The proposed programme will be delivered through a partnership between the UN Agencies of IOM, ILO, OHCHR, and ESCAP. Platform on Disaster Displacement and Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat will be non-UN implementing partners. Objective 1: Pacific communities and governments demonstrate strengthened capacity and coordination through a human security-based response to climate change and disaster-related migration, displacement, and planned relocation; Objective 2: Migrants and communities in the Pacific Island Countries benefit from safe labor migration as a sustainable development and climate change adaptation strategy; Objective 3: Contribute to the evidence-base on good practices in responding to climate change and disaster-related migration, displacement, and planned relocation with particular focus on the role of the human security framework.
Strengthening labour market information systems and methodologies for post disaster needs assessments in the Pacific island countries (LMIA4PDNA) The project's objectives are to improved national labour statistics supporting Employment, Livelihoods and Social Protection Sector (ELSP) indicators of the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA). This is achieved directly by the ILO and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) through the National Statistics Office, through a mixture of full Pacific Labour Force Survey (LFS) roll out for some countries and labour market update using recent surveys for the rest of the countries. The project will also increase the capacity of ILO constituents to conduct ELSP assessments of the PDNA. The direct recipients will use the update labour statistics as baselines in the training to develop credible PDNA and recovery frameworks. Finally the project will establish formal systems and process for engagement of ILO tripartite constituents, including national statistics offices, in national PDNA and recovery efforts. Based on the learnings from the national training coupled with national experiences in past disasters, direct recipients will develop and formalize a national system and processes that will allow effective engagement in future disasters.
Promotion of Decent Work Opportunities for the economic empowerment of vulnerable segments of society This is an innovative project to support jobs creation and promote decent work in Pakistan. The Project comprises of three main components, including: (a) strengthening national capacities to effectively eliminate exploitative labour practices (child and bonded labour); (b) strengthening cooperation between labour market institutions of Pakistan & Afghanistan for enhancing decent jobs for Afghan Refugees; and (c) engaging Pakistani diaspora in Italy for jobs creation and entrepreneurship promotion in Pakistan. The Project will build upon the previous work done by ILO and ISCOS for elimination of child and bonded labour in Pakistan and will consolidate previous efforts for sustainability. The project will also explore potential to provide decent work opportunities for around 3 million Afghan Refugees living in Pakistan by examining their existing working conditions and engaging with relevant authorities in Afghanistan to extend their support to Afghan Refugees in Pakistan. Likewise, the Project will explore the potential of engaging Pakistani diaspora in Italy for their contribution towards youth employment, entrepreneurship, skills development and other areas of decent work. The project will be funded by Italian Agency for Development Cooperation and will be implemented with an Italian Civil Society Organization, ISCOS along with Government, Employers and Workers organizations.
Advancing Decent Work and Inclusive Industrialization in Ethiopia This intervention is a comprehensive and coordinated ILO response to a need expressed by the Ethiopian constituents and other key industry stakeholders to advance decent work and inclusive industrialization in key priority sectors identi-fied in the Second Ethiopian Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II). A commitment to the textile and garment sector is part of Ethiopia’s broad Industrial Development Strategic Plan (2013-2025) to propel the country to middle-income status over the next decade. There are significant challenges for Ethiopia to overcome as they strive to achieve this plan. Productivity in the sector is low, and low productivity is often associated with low wages and poor working conditions making the sector less desira-ble for workers. High labour turn-over rates and absentee rates perpetuate and compound these challenges. The support-ing value chains are also challenged by low productivity and decent work deficits. The intervention will be implemented in two five-year phases. The first phase will focus on the textile and apparel sector. In the second phase, the ILO’s support will be expanded further down the supply chain to include cotton production and processing. The intention is to also develop and refine intervention models that could be replicated in other sectors such as construction and agriculture to potentially also move into these sectors in phase two. In addition, the intervention will maintain close links to ILO’s ongoing support efforts to the implementation of the government’s Jobs Compact which will expand employment opportunities to refugees, including in identified industrial sectors, among them textile and ap-parel. The intervention will contribute to Outcome 1, 4 and 7 of the ILO’s 2018-19 Programme and Budget and to the Decent Work Country Programme outcomes ETH127 and ETH176.
El païs, con apoyo de la OIT, desarrolla estrategias y programas de generacion de empleo productivo y trabajo decente y la mejora de las competencias profesionales, a través del fortacimiento institucionaly el diàlogo tripartito This RBSA-funded intervention aims at generating productive employment and promoting decent work for youth in Haiti. Tripartite partners are capacitated to design, through dialogue, a national action plan for youth employment, and competent national institutions are supported to develop a vocational training programme and a pilot programme to generate green jobs for youth in Port-au-Prince. The intervention strategy is guided by the Transition from the Informal to the Formal Economy Recommendation, 2015 (No. 204), the Employment and Decent Work for Peace and Resilience Recommendation, 2017 (No. 205), the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and the Resolution “The youth employment crisis: A call for action” adopted by the International Labour Conference in 2012. This intervention contributes to the country’s efforts to attain the following SDG targets: 1.5 (By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters); 8.3 (Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage the formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, including through access to financial services); 8.6 (By 2020, substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training); 8.8 (Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women migrants, and those in precarious employment); and 8.b (By 2020, develop and operationalize a global strategy for youth employment and implement the Global Jobs Pact of the ILO).

Strengthening world of work response to HIV and AIDS in India 19 The ILO will make specific contributions to fill the testing gap by promoting Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT@Work) in some key sectors (Hospitality, Diamond, Transport, Textiles, Agriculture and mining) and also promote a Stigma free work environment, with a focus on health care workplaces by identifying and promoting non-discriminatory practices against those affected by HIV. A small pilot on HIV self-testing will also be undertaken to fill the testing gap.
Building the capacity of Lybian constituents and national actors to address unacceptable forms of work and promote fair and effective labour migration policies Libya is engaging in a long process of reconstruction following an extended period of crisis and conflict. This requires addressing important decent work-related challenges, including labour migration, forced and child labour and unemployment. Effectively tackling these challenges contributes to breaking the vicious cycle of lack of economic opportunities for many, which in turn often leads to further conflict, instability or social unrest. This RBSA-funded initiative seeks to address existing unacceptable forms of work (child labour, forced labour and trafficking), strengthen governance of labour migration and reinforce the role of workers’ and employers’ organizations in the definition of social and economic policies through social dialogue. Some of the key deliverables are: a plan to address child labour and forced labour, a road map for a fair national labour migration policy and the development of national and local capacities in labour administration, labour market assessment and governance of labour migration. The intervention also promotes social dialogue and supports the role of the social partners in conflict resolution, stability and investment policies in Libya. This intervention contributes to SDG targets 8.7 (take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms) and 10.7 (facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies).
Advancing Workers' Rights in Indonesia's Palm Oil Sector Drawing from the ILO’s extensive experience in technical cooperation initiatives on the promotion of decent work in the rural economy, and in particular the agro-food sector, and taking into consideration the multifaceted nature of challenges faced by workers at the base of agricultural supply chains, the proposed project aims at promoting sustainable rural livelihoods and decent work through improved access to labour rights in Indonesia’s palm oil supply chain. The project’s objective is to ensure that, after two years, Indonesian unions in the palm oil supply chain effectively advocate for their members’ access to fundamental workers’ rights, in particular freedom of association and collective bargaining. This initiative, which builds on the ongoing ILO work in Indonesia’s palm oil sector, will help to improve workers’ access to labour rights – and, correspondingly, to better-quality jobs – contribute to improved compliance, through strengthened capacity of enterprises to implement core labour standards and national labour laws, and to expanded rule of law at both national and local levels. It will do so by inter alia promoting social dialogue and strengthening the capacity of unions to effectively engage in it with employers and government and advocate for their members; supporting the strengthening and enforcement of national legislation on labour issues and collecting and disseminating knowledge on employment and labour issues in the palm oil supply chain. The project will focus on A. Generating in-depth knowledge about opportunities and challenges for the promotion of freedom of association and collective bargaining and effective social dialogue in the sector. B. Strengthening national-level coordination and engagement among trade unions in the palm oil supply chain, as well as their capacity to advocate for their members, through the effective functioning of the national palm oil union network. The overall focus is on institutional capacity building of labour movement actors at the national level and will include needs-based training and education programmes for trainers from federations/confederations. C. Enhancing capacity at enterprise/local level of labour unions and workers in the sectors/sub-sectors of the palm oil supply chain, in particular plantation workers, to ensure that they can advocate for and access their rights. D. Facilitating sound industrial relations through strengthened capacity of the tripartite constituents to participate meaningfully in social dialogue. Thus, in addition to workers, the project will target employers’ and government institutions. Training programmes and courses as well as a series of bipartite and tripartite dialogue forums will be organized at national and provincial levels.

Les capacités des organisations d'employeurs et de travailleurs de participer efficacement à l'élaboration des politiques sociales et du travail sont accrues This RBSA-funded intervention focuses on developing the capacity of the social partners to become stronger and more representative and to participate effectively in the processes of developing, implementing or monitoring the National Employment Policy, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) and the Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) 2018-2021. The strategy also includes components relating to the promotion of employment-intensive investment programmes and entrepreneurship and strengthening the social partners’ knowledge and capacities so as to better influence strategic orientations in these areas, particularly with a view to greater opportunities for decent job creation. The initiative will be implemented with the close involvement of the Ministry of Labor, Solidarity, Family and Vocational Training, the Ministry for Public Works, Infrastructure, Natural Resources and Environment, the Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development, the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of Sao Tomé and Principe, the General Workers Union of Sao Tome and Principe, the National Organization of Workers- Sao Tomé and Principe, the National Institute of Social Security and the National Institute of Statistics. By stimulating the growth of micro, small and medium enterprises and creating decent jobs, the results of the intervention will contribute towards several SDG targets, including SDG target 8.2 (Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high-value added and labour-intensive sectors), SDG target 8.3 (Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage the formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, including through access to financial services) and SDG target 8.5 (By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value).

Support to enhancing labour inspection effectiveness and OSH in the Occupied Palestinian Territory The project is part of the second Palestinian Decent Work Programme, which articulates the strategic framework for ILO interventions at the national level for the years 2018-22. Specifically, work in the area of labour inspection and OSH falls under the first priority of the DWCP related to strengthening labour governance and the realization of fundamental principles and rights at work through improved social dialogue mechanisms. It contributes to the achievement of DWCP outcome 1.3: “Workplace compliance is improved to better protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers in line with national laws and regulations and international standards, through strengthened labour inspection and increased preventative OSH culture”.
Local Investmeent for Transformation (LIFT-Somalia) The 3rd phase of the Joint Programme on Local Governance (JPLG) will focus on creating an enabling environment for improved service delivery and greater stability, through improved legal, policy and system frameworks – building the knowledge of those working in and with local governments. Greater attention will be given to the inclusion of the marginalized and women. The programme aims to achieve three outcomes: Outcome 1: Policy, legal and regulatory frameworks on local governance finalized: - Policy and legislative frameworks for functional, fiscal and administrative decentralization clarify the role of local governments and their relationship to federal/central and state governments, with a view to attaining improved service delivery and stability. Outcome 2: Local governments’ have the capacity to deliver equitable and sustainable services, promote economic development and peace:- Building on the successes and lessons from previous phases, JPLG will consolidate, harmonize and systematize, its capacity enhancement approaches – bearing in mind the different contexts under which it operates. In Somaliland, the focus will be to empower Local Government Institute (LGIs) as drivers of capacity building initiatives. In Puntland, and the new states the programme will work with the Ministries of Interior and other partner ministries to streamline capacity development initiatives while, putting in place mechanisms to operationalise the recently approved National Local Government Capacity Development Policy (see Annex 3). It will focus on supporting capacity development beyond JPLG districts and apply capacity development lessons from Puntland to boost the new FMSs and BRA. In the new federal member states, the program will build local governments’ capacity to deliver equitable services, deepen stabilization and contribute to economic recovery. Outcome 3: Local governments demonstrate improved engagement of citizens, with an emphasis on women and marginalized groups:-The aim of JPLG III is to promote citizen engagement, gender equity and social inclusion, through efforts to strengthen key local governance policies, structures and processes. Barriers to women’s advancement in public administration, denial of opportunities for citizens, particularly traditionally marginalized individuals and groups, to take part in, and benefit from, local decision-making, all serve to undermine the principles of equal opportunity and social justice that are the bedrock of inclusive development and democratic governance – while retaining a driver of conflict. The funds received under DFID are to support activities under Outcome 2, in addition these activities are under ‘Outcome 3: Sustainable local government investment vehicles are identified, designed and operated’, in the Local Investment for Transformation in Somalia (LIFT-Somali) agreement with UNCDF.

Application of Migration Policy for Decent Work for Migrant Workers – Phase II This project builds on the success of “Promoting Decent Work through improved Migration Policy and its Application in Bangladesh”, operated during 2011-2015, which supported Bangladesh to launch and accelerate development in three areas: policy frameworks; operational effectiveness; and social protection. Later, the “Application of Migration Policy for Decent Work of Migrant Workers (BGD/15/01/SDC)”, operating during 2016-2018, built on that foundation to support the Government to move into full implementation of its policies and its progressive new Overseas Employment and Migration Act, 2013. The current project constitutes a continuation of the work under the previous phase (BGD/15/01/SDC). ILO thus continues to provide research and technical advisory support, facilitate social dialogue and stakeholder engagement, and support the implementation of pilots to test a range of strategies for migrant worker’s education, support and re-entry into the Bangladesh labour market. The project strengthens the overall policy and governance framework for migration; improving the institutions responsible for managing migration; and supports the development of expanded services to migrant workers.
