and adapted to third developing countries through the Brazil-ILO South-South Cooperation Programme on Forced Labour and Green Jobs as well as through the ILO’s Global Programme on Green Jobs and the Special Action Programme to Combat Forced Labour (SAP-FL).

Regional Component (ILO-DFID Regional Programme to Promote Fair Recruitment, Safe Migration and Decent Work for Women Migrant Workers in South Asia and the Middle East) The ILO-DFID partnership programme is a five-year, inter-regional technical cooperation programme that will take a targeted approach to prevent the trafficking of women and girls in South Asia and the Middle East. The overall development objective is to address key drivers and vulnerabilities of trafficking, such as poverty and gender inequality, through an integrated prevention strategy of safe migration and decent work. At least 100,000 women and girls will be reached in South Asia - (India, Nepal, and Bangladesh) - as source countries for migrant workers and in major destination countries for migrant workers (India, U.A.E, Lebanon and Jordan). Key stakeholders will include governments, social partners, the private sector, NGOs and importantly, the voice and participation of women migrant workers themselves. Interventions will take a labour and criminal law focus and community based approach, to transform the labour market imbalances that exacerbate women worker vulnerabilities to trafficking while strengthening monitoring and enforcement measures. In key countries of destination and origin, the programme will work with key stakeholders to empower and better protect women migrant workers and girls and reduce the demand of cheap and exploitable labour by creating incentives for companies, recruitment agencies and employers. Interventions will also include partnerships with governments on laws and policies that better protect migrant workers, including bilateral cooperation arrangements between countries of origin and destination. It will also work closely with research organisations to build a strong evidence base on what anti-trafficking interventions work and why. In South Asia, internal and cross border migration will be addressed, with an initial focus on the domestic work sector. In later stages of the project, interventions addressing unacceptable forms of work in the garment industries in South Asia will be explored through a process of tripartite consultation and dialogue. In UAE and Lebanon, the programme will focus on providing services, support and protection to migrant domestic workers while in Jordan partnerships will be forged with major apparel brands, suppliers and recruiters to create ethical recruitment corridors.
Preventing the Trafficking of Women and Girls for Domestic Work The proposed project follows a sequential approach with an initial phase of nine months (Sept 2011-June 2012). This first phase is designed as a pilot phase, exploring partnerships to jumpstart activities, to be followed by a second phase (April 2012-2014) to expand proven practices based on assessment and learning. All project components and interventions will be guided by the principles and standards contained in the ILO Multilateral Framework on Labour Migration and applicable ILO/UN conventions and instruments, especially ILO C.189 on decent work for domestic workers. The project pursues a three-pronged strategy to prevent the trafficking of 60,000 women and girls by (1) Reducing MDW’ vulnerability to trafficking and forced labour practices by raising their overall awareness on trafficking and the capacity of organizations who serve them; (2) Improving livelihoods and reintegration services to DW, in particular victims of trafficking; (3) Building the capacity in government officials (law enforcement) and other key stakeholders to increase their effectiveness in combating forced labour practices and trafficking.

PAF: Safe roads, safe ports: strategic information on HIV-related vulnerabilities of long distance truck drivers and dockworkers, and mobilization of labour and business sectors in the city of Arica, Chile The ILO and OIM are leading this project for the Joint UN Team on HIV/AIDS in Chile. The geographical focus is the northern region of Arica and Parinacota, which has the highest prevalence of HIV and tuberculosis in Chile, and shares a border with higher-prevalence Perú. The purpose of the project is to gather information related to the HIV vulnerability of highly-mobile workers (particularly long-distance truck drivers, for which there is, currently, no HIV-related data), to develop educational materials for this population and to carry out a pilot educational programme aimed at decreasing their vulnerabilities. The project has three main components: • A survey on sexual behavior, knowledge and attitudes of highly mobile workers in Arica (with an expected reach of 600 workers); • Educational materials that address the HIV vulnerabilities of these mobile workers, as well as HIV-related discrimination and homophobia/transfobia; • Training at selected rest-stops/”hot-spots” to reach these mobile workers, and to install capacity in local tripartite partners, in order to provide continuity of services after project’s completion.
Elimination of Worst Forms of Child Labour in Seasonal Commercial Agriculture in Hazelnut Harvesting in Ordu The development objective of the project is to contribute to the elimination of the WFCL in seasonal commercial agriculture in line with the Government’s strategy drawn by the National Time Bound Policy and Programme Framework (TBPPF) for the elimination of WFCL by 2015. The immediate objectives of the project are to enhance local capacity for the removal of children from the WFCL in seasonal commercial agriculture in hazelnut production in Ordu; to prevent at-risk children from entering such work through capacity building of public institutions linked to Ordu Governorate, Ordu Municipality, Ordu Chamber of Agriculture, local NGOs; and to develop monitoring models and partnerships including public/private partnerships (PPP). The project would ultimately develop a strategic intervention model which would in turn contribute to the policy making and effective implementation process for the elimination of WFCL in Turkey. Three outputs are envisaged within the project duration: Output 1/Capacity Building: The capacity of local institutions in Ordu has been improved in planning, managing, coordinating, monitoring and implementing activities for the elimination of WFCL in seasonal commercial agriculture in hazelnut production. Output 2/Direct Support: Effective withdrawal and prevention mechanism for the WFCL in seasonal commercial agriculture in hazelnut production has been established and implemented at the local level. Output 3/Awareness Raising: An awareness raising strategy has been developed and implemented towards general public, families, employers, intermediaries as well as the media. The project will run for 12 months and various activities have been planned so as to reach the above outputs. Under Output 1, the planned activities could be summarized as reviewing outcomes of the last harvesting season, establishment of a project implementation unit, establishment of central and local level steering committees, carrying out training needs analysis, preparation of training modules and materials, conducting and evaluating training programmes, organizing meetings with central and field level institutions and organizations to contribute to the development of strategic plans and a strategy document. Under Output 2, intensive activities are planned for withdrawal, prevention and protection of targeted children for the elimination of WFCL. All of the required education, guidance, counselling and rehabilitation services together with monitoring activities will be implemented in this phase. Training of families, intermediaries and village heads on hazards of child labour would be the complementary activities under this output. Under Output 3, the planned activities would focus on reporting and lessons learned for sustainability of the model to be developed while discussing possibilities of replicating it in other agricultural products and areas. Specific focus would be placed on awareness raising activities which involve distribution of outcomes of the project and organization of two campaigns at national and local levels.
