Appui à l’organe de gestion globale des outils ISPA pour le développement et l’application des outils techniques interinstitutionnels pour l’évaluation des systèmes de protection sociale dans le cadre des engagements du SPIAC-B Appui à l’organe de gestion global des outils ISPA pour le développement et l’application des outils techniques interinstitutionnels pour l’évaluation des systèmes de protection sociale dans le cadre des engagements du SPIAC-B Pays:Global et applications au niveau des pays à être confirmés (Afrique, Moyen-Orient, Asie et Amérique latine) Résultat P&B: Résultat 4 - Sécurité sociale : Un plus grand nombre de personnes ont accès à des prestations de sécurité sociale mieux gérées et plus respectueuses de l’égalité entre les sexes ; et le Domaine de Première Importance sur les socles nationaux de protection sociale (ACI 3/GLO301) Résultat PPTD: Produit global (GLO 301) et Résultats de Programmes par Pays (CPO en anglais) pour les applications au niveau des pays à être confirmés Aujourd’hui, bien qu’un consensus fort reconnaisse l’importance de la protection sociale comme l’un des fondements d’une mondialisation durable, trois personnes sur quatre dans le monde ne bénéficient toujours pas d’un niveau décent de protection sociale. Garantir un niveau de base de protection sociale et une vie décente pour ces personnes — parmi lesquelles beaucoup luttent pour survivre — est une priorité sociale, économique et politique, mais aussi un droit humain et une obligation morale. Tel est l’objectif de l’Initiative conjointe des Nations Unies pour un socle de protection sociale (SPS Le présent projet s’inscrit dans le suivi du projet France/BIT 2011-13 qui a notamment servi à concrétiser l’appui technique du BIT au sein du «Groupe de conseil de haut niveau du socle de protection sociale», dirigé par la Présidente Michelle Bachelet et qui mena à l’adoption d’un rapport mondial constamment cité en référence pour plusieurs preneurs de décisions politiques. Par le biais de la continuité de l’appui de la France, la coopération France/BIT continue de contribuer de manière active au renforcement du cadre politique de la protection sociale au niveau mondial.
UNPRPD - Jobs and skills for persons with disabilities with a focus on ICT-based solutions People with disabilities in Egypt tend to be economically excluded and are non-active in the labor market. Moreover, many disabled people in Egypt lack the needed ICT, soft and entrepreneurial skills to start their own businesses. This project aims to empower persons with disabilities through the use of ICT solutions, with a specific focus on the ICT and tourism sector. Capacity building of training and employment service providers will facilitate persons with disabilities’ employment opportunities in the labor market. The project will be implemented by three partners: UNDP in Egypt, International Labor Organization in Egypt and the Egypt-ICT Trust Fund. The estimated timeline is 18 months, with a budget of 349,997 USD. The project aims to target 6 governorates, 600 young persons with disabilities out of which 300 will successfully integrate in the labour market, 6 NGOs serving persons with disabilities, 200 Design-athon participants (including computer Science/engineering students, young entrepreneurs, NGOs, persons with disabilities, innovators, designers and tech-oriented companies), 25 institutions offering improved training and employment services for persons with disabilities, 30 employers engaged in hiring persons with disabilities or offering internships for persons with disabilities, and 60 trainers of public and private training providers. The project’s objectives will be fulfilled by 1) providing baseline needs assessment study in the selected governorates 2) promoting the concept of entrepreneurship 3) empowering persons with disabilities through face to face training and e-learning solutions, 4) raising awareness among employers of the benefits of hiring persons with disabilities, 5) capacity building for NGOs, training and employment service providers and 6) encouraging social innovation for enhancing the daily lives of persons with disabilities.

Programa de Trabajo Decente Región del Maule, Fase II El Gobierno Regional de la Región del Maule en diciembre del 2011 firmó un Memorandum de Entendimiento con la Organización Internacional del Trabajo para diseñar e implementar una Agenda Regional de Fomento y Calidad del Empleo en el marco de la Estrategia Maule 2020. La Agenda de Fomento y Calidad del Empleo busca mejorar el acceso a empleo de calidad y fomentar la competitividad, convirtiéndose en un instrumento de apoyo al desarrollo de la región. La Agenda de Fomento y Calidad del Empleo de la Región del Maule establece tres ejes estratégicos: empleo juvenil; productividad en el sector agrícola y condiciones laborales y salud y seguridad en el trabajo. Asimismo en el marco de la Agenda se han establecido programas de fortalecimiento del diálogo social, de igualdad de género y de inclusión de personas con discapacidad en el mercado laboral. El Gobierno Regional se encarga de liderar la implementación de la Agenda como también de la coordinación de los diferentes actores regionales. La OIT se encarga de asesorar técnicamente al Gobierno Regional a través de una serie de acciones durante todo ese proceso y también de apoyar el rol de coordinación del Gobierno Regional, dada la experiencia y el carácter tripartito único de esta agencia de Naciones Unidas especializada en el ámbito laboral. La Agenda se desarrolla en dos etapas que permiten en periodos de dos años como mínimo realizar actividades y compromisos para luego ser evaluados y realizar las mejoras correspondientes para permitir la continuidad a esta iniciativa. Durante la primera etapa 2012-2013 se logró socializar la agenda, fortalecer los actores tripartitos, comprometer al mundo académico, validar un diagnóstico de la situación actual, instalar comisiones tripartitas, definir las líneas de acción y acuerdos y presentar la propuesta a las autoridades y parlamentarios representantes de la región. De esta manera, se construyó un fuerte compromiso de los representantes de los trabajadores, empleadores, autoridades y académicos de la región con la Agenda. La segunda etapa estará orientada a ejecutar la Propuesta de Fomento y Calidad del Empleo y desarrollar con los actores del mercado laboral las acciones comprometidas en las comisiones tripartitas. Entre estas acciones está la creación de un observatorio laboral que se considera indispensable para que la Región cuente con la información necesaria para definir políticas e iniciativas de empleo, lograr una menor brecha entre educación y mercado laboral y medir los resultados de la implementación de la Agenda de Fomento y Calidad del Empleo, con base en indicadores definidos con los actores tripartitos.
TVET Forum (Skills for the Future) - Perspectives and Experiences from the Asia and Pacific Region Skills that workers and enterprise require will depend on the evolving nature of work and types of new jobs created. Technology is driving up skill needs and greater automation is putting low-skilled workers at risk while demands for high-skilled workers are increasing. Further, climate change and environmental degradation will require a just and inclusive transition to a greener economy where skills will be needed for newly emerging and adjusted “greened” existing jobs. What is the prospect for the future of work in the region and how and to what extent are the Member States responding or prepared to respond? While there has been much debate and work on this theme in other regions, mostly among developed countries, the perspectives and experiences of the Asia and Pacific region need to be further developed. As the region accounts for 60 per cent of the global labour force, the theme is relevant and requires urgent attention. Further, ASEAN is committed to promoting economic integration and sustainable growth so that both women and men benefit from the creation of the ASEAN Economic Community. The goal is that vulnerable groups are not left behind. This runs in parallel with the 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development which pledges that “no one will be left behind” and resolves to build just and inclusive societies and shared prosperity. To meet these objectives, it is critical that the debate on the future of work and skills give special attention to low and middle skilled workers, women and other vulnerable groups. Objectives ¿ The forum will bring the perspective and experience from the Asia and Pacific to the current global debate (and ILO’s global work) on jobs and skills mismatch. It will share new analyses and recent ILO studies to deepen our understanding on the issue. ¿ The forum will highlight main initiatives by the Member States and development partners in the 5-6 main areas of reform to make skills systems ready to meet future demands of skills. This will facilitate knowledge and experience sharing among the Member States and development partners. It may also highlight the areas of overlaps in terms of development assistance. ¿ The discussion will highlight the areas or types of initiatives that further work is required and indicate the areas of future development assistance.

DISABILITY-INDONESIA: Irish Aid-ILO Partnership Programme, Phase II, 2014-15 Disability issues still do not get enough attention in Indonesia. People with disabilities still face discrimination and have limited access especially to employment opportunities, skill development through vocational and rehabilitation training. However, after the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) in November 2011, some more attention has been given to promoting rights of people with disabilities by the government, international organisations and DPOs. The revision and the drafting of disability related laws is still ongoing both at national and province level. PROPEL Indonesia Phase II will continue to contribute to the development of an enabling legal and policy environment for better employment and training opportunities for persons with disabilities and enhancing awareness and to enhancing the capacity of the constituents to address non-discrimination and barriers to equal employment opportunities for persons with disabilities. In 2014-15, PROPEL – Indonesia will provide technical advice and support to reform current legislation and policies concerning the training and employment of persons with disabilities; organize capacity building for key stakeholders; build awareness of the working capacity, rights and dignity of persons with disabilities, through capacity building of media outlets, including through ILO Disability Equality Training (DET); support the incorporation of disability rights legislation into the curriculum of law faculties; promote access to quality vocational rehabilitation and mainstream vocational training services; support the establishment of mechanism to link job seekers with disabilities and employers; and arrange for the translation and dissemination of relevant publications and practical guides into Bahasa Indonesia
WED-AFRICA: Irish Aid-ILO Partnership Programme, Phase II, 2014-15 WED-EE phase II will build on the achievements of WED-EE Phase I and use the infrastructure and delivery mechanism in place as well as the new partnerships that were forged. Phase II of WED-EE aims to serve at least 2,100 women entrepreneurs with business development services that should result in the creation at least 150 new businesses by women in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. At least 30% of the enterprises reached will be located in rural areas, and at least 30% of the women entrepreneurs served will be young women. The three outcomes of the project are: (a) women-led businesses increase their business perfomance, (b) selected policies and programmes are reviewed by policy makers to mainstream women’s entrepreneurship development, and (c) selected ILO-WED tools and approaches are made available beyond the project’s lifespan.The project combines country components with a global product and links to Outcome 3: Sustainable enterprises create productive and decent jobs, with the expected impact of ‘more women-led businesses contribute to job creation, economic growth and gender equality’, which is the development objective of WED-EE phase II. To achieve the stated objectives, the following outputs will be delivered: • Non-financial service providers’ capacity to provide business services to women entrepreneurs is strengthened and accredited. • Financial service providers’ outreach to women entrepreneurs is increased. • WED-EE partners’ capacity is strengthened to link women entrepreneurs to national and regional markets. • Action plans on WED developed with constituents and other stakeholders, based on WED Assessments. • WED-EE advocacy partners’ capacity strengthened to advocate and lobby for priority WED assessment recommendations. • National sustainability action plans are developed for replication of select ILO-WED tools and approaches. • ILO-WED tools enhanced with videos and audio to support trainers and their outreach. • Policy briefs for advocacy, formalization and men’s involvement in WED initiatives are developed and shared with WED-EE constituents, partners and stakeholders.
Training Teachers for Inclusive TEVET ILO technical cooperation to date has aimed to support the Ministry and national vocational training agencies to better meet the skills development requirements of persons with disabilities through participation in mainstream courses. This has included carrying out an audit of mainstream training centres catering to persons with disabilities, reviewing the Inclusive Vocational Training - Persons with Disabilities in Zambia audit’s findings and recommendations through a stakeholders meeting, and developing an action plan to give effect to the MESVTEE’s policy of inclusive vocational training for disabled persons. A project has been designed to pilot test the action plan in five TEVET Institutions in Zambia. This project proposal has been developed by a designated MESVTEE team, in collaboration with ILO, and has been reviewed and approved by key national stakeholders at a workshop in Lusaka in December 2010.

Durable Solutions for Somali refugee returnees and IDPs in Baidoa through promoting immediate and sustainable livelihoods ILO seeks to support the economic reintegration of spontaneous and/or facilitated group returns to Somalia and internal displaced persons (IDPs) in Baidoa through a diversified livelihood and community-based approach. This approach aims to establish conditions that will enable returnees, IDPs and their communities access their basic needs and restore their livelihoods with dignity. The project also contributes to peace building and reconciliation by reducing the conflicts between returnees and host communities, caused by the high demand and limited livelihood opportunities which often undermine peace. Supporting returning refugees and IDPs with adequate resources to re-start their lives is also crucial in reducing their vulnerability.
Outcome 10: Thematic funding for 2014-15 (Sida-ILO Partnership Programme 2014-17) This project combines two components. The first is trying to identify ways and means to improve working conditions in Global Supply Chains with a focus on the respect of workers’ rights. This component of the project will concentrate its efforts on research and knowledge building related to cross border social dialogue and on the role that could be played by the ILO within the framework of the ILC discussion scheduled in 2016. The second component focuses on strengthening International Labour Standard, with a particular focus on freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, in Global Supply Chains and Export Processing Zones (EPZs). This component will target union leaders and union reps that are involved in the process of organizing workers in supply chains and EPZs at different levels, from the Global Union Federations down to sectoral and enterprise unions on the ground.
NORWAY Outcome 11: Strengthening workplace compliance through labour inspection Regulating decent working conditions is only partly accomplished through the ratification of international labour standards and the adoption of national labour laws in line with these standards. Ultimately, these standards and laws need to be translated into practice at the enterprise level for the benefit and protection of workers and as a contribution to sustainable and productive workplaces. Governments, employers and workers all have their part to play, but national systems of labour inspection have a legal mandate to ensure labour law compliance, whether through enforcement measures, technical advisory services or by identifying inadequacies in the law. Many labour inspectorates, however, lack the necessary strategic planning, training, tools, and resources (human and financial) to effectively carry out this function. The ILO – based on its Conventions, comparative knowledge and tools developed over the years on labour inspection – has a comparative advantage in providing technical assistance to governments on labour inspection. This project is designed to help governments overcome specific challenges faced by their labour inspectorates in collaboration with related agencies and the social partners. It also aims to improve and expand the tools available at the global level on labour inspection to improve the ILO’s comparative knowledge and to address the most common requests by countries for technical assistance in this field.
Technical assistance by the International Labour Organization for the promotion of equal pay in Germany The gender wage gap in Germany embraces 22 percent, demonstrating that equal enumeration for men and women is still not realized in the German context. Against this background the coalition agreement of the current German Government between the Christian Democratic Union (CDU/CSU) and the Social Democratic Party (SPD) formulates the goal to strengthen the principle “equal pay for work of equal value”. By giving employees a legal right to be informed, the Federal Government aims to make the existing precept more effective. In order to promote equal pay for men and women, the Federal Government is planning new transparency regulations, according to which companies with 500 and more employees will have to report on pay differences and internal measures to promote the advancement of women in the future. Companies will also be called upon to apply obligatory procedures to eliminate pay discrimination and to involve the employees and their in-house representatives. Also, the coalition agreement explicitly formulates the creation of a tripartite initiative with the social partners to detect structural biases within collective wage agreements. The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany has now started with the process implementation of the coalition agreement. The corner-stones for an Equal Pay Act will be defined by the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) this year. In this context the ILO Office Berlin has been asked by the BMFSFJ to support the conceptualization and implementation of the legislative project via technical cooperation. Because of the unique role of the ILO as a tripartite organization and its international expertise in regard to equal remuneration, the German Government attaches a significant importance to the partnership with the ILO. The aim is to improve the political acceptance of the legislative project among the social constituents in the German context by including the ILO as a moderator in the process.
Technical support on decent and productive employment in Tanzania This project aims at increasing opportunities for decent work and productive employment for young men and women. ILO will provide support in the context of the National Youth Employment Creation Programme and the national strategy for poverty reduction. Work will focus on improving coordination of youth employment initiatives and will be based on research on labour market outcomes and impact evaluations of such initiatives. Tripartite plus evidence-based policy dialogue will be promoted and knowledge on youth employment practices shared. Decent work for youth will be promoted by workers’ organizations through the empowerment of young trade unionists. Pilot interventions to improve young women’s and men’s employability will include work-based training programmes, economic empowerment of selected rural communities, and the implementation of Public-Private Partnership strategies, and new approaches to connect innovative, growth-oriented young entrepreneurs to knowledge, markets, networks and capital. Work will be anchored in the UN System-wide Action Plan on Youth and the UN Joint Programme on Youth Employment.
