Enhancing the employability of engineering students and graduates in Gaza through better linkages with the private sector Through a partnership with the Islamic University of Gaza, this 14-month ILO project will support the establishment of an Industry and Community Liaison Center (IUGIC) that will connect the university engineering departments with the private sector. This will be achieved through: (a) providing technical assistance to the private sector with experts from IUG, with a focus on promoting innovation and sharing of know-how in reconstruction; (b) ensuring the participation of the private sector for the upgrading and validation of curricula and their implementation with structured apprenticeships; and (c) facilitating the transition of graduates to the world of work through counselling and job matching.
Outcome 5.ZAMBIA: Working Conditions, 2014-15 (Sida-ILO Partnership Programme 2014-17) Low wages, instability of earnings and overall poor working conditions tend to be concentrated within certain groups of workers (disproportionately women and members of socially disadvantaged groups) and in some sectors, such as domestic work. The ultimate objective of this programme is improved, more equitable working and living standards for workers especially those in vulnerable situations. The programme achieves this by strengthening the capacities of national governments, workers’ and employers’ organizations, and other governance institutions to assess, design and implement effective policies, laws and programmes concerning wages and earnings, working time and other conditions of work. ILO assistance operates at two levels: (i) country level, consisting of direct assistance to national constituents, tailored to specific needs and opportunities; and (ii) global level, building the knowledge base and policy tools necessary for understanding issues and alternative policy measures, which policy- and decision-makers and ILO specialists could use. Countries assisted under the Sida programme in 2014-15 are: Cape Verde, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Tanzania and Zambia.

Skill and employment baseline assessment of Indigenous and Tribal peoples in Bangladesh The absence of accurate data and information interrupts the holistic development of ITPs in Bangladesh. So the proposed study will provide concrete household information and status of ITPs through which their socio-economic conditions including skills development initiatives will be taken and linked with the job market. In addition to knowledge development to inform policy debates, there is a need to build the capacity of, and promote dialogue and partnerships among key stakeholders on Conventions Nos. 107, 111, 122, 142 and 169 on ITPs’ issues in the country, including ILO constituents and indigenous peoples’ institutions. In August 2013, the first ever high-level tripartite workshop on indigenous peoples’ employment situation in the country took place, with participation from the government, employers and workers’ organizations. On that occasion, the social partners highlighted their limited capacity in understanding indigenous peoples’ issues and requested the ILO to continue working with them on this issue. Gender and diversity mainstreaming will be one of the core strategies of implementing this project. This action will feature the involvement of indigenous women and indigenous persons with disabilities. The representation of indigenous women and indigenous persons with disabilities will be ensured in household interviews, focus group discussions and during key informant interviews throughout the project tenure. The collected data will be synthesized through a gender lens. As a part of its strategy, the project will ensure participation of indigenous and tribal peoples in the project design and implementation stages so that they can take ownership of this project and are able to incorporate their voices and concerns at the final outcome of this study. Local government officials and representatives of the ITPs will be consulted at the national level through appropriate institutional mechanism. This will facilitate smooth data collection process and will enable the study team to gain valuable access to the private and public institutions.
