Addressing labour market challenges to equal opportunities and treatment for women in Tunisia The overall objective of this project is to promote Tunisian women’s participation in the economy. Achieving impact on such an issue requires a long term engagement. This note describes a one-year project with specific outputs to be achieved during this duration. Further work, beyond this initial phase is foreseen subject to the availability of further resources from Norway (and/or other donors). This work will build in particular on the design of Tunisia’s National Employment Policy that the ILO is currently helping with (with Norway’s financial support). The project will pursue this overall objective through three complementary pillars. First, the low participation rate of women in Tunisia is a factor of its economic policy environment. In the first year the project will focus on the private investment regime, and to which extent fiscal incentives are conducive to employment creation including for women. Secondly, the project will appraise from a gender perspective the package of public services and subsidies that are made available in Tunisia to support the unemployed. Thirdly, the project will support key organisations involved in women’s entrepreneurship.

Support to Resettlement and Reconciliation through the United Nations Joint Programme for Peace Under the framework of the UN’s Joint Programme for Peace (JPP), this proposal aims to provide timely and strategically focused assistance towards two peacebuilding priorities that tackle core grievances of the minority Tamil community. The interventions contribute towards securing and sustaining the peacebuilding process, through helping to build trust and confidence amongst the Tamil community in the direction in which the country is moving.The JPP is a new and innovative initiative, launched in April 2019 by the Government of Sri Lanka and the UN. The two selected interventions under this proposal each capitalise on work already underway, draw on lessons learned from earlier interventions, and build on well-established partnerships between the UN and the Government. Within the time frame of eighteen months, the UN will look to deliver high impact results by supporting the two interventions below: i) Scaling-up ongoing livelihood support through engaging cooperatives and the private sector, as part of a holistic package of resettlement assistance designed to enable dignified and sustainable returns for lands released by the military; and ii) Kickstarting the process of working in a joined-up way on reconciliation, through the introduction of an innovative service tracking tool to monitor and incentivise improvements in ability of front-line institutions to deliver public services in the Tamil language.

EU-ILO collaboration in the monitoring of labour aspects in the implementation of the EU’s rules of origin initiative for Jordan – Phase II (COMPONENT - Syrian) On July 19, 2016, Jordan and the European Union signed a trade agreement that simplified the rules of origin (RoO) requirements stated in the existing EU-Jordan Association Agreement. The 10-year simplified RoO initiative for Jordan was a component of the EU’s broader response to the ongoing Syria crisis and support to Jordan. The trade agreement expected to facilitate Jordanian companies’ access to the EU market, thereby diversifying exports, boosting investment and generating decent work opportunities for Jordanians and Syrians. In response to the provisions set forward under the simplified RoO and in support of the objectives of the Jordan Compact, the Ministry of Labour (MoL), the EU and the ILO signed a collaboration agreement to implement the scheme and ensure decent working conditions in the appropriate production facilities. The first phase provided an overall framework for the ILO to support, monitor and provide technical assistance to Jordan in context to the simplified RoO and its response for the Syria crisis. The current project constitutes a second phase to this collaboration. During Phase I, the ILO partnered with national stakeholders and the private sector to strengthen capacity and facilitate decent job creation for Jordanians and Syrians. Actions were taken to build communication networks between job seekers and private sector companies through employment services. The action also built on the existing cooperation between the ILO and the MoL and supported Better Work Jordan’s expansion to non-garment sectors. In Phase II, the ILO is scaling up work done in Phase I, with a view to advance opportunities under the ROO agreement. Five Employment Centres across Jordan are continuously operated and facilitate more efficient job matching through introduction of the E-Counselling platform. Opportunities for Jordanian companies qualifying for export under the ROO are facilitated. Better Work Jordan, in collaboration with the MoL, monitors the RoO authorised enterprises using the assessment tools customised during the first phase. In addition, phase II builds on other ongoing initiatives, such as the annual Buyers’ Forum, to raise awareness and enhance communication with buyers and investors.
Access to justice in labour disputes through mediation and conciliation The overall objective of the project is fair, fast and inclusive access to justice in labour disputes for all, including vulnerable categories of workers (youth, old, informal, women, low skilled). The intervention strategy focuses on the following outcomes: 1) increased effectiveness of labour dispute mediation and conciliation services, 2) increased use of alternative resolution of labour disputes by workers, employers and their organizations; 3) increased application of international labour standards by national judges dealing with labour litigations; 4) dispute prevention policies developed and introduced at enterprise level; and 5) improved negotiations and dispute prevention skills of would be workers and employers. Albania has made efforts to improve the system of prevention and out of court resolution of labour disputes, however several legal and practical challenges of the existing system limit its effectiveness, use and outreach. The project supports the Albanian stakeholders (government, social partners, National Labour Council, labour dispute mediators and conciliators and other relevant dispute resolution institutions, including the judiciary) to revisit the current system and devise measures to increase its effectiveness and outreach. The project also builds the capacity of the government and the social partners to operationalize an independent, impartial, free of charge, and speedy extra-judicial mechanism for labour dispute resolution and create a specialized corpus of labour mediators, conciliators and arbitrators. Furthermore, it assists the Government and the social partners to promote the advantages of amicable settlement of labour disputes and improve negotiation and dispute prevention skills of would be workers and employers. At the same time, the project enhances the knowledge and application of international labour standards by national judges handling labour disputes. Gender equality, non-discrimination and workplace harassment policies and measures are cross-cutting the project goals and activities so as to advance workplace equality between men and women through social dialogue. The project is aligned with the second priority of the 2017–2021 Decent Work Country Programme for Albania and the third outcome of the 2017–2021 One UN Programme of Cooperation for Sustainable Development and it contributes toward the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 8.
Improving social health protection for refugees UNHCR works closely with partners who implement health programs in line with the organization’s Public Health Strategy 2014-2018. While UNHCR often works with partner organizations to ensure health care for refugees, the agency advocates for the inclusion of refugees in national health systems and encourages governments to allow refugees to access available health services, on par with what nationals use. There may often initially be barriers to accessing public services though: cost, ineligibility to benefit from social protection services, or exclusion from services. The integration of refugees into national systems is generally regarded as a win-win, as it fosters peaceful coexistence, self-reliance and resilience. Through its Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF), UNHCR strives to reach from the New York Declaration in 2016 to the Global Compact on Refugees, thereby bringing together State and non-state stakeholders to deliver an integrated response to refugees and host communities, driving forward the agenda of the SDGs in an equitable and predictable way. On 1 July 2016, UNHCR and the ILO signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), at ILO headquarters, designed to engender a new and deeper phase of collaboration between the two organizations in eight common priority areas, including the extension of social protection. The agreement focuses on long-term solutions for refugees and others displaced by conflict and persecution. A Plan of Action in order to implement the MoU is currently under development.
