Developing a social safety net: capacity building for income support and livelihood recovery for poor and vulnerable families affected by Typhoon Pablo through labour-based rural road repair and maintenance Typhoon Pablo (international name Bopha) is the second strong typhoon that hit Mindanao in the recent year. The typhoon barreled through eastern Mindanao provinces in the early hours of Tuesday, December 4, 2012 and brought death and destruction to areas that never before experienced calamities of such magnitude. The hardest hit provinces are Compostela Valley, Surigao del Sur and Davao Oriental. Survivors tell how powerful winds and raging floodwaters caused landslides that blocked waterways, eventually releasing huge volumes of water and mud destroying everything in its path. The ILO has developed and applied a crisis response and recovery strategy in recent typhoon affected areas in the Philippines. The most recent response strategy, also in Mindanao, in the Typhoon Sendong (Washi)-affected areas will now also be also applied in the Typhoon Pablo (Bopha)-affected areas. Economic activities will be started by providing immediate but short-term income to survivors through cash-for-work. This will then transition into a longer-term sustainable employment and livelihood development for the affected communities to recover. The project PHI/13/50/JPN (under umbrella of RAS/11/01/JPN) was selected and approved by the Selection Committee on an ad hoc basis in January 2013 in order to urgently responds being set up in order to urgently respond to the crisis in Philippines, that caused enormous damage and one thousand deaths. The project will initiate local job generation programmes anchored on infrastructure repair and maintenance involving the meaningful participation of the affected communities and local government units. This will serve as a model for future crisis response.

Rural Safety Nets through Income Security and Employment Promotion for Poverty Reduction The project strategy is based on the establishment of effective community-local government partnerships for local economic and social development in 3 selected districts in the provinces of Vientiane, Phongsaly and Sekong. ILO’s local development approach will be used as the conceptual framework for integrating different ILO strategic components of livelihood improvement and job creation strategies at the local level. A main assumption is that all these strategic components are relevant for job creation and income support for poor rural people in Lao PDR. The relevance of individual components will be assessed during district assessments and district workshops. If necessary, changes can be made in the components that make up the rural employment strategy. The main interventions are likely to be in the areas of value chain upgrading, skills development and employment-intensive community-based small infrastructure schemes. Throughout the jobs promoted and created, occupational safety and health will be promoted through practical and participatory strategies. These are to be seen as important entry points for local development but will need further validation in the project inception phase in which additional participatory analysis of local economic potential will inform the exact nature of interventions within these technical intervention areas. It is however not excluded that other areas of ILO expertise will come into the picture such as small enterprise development, green jobs and village banking. It is assumed that poor rural men and women are in need of income support and willing to participate in project activities. This risk will be mitigated through discussions and local workshops before implementing any interventions at village level.

Support to the Released Chibok Girls in North Eastern Nigeria Over the last four years the North East (NE) of Nigeria has witnessed a rapid increase in violent attacks and high scale destruction by an Islamic Jihadist terrorist group; Boko Haram. On the night of 14–15 April 2014, approximately 276 female students were kidnapped from the Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in, Borno State Nigeria. The kidnappings were claimed by the Boko Haram Sect; an Islamic Jihadist terrorist group. In response to the abduction of the Chibok Girls, the ILO in partnership with other UN agencies, National and State partners developed an integrated support package (ISP) to complement the Government’s response through humanitarian and development interventions in support of the affected population, the abductees, their families, and the affected communities. The ISP aims to provide a comprehensive intervention to mitigate the immediate humanitarian and long-term development impact of the ongoing insecurity. As a member of the United Nations Country team in Nigeria, the ILO intends to implement a number of activities both short and long term activities aimed at providing assistance to the kidnapped girls when they are released, their immediate families and the community of Chibok at large. The ILO also intends to support other long term interventions including support to improved livelihoods for the affected communities.
Better Work Indonesia - Disability Training The project aims at improving access to employment for women with disabilities in the garment sector by providing vocational training to especially women with disabilities in collaboration with the International Garment Centre (IGTC). For the admission to the trainings, the junior high school trainees’ selection criteria will be developed in consultation with the expert who will advise the training centre. The IGTC will collaborate with the garment sector (BWI factories), as well as disabled people’s organizations in disseminating the information on the training possibilities for this project. The IGTC is a vocational garment training centre, which has been established to fulfil requirements of the garment industry by providing productive and effective training by highly qualified staff. It collaborates with Vocational Schools all over Java Island and provides teachers’ training with the support of the Ministry of national Education. The project will operate through the BWI project, in collaboration with the MAMPU project, and with technical support from PROPEL Indonesia and the ILO Disability Team based in Geneva. It will focus on piloting the training programme with the IGTC. The ILO has had good experiences and outcomes of the collaboration with IGTC previously. Since 2001, IGTC educates highly skilled workers for the garment industry, and is focusing on teaching practical and technical skills supplemented by general knowledge such as life skills. Throughout the training programme, the employers (chosen BWI factories to be part of the pilot) will be engaged and included in the process. The aim will be for the trainees to be placed in the pilot BWI factories for employment.
IPEC en África occidental: Senegal, Mali, Guinea Bissau y Cabo Verde. Inicio de Acciones Piloto El presente proyecto, a ser implementado en las repúblicas de Senegal, Malí, Guinea Bissau y Cabo Verde, plantea intervenir sobre varios ejes para establecer estructuras a nivel sub regional, nacional y local que permitan a los países beneficiarios abordar en forma sostenible la prevención y eliminación progresiva del trabajo infantil y la eliminación inmediata de sus peores formas. El proyecto tiene como objetivos inmediatos establecer un marco operativo para la cooperación sub regional, Sur – Sur e internacional en los países de la sub región de África Occidental, para la eliminación del trabajo infantil, con énfasis en sus peores formas. Asimismo, el proyecto apunta a generar y fortalecer las estructuras institucionales necesarias y las capacidades de actores locales para el desarrollo de planes y políticas nacionales para la eliminación del trabajo infantil y sus peores formas. A través de la sensibilización de la opinión pública sobre los riesgos y efectos nocivos del trabajo infantil, así como a través de la inclusión del tema de la lucha contra el trabajo infantil dentro de la política educativa y de los planes de lucha contra la pobreza, el proyecto contribuirá a crear un contexto político y social favorable a la eliminación progresiva del trabajo infantil y la eliminación inmediata de sus peores formas. Asimismo, al finalizar el proyecto se habrá establecido en los cuatro países beneficiarios sistemas de prevención de las peores formas de trabajo infantil y se habrán generado diversos programas de acción directa (PAD) e intervenciones-modelo para su erradicación. Los programas de acción directa (PAD) tienen como finalidad principal el retiro de niños y niñas de actividades laborales, especialmente de las formas más nocivas de trabajo infantil, así como la sistematización y validación de experiencias, con el fin de transferir las metodologías aplicadas para que otras instituciones públicas y privadas puedan replicarlas en diferentes contextos y con diversas poblaciones. Niños, niñas, adolescentes y sus familias se beneficiarán directamente de los programas de acción directa. Estos beneficios estarán ligados a la mejora de la calidad de los servicios de educación, salud, atención a víctimas de explotación y mejora de la legislación y de su aplicación efectiva.
Gender Mainstreaming in the ILO Norway Partnership Agreement in South Africa Following on from the activities undertaken under different phases of the Norway/ILO Partnership throughout 2008-2011, the project will focus on ensuring that the work of the Norway/ILO Partnership Agreement in South Africa is gender mainstreamed: i.e. that “women’s as well as men’s concerns form an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation” of the ILO’s work in South Africa, so that “women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated.” GENDER will work with ILO colleagues and constituents in South Africa to ensure that work being undertaken under the following two projects is gender mainstreamed: • Good Governance through Labour Administration and Labour Inspection • Promoting freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining

Formations au Centre international de formation à Turin : Volet «Appui à l’initiative du socle de protection sociale» En juin 2012, une nouvelle Recommandation de l’OIT concernant les Socles de protection sociale a été adopté. Les Socles de protection sociale sont «des ensembles de garanties élémentaires de sécurité sociale définis à l’échelle nationale qui assurent une protection visant à prévenir ou à réduire la pauvreté, la vulnérabilité et l’exclusion sociale». Cette importante Recommandation a pour but d’étendre l’accès à des soins de santé essentiels et à une sécurité élémentaire de revenu pour des millions de personnes à travers le monde. Chaque pays est ainsi encouragé à établir des Socles de protection sociale en tant qu’élément fondamental de leurs systèmes nationaux de sécurité sociale et faisant partie de leurs plans de développement social et économique. Dans le contexte du projet INT/14/50/FRA, le Centre international de formation de l’OIT (CIF-OIT) contribue au renforcement des capacités des acteurs nationaux afin qu’ils disposent des connaissances pour la mise en œuvre et gestion durable des composantes du Socle de protection sociale. Les participants seront sélectionnés parmi les pays Africains francophones (exception faite du Togo, qui bénéficie déjà d’un projet financé par la France) qui ont comme priorité nationale, le socle de protection sociale.
