Tenth actuarial valuation of the Social Security Fund in response to Section 82 of the Social Security Act 1696. This is a periodical actuarial valuation, held at least once every three years, in response to Section 82 of the Social Security Act 1969. Some recommendations are periodical, but important, for example, the periodical benefit increase based on the actuarial valuations; some past recommendations are not yet implemented and are to be reconsidered (e.g. contribution rate increase of the Invalidity Benefit Branch); and some new recommendations may arise out of the recent changes of the social and economic environments. There are all examined in details by ILO international experts in collaboration with the Government staff, mainly SOCSO staff, and a draft report will be discussed in the Tripartite SOCSO Board with the participation of the social partners. The main component of the strategy is the analysis and the recommendations to be provided for the Board’s discussions. As the scheme was set up based on the ILO recommendations and by taking into account major features of the ILO Convention 102 (Minimum standard for social security benefits), new recommendations will be formulated on the principles of the ILO Social Security Conventions and Recommendations and inform the social partners of the importance of using the ILO Conventions and Recommendations as yardsticks for policy formulations. The study of course will examine the gender responsiveness and fairness of the social security coverage and the benefit adequacy from the viewpoint of gender equality.

Joint programme Support to low carbon climate resilient development for poverty reduction in Kenya The Government of Kenya recognizes the importance of climate change (CC) impacts on Kenya’s development and risks towards achieving Vision 2030 as highlighted in the National Climate Change Response Strategy 2010. It is a cross-cutting issue that affects all sectors and segments of Kenya’s urban and rural populations. The National Climate Change Action Plan 2013-2017 (NCCAP) stipulates the need to mainstream CC adaptation and mitigation measures in national and county planning and budgeting processes and in all sectors of the economy as a means to further Kenya’s people-centered development strategy. The NCCAP background briefings and studies clearly identify the needs of Government, private sector and the CSOs to successfully implement the NCCAP and result in meaningful change towards a low carbon, resilient development pathway for the benefit of Kenyans. This consolidated UN Proposal will contribute to this end. The UN programme consists of six outputs which will contribute towards achieving the intended outcome and objectives. The primary beneficiaries of the project will be members of the Kenya population; particularly those who are most strongly impacted by increasing climate variability as a result of long-term climate change.

UNDAP - Social protection The United Nations Development Assistance Plan (UNDAP) is the business plan of 20 UN agencies, funds and programmes in Tanzania for the period July 2011 to June 2015. This 'One Plan' for Tanzania supports the achievement of the international development goals, the Millennium Declaration and related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), national development priorities which are consistent with the MDGs, and the realisation of international human rights in the country, including the right to humanitarian assistance for refugees. The implementation modalities within Delivering as One (DaO) ensure efficiency and reduction in costs whilst minimising unnecessary duplication of effort in interactions between the UN and national systems. The programme focuses on strengthening the country's enabling environment for the fulfilment of human rights and pro-poor growth, building national capacity to deliver basic services while increasing coverage and quality, and responding quickly through humanitarian assistance which is tied to long-term development objectives. With the exception of direct programme delivery in emergency and refugee assistance and school feeding (5 percent of UNDAP key actions), UNDAP strengthens and builds national capacities of state and non-state actors in policy and programme implementation, budgeting and strategic financial allocation, monitoring, evaluation and resource mobilisation. UNDAP supports and contributes to the three clusters of MKUKUTA and MKUZA II. In Cluster 1, UNDAP proposes support for capacity development aimed at strengthening the key drivers of inclusive pro-poor economic growth, including pro-poor sector policies, agro-productivity and manufacturing linkages enhancement, improved employment opportunities and productivity of low-income entrepreneurs and wage earners, greater human development outcomes from trade, environmental and climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies (23 percent of UNDAP total programme budget). The UN plan in Cluster 2 targets enhancements of sector partner capacities in Education, Health and Nutrition, HIV and AIDS, WASH and Social Protection for sustained and rapid achievement of the MDGs (42 percent of UNDAP total programme budget). The UN programme for Cluster 3 addresses the enabling environment for development - effective governance and delivery of public services, democracy, and further fulfilment of the GoT's international treaty obligations, emergency preparedness and response, and continued solution-focussed assistance to refugees (35 percent of UNDAP total programme budget).

Community-based Reintegration of Children and Youth Affected by Armed Conflict through Local Economic Empowerment Children will be referred to ILO from UNICEF and its partners, and after an initial assessment of basic needs and interests, the ILO will undertake an in-depth and more technical needs assessment which will serve as a baseline for interventions. The needs assessment will review individual needs of children, the socio-economic status of the families; and the community-based requirements. This will be undertaken through a participatory process where the aspirations of children will be balanced with realities on the ground through a process of robust dialogue with all concerned parties. This thorough assessment will ensure that children are placed in the most suitable economic empowerment service for them. It is emphasized that girls and boys below the national minimum age of employment (14 years) will be not be referred to ILO programs but to educational programs by UNICEF and its partners. The project will undertake a comprehensive exploration of the economic opportunities and the training facilities available in the local communities identified as most vulnerable and where children and youth affected by armed conflicts need to be reintegrated. Given the poor state of formal labour markets in post-conflict situations and the low educational and skills level of most of the children and youth affected by armed conflicts, “job” and training opportunities will also be oriented towards opportunities to make a living within the “informal” economy. As in the past, the project will thus identify activities for which there is a demand in the local market, for example as there is a demand for shelter, all construction related skills are in demand. However, it will also try to identify specific, innovative “niches” which are expected to be profitable, for example food processing.

Employment promotion in disaster response The overall objective of this Project is to contribute to the recovery, reconstruction and development of areas struck by natural disasters in disaster-prone countries in Asia and the Pacific including the Philippines. The project will support ILO to strengthen, promote and disseminate its overall approach which entails immediate employment support during the emergency phase that transitions into medium-term livelihood recovery during the recovery phase. To achieve this objective, the Project takes a three-pronged strategy. The first component of the strategy is to learn from recent disaster response in the Region and in particular from the integration of employment promotion strategies in disaster response programmes and the impact of such strategies in a number of selected countries including the Philippines. It will support knowledge sharing of employment-focused disaster risk reduction and recovery throughout the Asia and Pacific region based on lessons learned from selected countries and through the development of knowledge products. The second component will support the ILO at regional level to formulate a natural disaster response strategy with employment creation at its core. The project will allow the ILO to engage with other stakeholders in the Region and promote its employment creation strategies with the objective to mainstream employment creation and livelihood recovery in crisis response. The third component will support selected countries in the Region, including the Philippines, to plan, mainstream and implement employment creation strategies in crisis response programmes and projects. The Project will allow the ILO to take on a pro-active role in coordinating and promoting employment creation in case a natural disaster occurs in the region during the project period and international support is requested.
