Investment Budget Execution Support for Rural Infrastructure Development and Empl. Generation (TIM Works) Executive Summary The 2006 Timor-Leste and Development Partners Meeting displayed the commitment of the Government to promote accelerated economic growth under its Combating Poverty as a National Cause Plan, and progress towards the objectives defined by the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), particularly in areas related with the Eradication of Extreme Poverty, and the Development and Implementation of Strategies for Decent and Productive Work. The TIM-Works Project will provide short-term employment opportunities to 36,000 beneficiaries, creating a total of 540,000 workdays in all 13 districts of Timor-Leste, decreasing the demographic pressure on Dili and easing the burden placed on rural households still hosting IDPs. The Project will promote a Labour Based approach, making intensive use of workforce and limiting investments in equipments and materials. Activities will be identified through a community-driven process, involving local authorities at the district, sub-district, village, and sub-village levels. Considering the Project strategy to use rural infrastructure related works as an opportunity to create employment, the core range of activities will focus on rural roads repair/rehabilitation, irrigation canals cleaning and restoration, grass cutting and drainage cleaning of national and district roads, and rehabilitation of sport sites. As mentioned above, other activities will be identified and selected based on concrete proposals from the communities. Youth will be a priority target of the TIM-Works Project, but other vulnerable groups like women, members of displaced households, dismissed military personnel, veterans, and etc, will also benefit. A specific computerized Management Information System will be developed, in order to enable appropriate Project management, monitoring, and evaluation, and to provide permanently updated information for reporting to donors and stakeholders. Target for AUSAid funding – 75 kms of infrastructure
Support to the Development of a HIV & AIDS National Workplace Policy for Zambia In 2010, the tripartite partners in Zambia agreed to develop a national HIV&AIDS workplace policy in line with the new Recommendation 200. Zambia is a heavy burden country as far as HIV is concerned. The current prevalence of 14.3% is still very high, especially considering that the most affected are those who are working. At present, the Employment Act is under revision in Zambia. The new version includes a chapter on HIV&AIDS, which makes it mandatory for companies to have an HIV&AIDS policy in place. If the law is approved as proposed, there will be a great need for a guiding framework for companies to base their workplace policies on. Zambia has also been attracting a lot of investors who need to be guided on the need for HIV and AIDS workplace policies and programmes as one way of safeguarding their huge investments. The National workplace policy will be a useful tool for all sectors, both public and private. It would also cater for the informal economy where over 80% of workers are in Zambia.
Support for the Child Labour Platform of the UN Global Compact Human Rights and Labour Working Group There is widespread support among a broad range of stakeholders for the Child Labour Platform (CLP) to continue its role as the leading global multi-stakeholder initiative on business and child labour. This proposal seeks funding to initiate activities of the CLP in the second quarter and to continue for a period of 12 months until April 2014. While companies have begun to join the CLP formally, funding from the Human Rights Fund will accelerate and provide important momentum to the implementation of the workplan of CLP, which in turn is likely to spur additional companies to join. Importantly, the proposed funding will allow the CLP to be well positioned to ensure that Corporate Social Responsibility concerns are integrated into the 2013 Global Conference on Child Labour in Brazil, a key strategic opportunity. The Child Labour Platform was launched at the 2010 Global Child Labour Conference at The Hague by the Dutch Ministry of Social Welfare, the UN Global Compact (UNGC), and the Dutch NGO the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH). In April 2012, the CLP became an official work-stream of the UN Global Compact Labour Working Group (LWG), co-chaired by the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) and UNI Global Union (UNI), representing employers’ and workers’ organizations, respectively, in some 150 countries. ILO-IPEC assumed responsibility as the CLP’s Secretariat and provides expert advice and technical assistance. This governance structure stands the CLP in excellent stead for its future success. ILO-IPEC brings 20 years’ experience as the leading global programme on the elimination of child labour and is the promoter and guardian of the international labour standards concerning child labour: ILO Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour and Convention No. 138 on Minimum Age. As an integral part of the ILO’s Governance and Tripartism Department, ILO-IPEC serves as an important conduit between the CLP and the constituents of the ILO, including governments. As such, the CLP makes a direct contribution to the ILO’s Programme and Budget Outcome 16: “Child labour is eliminated, with priority being given to the worst forms”. In addition, the UN Global Compact, a founding member of the CLP, comprises a network of over 10,000 businesses aiming to align their operations with, among others, Principle 5 of the UNGC: to “uphold the effective abolition of child labour”. The UNGC plays a critical role in connecting the CLP to the wider membership of the UNGC, as well as in promoting that the learnings derived from the CLP are taken to scale in the global business community. The CLP has four over-arching objectives: 1. To foster the exchange of business, government, workers’ and employers’ organisations and civil society experience in addressing child labour. 2. To identify obstacles to and identify practical approaches to tackling child labour in supply chains. 3. To catalyse cooperative approaches to addressing child labour. 4. To contribute to building a knowledge base on child labour in supply chains.

Enhanced action against forced labour in Asia and the Pacific In line with ILO’s overall strategy to eradicate forced labour, this project aims at strengthening action in the region with the highest prevalence of forced labour while also building on the emerging political consensus that forced labour and trafficking should not be tolerated in either global supply chains or in more traditional employment relationships. The action will directly feed into the four priority areas of ILO’s work at the global level, namely a) policy development, b) development of innovative research products and guidance tools, c) advisory services and capacity building, and d) knowledge sharing. Each of these four pillars is aimed at building an intervention which will demonstrate a reduction of forced labour at country, regional and global levels. ILO’s strategy against forced labour is based on the assumption that strong national institutions and capacity are essential to move forward on the elimination of forced labour.
Gender Mainstreaming in the ILO Norway Partnership Agreement in South Afr 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
