Support to ACI 2: Jobs and skills for youth - Morocco Afin de répondre au mieux aux défis de l’emploi au niveau national, le Maroc souhaite développer une Stratégie nationale de l’emploi (SNE) qui vise à appréhender le marché du travail dans sa globalité et à mettre l’emploi productif et décent au centre de l’action publique. La Stratégie vise essentiellement à améliorer la situation de l’emploi des jeunes et des femmes qui sont les plus exposés au chômage et à la précarité du travail. Le projet a pour objectif d’appuyer les mandants tripartites dans l’élaboration de cette Stratégie nationale de l’emploi (SNE) ainsi que d’un plan d’action opérationnel pour sa mise en œuvre, en tenant en compte principalement les plus démunies : les jeunes et les femmes, et de renforcer les capacités des mandants tripartites sur le suivi, le pilotage et l’évaluation de cette SNE. Le Projet assurera la continuité des interventions du BIT au Maroc sur la question de l’emploi. Il ne s’agira pas de dupliquer les actions déjà réalisées mais de bâtir sur les résultats déjà obtenus et conjuguer les ressources pour renforcer les actions et avoir un meilleur impact. Pour la finalisation de la SNE et du plan d’action, le projet procédera aussi, en ligne avec la stratégie de l’OIT concernant l’ACI II (‘’what works’’) à la génération de connaissance concernant les bonnes pratiques pour l’emploi des jeunes au Maroc à travers une revue documentaire et une analyse transversale, ainsi qu’au renforcement des capacités des mandants sur les bonnes pratiques en termes de priorisation de l’emploi des jeunes dans leur programmes. La mise en place de la SNE prendra en considération l’aspect « territorialisation de la politique de l’emploi » en initiant la réflexion sur le meilleur moyen de développer l’emploi au niveau régional/local.

The project will facilitate the process of promoting indigenous people’s rights for inclusive democracy and good governance in Bangladesh.
Promoting access to micro-insurance for financial inclusion and decent work – Phase II Expected Programme Framework Impact: Lack of access to micro-insurance products has been a strong obstacle in helping the poor, especially the rural households, to manage risks and vulnerability more efficiently, and to access and use agricultural credit with the ability to manage farming risks. Micro-insurance is in that context an important component of the new joint UNCDF/ILO Rural Finance Programme, a joint initiative of the UNCDF and the ILO that will support increased financial inclusion in Ethiopia. This Microinsurance Inception Phase will fund preparatory work in the area of micro-insurance that, while building upon the achievements and lessons from the initial UNCDF/ILO JP on microinsurance (2009-2015), will pave the way for a large scale programmatic agenda in the area of microinsurance under the new joint UNCDF/ILO Rural Finance Complementary Programme that has been approved by Government stakeholders and for which resource mobilization is in progress. Expected Inception Phase Outcome: The joint UNCDF/ILO Rural Finance Complementary program will incorporate microinsurance (especially rural / agriculture micro-insurance) in its design. The present initial funding will lay the required foundations – stakeholder consultation, evaluation of past pilots, designing farmer focused insurance approaches, assessing readiness of potential insurance providers, undertaking selected studies and preparing the incorporation of MI in the MAP process

Value Chain Analysis for Livelihood Promotion for Refugees in Costa Rica The objective of the assignment is to discover avenues for which refugees and asylum-seekers may find employment in Costa Rica by identifying and suggesting feasible interventions in the sector(s) that are most able to absorb them and lead to an improvement in livelihoods. This may include training opportunities, improved access to business development or financial services, enhanced access to information, etc., depending on what is identified as the biggest needs. The project also aligns with the CPO CRI131, which states that the country takes steps to develop the competitiveness and sustainability of enterprises and the environment as part of its strategy for employment generation and poverty reduction. The direct beneficiaries will be men and women working in the sector(s) identified as having the greatest potential to absorb and create decent work for refugees living in the country, which includes Costa Ricans as well as refugees. There will be two phases of the project, (i) a market assessment or sector selection exercise and (ii) a value chain analysis (VCA). The market assessment will investigate which sectors have the greatest potential for creating jobs for the target population, while also demonstrating high potential for growth. The VCA will then do a more in-depth analysis into the selected sector(s) to identify where in the value chain are the underlying constraints and opportunities. A training needs assessment (TNA) will run alongside the VCA to provide insight into the training needs of the target population. The research and analysis emerging from this project will lead to intervention strategies for increasing the number of decent work opportunities for refugee populations living in Costa Rica.

IMEC concept note for Post-Haiyan ILO livelihood recovery project Northern Cebu and Tacloban With limited funding and the local needs for continuing assistance, the geographical focus will be in Region 7 and Region 8. This focus also coincides with the Government National Rehabilitation and Recovery Framework and Plan for Business and Livelihoods (hereafter “the National Plan”). All of these regions also have significant potential in further economic development in the identified industry focuses where the ILO’s comparative advantages can be maximized as below. ILO will continue to work with victims of Haiyan in Coron, Region 4B, with funding from different donors. Background On November 8, 2013 Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines: cities, towns and communities across the Visayas region were destroyed; roads blocked, and airports and seaports impaired; water supply and power were cut, with much of the food stocks destroyed. In addition to the immediate humanitarian crisis, the disaster left 6 million people stripped of their primary sources of income overnight; 2.6 million of these were in vulnerable employment before the typhoon hit, living at or near the poverty line. One year on over 160,000 vulnerable workers have been assisted through short-term and immediate emergency employment for debris clearing and minor repairs. Over 166,000 individuals benefited from skills training and enterprise development support. Many roads and irrigation systems have been cleared and some public infrastructure has been restored. The magnitude of the work to be done on livelihood recovery and sustainable development continues. Providing immediate sources of income is not enough. Workers need long term employment opportunities with at least minimum wages, safe work environments, social security and heath and insurance coverage to ensure sustainable livelihoods. With the immediate emergency response completed the it is recognised that, during the rehabilitation and recovery post-Haiyan phase sustainable livelihoods, enhancing employability and capacitating local organisations for job creation is a priority.
Outcome 14_Sri Lanka: Freedom of Association Collective Bargaining, 2014-15 (Sida-ILO Partnership Programme 2014-17) The project Promoting the Right to Freedom of Association and the Right to Collective Bargaining- Sweden will be working with the tripartite constituents in twelve target countries (Bolivia, Brazil, China, Jordan, Kenya, Malawi, Niger, the Philippines, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Togo & Zambia) and at the global level to advance the realization of the ILO’s fundamental principles and rights of freedom of association and collective bargaining. At country level, the project will work towards an improved respect for freedom of association and collective bargaining rights in law and practice based on increased capacity, including in areas such as labour disputes prevention and resolution and data collection on violations of trade unionists’ civil liberties. It will also raise awareness and increase the knowledge on freedom of association and collective bargaining rights, both at the national and international level for the relevant tripartite constituents. While working at the country level, the project will focus in particular on three sectors: agriculture, mining and Ready-Made Garment (RMG). At the global level, the project will increase the knowledge base and capacity of the ILO to implement high impact strategies with a focus on two of the three sectors mentioned above. This project shares the same strategic approach to the promotion of freedom of association and collective bargaining rights as the complementary project GLO/14/61/NOR “Promoting the Right to Freedom of Association and the Right to Collective Bargaining – Phase II”. The two projects will be working jointly at all levels to achieve the Outputs and Objectives as per the below chart which outlines the project’s logic:

Strengthening labour inspection profile and workplace safety in Sindh for enhancing textile exports This proposal is prepared in response to the ‘Request for Proposal’ by the Embassy of Kingdom of the Netherlands in Islamabad on May 15, 2014 – to design a follow-up project to the Roundtable on ‘The Pakistani Textile Sector in the International Arena’ held on 24 May 2014. Pakistan is a major exporter of textile and garments in the world and particularly to the Europe, USA and other developed countries. However, with the increasing awareness about ethical sourcing and concern towards social compliance, the international buyers are increasingly demanding the Pakistani industries to abide by the international labour standards. The Government of Pakistan has ratified 34 ILO Conventions (out of total 189) and requires technical support in application of these Conventions and putting in place an appropriate institutional mechanism to inspect workplaces, provide technical advice and ensure compliance with international standards. Labour Inspection and Occupational Safety & Health are two critical areas where the Government requires a lot of support in terms of legislation, institutional capacity development, improving human resources and monitoring and reporting mechanisms. In order to enable the Pakistani industries to improve their production practices, ensure compliance with Labour Standards and ensure a systematic monitoring, inspection and reporting, the Government of Sindh in collaboration with Workers’ and Employers’ Organizations has developed a ‘Joint Action Plan to Promote Workplace Safety and Health in Sindh’. The proposed project is designed to roll out the Joint Action Plan (JAP) and will help in preparing foundational work for the medium-to-long term activities in the JAP. The proposed activities include: a. Undertake a Labour Inspection and OSH Profile; b. Foundational Training Course for all Labour Inspectors in Sindh; c. and Dissemination event
