Contribution à la réduction de la pauvreté par la promotion de l’emploi des jeunes - Phase 2 - CREPEJ 2 Le projet prend en considération les stratégies adoptées par le PNUD et le BIT suivantes : ­ Mise en place et consolidation des systèmes régionaux d’information sur l’emploi des jeunes : Le système d’information à mettre en place au niveau des deux régions sera un outil pertinent et permanent pour faciliter la rencontre entre l’offre et la demande d’emplois, pour disposer et diffuser toutes les informations sur l’emploi des jeunes au niveau régional ­ Renforcement des capacités des jeunes : La stratégie à adopter ici consiste à dispenser une formation intégrée en faveur des jeunes cibles. Outre la formation technique dans leurs domaines respectifs (artisanat, pêche, tourisme et autres secteurs à identifier), le projet adopte aussi une approche intégrée combinant des modules de formation en éducation civique/leadership, entrepreneuriat, de renforcement de leurs capacités en matière d’embauche ­ Adoption de l’approche filière et de chaîne de valeur : Actuellement, les activités économiques exercées par la population locale au niveau des régions se limitent à la vente des produits bruts et ce sont surtout les collecteurs qui en profitent. Le projet vise alors à aider les jeunes à créer une valeur ajoutée dans leurs activités en développant les métiers dans les filières choisies, notamment la pêche, l’artisanat, le tourisme et d’autres secteurs à identifier. ­ Adoption du système « Cash for training » : Comme le projet cible des jeunes en situation de pauvreté et de vulnérabilité, l’adoption de ce système leur permet de s’investir dans les formations et de constituer leur épargne. ­ Promotion de l’entrepreneuriat des jeunes qui consiste à stimuler l’esprit entrepreneurial au niveau des régions ciblées. Dans cette optique, il convient d’apporter des appuis technique et financier à la création de micro et petites entreprises en : (i) organisant des séances de sensibilisation, de conseil et de formation sur l’esprit d’entreprise et renforcer les capacités des jeunes en matière de montage de projets ; (ii) accompagnant les jeunes dans l’élaboration de leur plan d’affaires ; (iii) leur donnant les orientations et appuis nécessaires au financement de leurs projets à partir des épargnes constituées sachant que les IMF prendront en charge les jeunes une fois qu’ils auront leurs plans d’affaires ; (iv) assurant un suivi des entreprises créées pour garantir la viabilité des exploitations en notant que les remboursements des crédits seront suivis par les IMF

UNPRPD R1 – Phase 2 Support: Promoting rights of people with disabilities in Indonesia The project will be implemented by UNESCO, in close consultation with the Working Group on Human Rights – a thematic WG of the UN Country Team that brings together most of the resident UN agencies as its members, and is chaired by UNESCO. The group will have quarterly meetings, which will be used to monitor the progress of the project and to explore possibilities of cooperation with the activities of the other UN agencies in this field. Through the Human Rights Working Group, UNESCO will work with two key partner agencies – ILO and WHO, to add value to the capacity-building workshops for the local stakeholders: • ILO, building on its previous achievements in increasing the institutional capacities of DPOs to promote the disability rights as enshrined in the UNCRPD, will provide expertise and resources for the training and open dialogue modules as part of the Network’s capacity-building. The modules will focus on priority issues identified by the specific municipalities and local DPOs, such as: Disability and Employment; Finance and Budgeting for Non-Profit Organizations; Communication, Negotiation and Presentation Skills (Media Training); Project Cycle management (PCM); UNCRPD and Legal Framework for Disability in Indonesia. • WHO, using its experience within the Phase I on strengthening the capacity of the national stakeholders for disability data collection, and developing a data collection module for national bureau of statistics (BPS), will shift the focus to the municipal level to build the capacity of local institutions and authorities in using data for effective policy design and implementation. Towards this end, it will develop a disability data module, based on the one developed for BPS and on the internationally standardized methodology, as part of the joint capacity-building interventions targeting the Network of Mayors for Inclusive Cities and the relevant local DPOs. UNESCO will liaise with the government of Indonesia at the national level, as well as with the municipal authorities on the local level. It will facilitate the consolidation of the network through the elements designed to ensure its cohesion and sustainability (such as the Charter, the Secretariat, and the Achievement Recognition Scheme). It will also ensure the expansion of the Network by assisting the newly established Secretariat in promoting the Network nationally, by organizing the High Level Meetings of Mayors and by inviting to them prospective new members. UNESCO Office in Jakarta will also work closely with the Headquarters (Section of Research, Policy and Foresight, Sector for Social and Human Sciences) on the incorporation of the policy outputs of this project into the global policy tool – Inclusive Policy Laboratory.
Supporting livelihoods for fishermen and their families in the Gaza strip The agriculture and fishing sector in Gaza have been the most affected from the military operations and the continued blockade. The ILO is seeking to be involved in socio-economic recovery in Gaza; and the fishery sector was identified as an entry point for action. Using participatory value chain analysis and a series of training activities that are adapted to the needs of individuals, groups, and associations in the fishery sector, the project will facilitate the development of Gaza fishery sector recovery plan. It will also foster dialogue among the different sector’s stakeholders. The project is a pilot which can become, few months down the line, an inception phase of a more long term oriented recovery programme in Gaza that would result in the creation of decent work opportunities. The proposed project is in line with the ILO’s “Decent Work for Food Security” strategy (DW4FS), which aims to promote food security and sustainable livelihoods of workers and their families through enhanced decent work conditions and opportunities in critical agro-food value chains

Outcome 10: Thematic funding for 2014-15 (Norway-ILO Partnership Programme 2012-15) The project Trade Unions for Social Justice – phase II will assist the labour movement to overcome such obstacles through outputs aimed at empowering workers’ organization through capacity building and at the same time increasing their influence on policies pertaining to labour and rights. The implementing partners will be national centre trade unions, and through them supporting partnerships with other relevant stakeholders. When applicable, the implementation will seek to bring the various trade unions together in platforms, allowing the activities to have positive side effects through effectively building and maintaining arenas of confidence building within the labour movement. The light earmarking allows the ILO to implement the Project in line with the identified needs of the constituency, rather than a top-down thematic approach. The Immediate Objectives are: I.O.1: Improved capacity of national trade unions in the areas of collective bargaining, trade union services, gender equality and participation in the DWCPs; I.O.2: Strengthened national trade union platforms and regional networks to enhance union influence on national policies.
