Skills 21 – Empowering citizens for inclusive and sustainable growth : The project builds on the earlier Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Reform Project, funded by the EU, which successfully established new systems for skills development in Bangladesh, including reforms in the formal TVET system. However, the nascent National Skills Development System (NSDS) still needs strengthening, promotion, adoption/adaption, and replication by stakeholders. The Skills 21 project aims at strengthening the NSDS by continuing reforming the system and improving the national qualifications frameworks. It works with TVET institutions to introduce the entire reform package of new quality assured programmes, newly trained instructors and management and services for career guidance and job placement. The project aims also to support alliances between companies and relevant training providers to develop and implement demand-driven education and training programmes. In doing so, it places specific emphasis on the transition to a greener, more sustainable economy. The Skills 21 Project provides inputs for the creation of adequate opportunities to integrate migration-related approaches in skills development systems and assist in the implementation of the policy for (a) skilling and reintegrating migrants returning form the destination countries, and (b) those aspiring to migrate legally with skills needed in the destination countries. The project also address skills development-related challenges faced by the indigenous and other groups in the areas affected by climate change including the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT).

The following main outcomes will help guide outputs and planned activities: Children already engaged in and/or vulnerable to child labour have a more secure and improved status through referral to further education and protection services; working children above the minimum age are protected from occupational hazards in agriculture; and national and local capacity to address child labour in agriculture is enhanced.
Legal and Institutional Reforms for Improved Labour Market for Improved Labour Market Governance The Initiative to Improve Fundamental Labour Rights and Practices in Myanmar (The Initiative) was formally launched by Myanmar, the United States, Japan, Denmark and the International Labour Organization in November 2014. The European Union joined in May 2015. This Initiative seeks to support the promotion of fundamental labour rights and responsible business practices. Specifically, the Initiative will (1) develop a multi-year labour law reform plan to build on the legislative progress already made by Myanmar, (2) support institutional capacity building in line with identified priorities, and (3) provide a forum for domestic and international stakeholder engagement and input. Under this Initiative, the ILO-Myanmar Labour Market Governance Programme (the Programme) was developed, and the Phase I (Sept 2016 – Dec 2018) was implemented by the ILO with the kind financial contributions from the European Union, the Netherlands and the United States Department of Labor. As an Initiative partner, Japan has provided valuable support, through the provision of experts on labour administration who are embedded in MOLIP and provide expertise and advice on a day-to-day level. These Japanese experts work in close collaboration with the present ILO Programme. The ILO Labour Law Guide, published under the Programme, has been translated inter alia into Japanese (with the kind financial contribution from Japan) and is widely appreciated by Japanese businesses in Myanmar.
Supporting Skills Partnerships on Migration in Sub-Saharan Africa The ILO is engaging in a Global Skills Partnership on Migration to promote skills partnerships between organizations of employers and workers, training institutions, public employment services, national statistical institutes and other relevant actors in national skills systems between countries of origin and countries of destination. To ensure the context sensitive design and genuine grounding of the Global Skills Partnership at the country, corridor and regional level, the ILO will conduct three regional technical workshops under the umbrella of its existing SKILL-UP project. In the workshops, which are to be conducted in three Sub-Saharan African regions, namely Western Africa, Central Africa and Sahel in 2019, constituents will identify, define and plan for the implementation of tailored interventions to foster skills partnerships. Sub-regional and country-level mapping studies will inform the tripartite workshops.

Priority Implementation actions of the AU-ILO-IOM-ECA Joint Programme on Labour Migration Governance for Development and Integration in Africa (JLMP Priority) The proposed intervention –JLMP Priority Implementation Actions (JLMP Priority) -foresees a series of coordinated and simultaneous interventions implemented across two main thematic domains: governance and operational implementation. The governance domain addresses the critical need to develop in concert the four cardinal pillars of labour migration governance: 1) laws and regulative frameworks based on international labour standards, 2) viable and comprehensive policies developed in coherence across various sectors such as overall development, migration, employment and education, 3) strengthening core institutions responsible for labour migration governance such as relevant government Ministries (e.g. Ministries of migration, of labour, education, of justice, foreign affairs etc.), and 4) engaging stakeholders in a whole of society approach, including social or “World of Work” actors (Ministries of labour, and employers and workers’ organizations);migration organizations and associations, cooperation among the main employment and labour market institutions, diaspora associations, academia, media etc. The operational implementation component covers key inter-dependent technical operational areas: decent work and social protection for migrant workers and their families with effective application of labour standards and ethical recruitment, addressing the key constraints of skills shortages and increasing recognition of qualifications, and obtaining relevant and comparable labour migration and labour market data and knowledge for governance of labour migration and protection of migrants. Each of these reflects a specific area of standards, policies and technical competences, each addresses distinct institutions and constellations of stakeholders, and each intersects with different international actors and distinct migration, employment and labour market structures.
Unemployment Protection in Indonesia - Quality Assistance for Workers Affected by Labour Adjustments This project aims to strengthen support mechanisms for the unemployed by designing Employment Insurance system, expanding re-skilling training and improving Public Employment Services (PES).

Strenghtening Social Dialogue The action aims to increase the effectiveness of social dialogue and its relevance as a means for democratic governance. After having laid the foundation for high quality social dialogue, the project focuses on increasing the participation of social dialogue institutions and social partners in policy making at national and local levels. It aims to introduce the practice of regular consultations through the national and local economic and social councils as an integral part of policy making in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The overall objective of the project is to improve social dialogue with a view to creating more and better jobs. In order to achieve this, the project is structured around three components: 1) improving the functioning and visibility of the tripartite Economic and Social Council through devising methods for increasing its influence over national economic and social policy making ; 2) improving social dialogue at the local level, by improving the structure and functioning of the Local tripartite plus Economic and Social Councils, with prospects of reviving the ones that are not functioning; 3) promoting the visibility, and relevance and enhancing the capacity of the Trade Unions and Employers’ Organizations. The project assists the government and the social partners to achieve fair working conditions for all, equal opportunities and access to the labour market and social protection and inclusion through effective social dialogue and improved compliance with international labour standards and European good practice. The project thus supports the delivery of more effective labour rights for citizens in line with the European Pillar of Social Rights. Ultimately, the project supports the country’s advancement in the EU accession process and contributes to the achievement of the goals set in the Government’s Employment and Social Reform Programme 2020, the ILO Decent Work Country Program 2015-2018 and 2019-2022, and the Partnership for Sustainable Development - United Nations Strategy 2016-2020.

Strengthening social dialogue through capacity building of workers’ organizations and employers’ organizations 2019 The project ‘Strengthening social dialogue through capacity building of workers’ organizations and employers’ organizations’ will contribute to developing and reinforcing quality and effectiveness of social dialogue in the Member States and candidate countries. The project is organised in two parallel actions as follows: 1. The European Youth Academy on the Future of work: a training and knowledge-sharing action designed by the Programme for Workers’ Activities (ACTRAV) of the ITCILO in partnership with the European Trade Union Confederation. In 2019 the Action will be implemented also in cooperation with the ETUC Youth Committee and the ETUI Education. The Action aims at strengthening trade unions’ capacity to protect young workers during the processes of change that are currently transforming the world of work. 2. The Employers Young Professionals’ Academy which is the 8th edition of one of ITCILO flagship initiatives, run in collaboration with BusinessEurope, and aiming at strengthening the capacity of young staff members of employers’ organisations (EOs) in their core functions, notably advocacy, social dialogue and understanding of economic policy. Both components will use the ITCILO’s “Turin Learning Approach” (TLA), a training methodology for the design, implementation and evaluation of learning activities based on the following principles: I. relevance: methods are learner-centred; diversity adds value; design is flexible; II. quality: the learning environment is state-of-the-art; global values are promoted; learning is experiential; knowledge is shared and created; III. impact: competencies are embedded; networks are established; professional learning management is standard. These principles are well adapted to the world of labour, in line with the international dimension and the values of the EU and ILO such as social dialogue and participation, a rights-based approach to development, equality, non-discrimination, and results-orientation.
