Gender Audit ta in Jakara to build capacity to undertake a gender audit in HIV programme This is a small grant from UNAIDS to ILO, Jakarta so that ILO will be able to conduct a gender-audit training workshop specifically relating to HIV. ILO Gender Audit is a tool and a process based on a participatory methodology. The process promotes organizational learning at the individual, work unit and organizational levels to mainstream gender in a practical and effective way. ILO Indonesia has already conducted the Gender Audit process in their office and with couple of organizations. The organization that participates in the Gender Audit process selects the participants to learn and understand the GA process. The participants would eventually conduct and continue the gender audit process in their own organization.
Integrated action against trafficking for labour exploitation in Peru For several years the ILO’s Special Action Programme to Combat Forced Labour (SAP-FL) programme has provided assistance to South American countries, especially Bolivia, Paraguay and Peru, to combat forced labour and trafficking for labour exploitation. These projects have achieved significant results, documenting the problems, raising awareness, building capacities and assisting the creation of new institutional structures. In Peru a National Commission was created to combat forced labour, gathering representatives from various ministries with employers and workers. The commission works as a space of dialogue and coordination to promote and follow up the enforcement of actions against forced labour in several sectors. A National Plan to Combat Forced Labour has been designed with the stakeholders and launched by the Government. The National Plan consists of six components relative to investigation, education and awareness raising, legislation, strengthening of institutions, strengthening of affected population, social responsibility and social dialogue. SAP-FL has provided support on both national and local level in Peru, as well as at the international level by facilitating exchange of information, experiences and good practices between several countries in the region. Building on these achievements in Peru, the project aims to protect both national and emigrant workers from the risks of being trafficked for labour exploitation, with a clear focus on prevention and capacity building. The strategic sustainability will be ensured by strengthening national capacities, with a special focus on labour inspection, and local stakeholders. It will achieve this by raising awareness among potential victims of trafficking, and by training community leaders so as to carry out prevention activities. In particular, it addresses areas in which the ILO enjoys a comparative advantage, namely: i. Capacity-building of the Ministry of Labour, including labour inspectors, employers’ and workers’ organisations for the protection of the rights of both internal and cross-border migrant workers, particularly those working in sectors or regions with high incidence of trafficking and forced labour. ii. Strengthening the knowledge base on trafficking for labour exploitation within and from Peru, and reducing the vulnerabilities of migrant workers to trafficking and forced labour abuses, as a basis for better-informed policy making and implementation.

Better Work Asia Pacific Better Work’s development objective is to contribute to fairer globalization and pro-poor development through promoting Decent Work. The programme seeks to improve human and economic development in targeted sectors and countries through improving compliance with labour standards and increasing competitiveness. By doing so, Better Work promotes social justice, full and decent employment, decent workplaces and a social floor. It is a new and innovative approach to the promotion of Decent Work at global, regional and national level. The Better Work partnership between the ILO and IFC also increases the capacity of both organisations to work together and to put labour standards more prominently on the international development agenda including within the World Bank Group. By adopting an integrated sectoral approach and working closely with ILO constituents as well as the private sector, Better Work directly facilitates sustainable enterprises. The programme covers all four strategic objectives of the Decent Work Agenda including gender and non-discrimination as a cross-cutting theme. Better Work country level activities are designed as part of the ILO Decent Work Country Programs (DWCP) and IFC strategic priorities. Typically DWCPs are integrated into the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) and coordinated with the relevant Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP). Better Work has concentrated on country programs in the apparel sector. As a result, the large majority of activities, factories and workers covered by the programme take place in Asia. Most anticipated expansion of the programme will also place in Asia, including in new industries.
Green Jobs in Asia As the demand for energy consumption accelerates in Asia, the worlds economic engine will need maintenance - and an overhaul - to make it more energy efficient and to ensure the host countries meet their voluntary commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. Through enhanced capacity of ILO constituents, sound policy guidance, the undertaking of gender-responsive field activities on green employment in specific economic sectors, this project aims to assist five Asian countries in shifting to a low-carbon, environmentally friendly and climate resilient economy within the context of a global economic recovery. These measures will help pave the way for a recovery that is climate smart and job-centered (DELETE RECOVERY). This in turn will help countries reduce social gaps, support their development goals and contribute to the realization of decent work. Supported by the ILO-Australia Partnership Agreement signed in April 2010, the work will be conducted in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nepal, The Philippines and Sri Lanka. The project will spend the better part of two years pursuing three main objectives. First, it aims to increase the ability of ILO constituents and national partners to access reliable sources of data and information on green jobs, including information on the employment impacts of environment-related policies and good practices resulting in green jobs. Second, it will help countries mainstream these green jobs into their national labour and social policies. Finally, as green jobs programming takes hold, it will enable the creation of a gender-responsive approach to greener employment opportunities in the context of the global recovery, creating the conditions for a Just Transition (WHY CAPS?) in particular sectors, including renewable energy, waste management and recycling, natural resource management, and energy and resource efficient buildings and enterprises.

Security with Citizenship: preventing violence and strengthening citizenship with a focus on children, adolescents and youth in vulnerable conditions in Brazilian communities Executive Summary: The joint programme seeks to develop actions directed at achieving a reduction of the violence that affects children, youth and adolescents in a situation of vulnerability, through the voluntary compliance with rules, the self-regulation of behaviour and the promotion of mechanisms of social control. The programme also intends to build and strengthen capacities among local actors to ensure that actions are carried out within the framework of full citizen coexistence and a security plan, as well as the strengthening of conditions of local governance that ensure the sustainability of the actions. The programme is targeted at children, youth and adolescents, young men and women, between 10 and 24 years, who are especially vulnerable because they are excluded from the educational system, are victims of domestic or intergenerational violence are involved in drug-related activities, such as traffic, or belong to a community affected by the presence of perverse or detrimental social capital. The actions will be developed in specific areas of three municipalities chosen on the basis of socio-cultural criteria and violence and crime rates, so that they reflect the different realities of Brazil (high, medium and low violence rates). The programme and its components have been established giving special consideration to the different roles, behaviours, aspirations and needs of children, adolescents and young women and men in vulnerable situations, or at risk of becoming victims or agents of violence. Thus, during the development, monitoring and evaluation phases, the programme will analyze its impact on the security situation, victimization and security perception of young men and women. The programme seeks to guarantee the commitment of municipal authorities through the provision of financial compensation and, especially, management. To this end, the participating municipalities will be selected through public contest, an objective and transparent selection process in which the local commitments will be a defining variable in the final choice. The programme involves the participation of six agencies of the United Nations system in Brazil: UNDP, UNODC, UNICEF, UNESCO, UN-HABITAT and ILO. The joint initiative will share and build on the specialized knowledge and experience of each agency and guarantee the quality of the planned actions. In order to ensure effective gender mainstreaming in the development of the programme, the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) will provide support and advice. The programme responds to the established objectives of cooperation of the UN system in the country and to the need for action towards strengthening public policies adopted by the federal government, in particular the National Programme for Public Security with Citizenship - PRONASCI.
Better Work Indonesia Phase II (USDOL) The Better Work Indonesia (BWI) program was established at the end of 2010 with funding from AusAID. BWI seeks to improve working conditions and productivity in targeted employment-intensive sectors. It will do this by improving compliance by Indonesian enterprises, especially those who are linked to global supply chains in the apparel industry, with international core labour standards and Indonesian labour law. In parallel, the program will also promote productivity and competitiveness of these enterprises with an initial focus on the apparel industry in the Greater Jakarta area and with a view to expanding to other industries and geographic areas.
Promotion of Decent Work in the South African Transport Sector (phase I) The ILO Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) for South Africa identifies four priority areas for interventions in support of local constituents and other stakeholders, namely the strengthening of Labour Market Governance, the promotion of employment, the extension of social protection coverage and the strengthening of HIV/AIDS workplace responses. These priority areas have been further concretized in nine intermediate outcomes that serve as reference points for the formulation of specific initiatives. The intermediate outcomes are to be treated as interlinked, in line with the ILO 2008 Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization according to which the different dimensions of decent work are inseparable and mutually supportive. The DWCP support initiative proposed in this SPROUT is designed as a pilot project to demonstrate this emerging systemic approach to the promotion of Decent Work. The project will focus on an employment-intensive service industry with a Decent Work deficit, here the South African transport industry. It aims at boosting industry competitiveness of a key industry player, Transnet, through a combination of interventions determined by way of social dialogue and ranging from workplace improvement measures to functional and technical/vocational skills training and further on to the facilitation of access to social protection. The proposed project has three phases and a duration of five years. The strategic emphasis of the first phase is on piloting the new approach in the Ports of Durban and Richards Bay during a 24 months period and with a budget of 1,27 million US Dollars. The overall objective of the proposed project is the creation of decent employment for women and men. The overall outcome of phase I are more sustainable businesses, here in the Ports of Durban of Richards Bay, that create decent and productive jobs. The proposed initiative comes at a time when South African Ports are recovering from the impact of the global financial and economic crisis. In line with the Global Jobs Pact facilitated by ILO in response to the crisis, the programme will make a significant contribution to the protection of existing jobs and the accelerated economic recovery of the Port.
