Promoting access to microinsurance for financial inclusion and decent work Phase II 2013-2014 The present UNCDF/ILO Joint Programme “Promoting Access to Micro-insurance for Financial Inclusion and Decent Work, Phase II” stands for the expansion of the initial UNCDF/ILO JP approved in 2007 on this theme. Phase I key results have been reached overall, with the successful launching of three country pilots programs in Ethiopia, Zambia and Kenya, the drafting of a normative tool for the development of a sector-based programmatic approach for the promotion of micro-insurance, and the finalization of a product diversification training module by ILO, which includes micro-insurance among other services. Phase II proposes to expand the scope of Phase I geographically, but also (and more importantly) with a major qualitative transformation by anchoring this new phase under the umbrella of a global micro-insurance initiative called “Access to Insurance Initiative” (A2II). A2II is sponsored by ILO, GTZ, the World Bank, Finmark Trust and the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS), which is the regulatory body for the supervision of the insurance industry. In terms of geographic coverage, Phase II will, in addition to the expansion of on-going activities in the three countries targeted under Phase I, initiate two additional micro-insurance pilot programs, one in West Africa and one in Asia, in countries to be determined jointly with ILO. The qualitative transformation of Phase II is reflected by the fact that the UNCDF/ILO JP will now become part of the larger framework of A2II, under which the sponsor-donors mentioned above will develop a series of country programs in other regions (mainly Latin America and Asia). Anchoring Phase II under the A2II umbrella will provide the following benefits for UNCDF and ILO. It will provide for a major leverage factor to the on-going and planned pilots of both agencies: “intellectual property” leverage by enabling all pilots developed under A2II to use the normative tool on the MI “sector based approach” developed under Phase I and “programmatic” leverage by including the JP Phase II activities under a much larger community of practices, for purpose of knowledge management and sharing of lessons learnt, as well as evaluation. Finally, Phase II will develop a more formal link with the ILO’s USD 35 M “Micro-insurance Innovation Facility” funded by the B&M Gates Foundation, by encouraging applications from MI providers in countries where there are on-going and planned JP pilot activities

Support international knowledge sharing on OSH legislation and easy access to key legal provisions Legislation on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is an essential component of national systems aiming at protecting the health and safety of workers. OSH legislation is often described as a complex mosaic of legal provisions applicable in various jurisdictions and specifying a range of rights, obligations and duties applicable to workers and employers respectively, the roles and responsibilities of ministries, agencies, institutions and organizations, as well as a wide range of diversified technical requirements aiming altogether at preventing injuries to health. Parts or whole of relevant legislative texts in OSH are usually found in general labour laws such as a labour code, in OSH specific legislation and public health laws, in workers’ compensation acts and social security legislation, at times in industry specific acts such as for mining, construction, agriculture and fisheries for example, and sometimes in others. Safety and health at work covers a vast technical domain for which legislative texts are sometimes difficult to locate in the overall national legislative apparatus, let alone challenging at times to read and interpret one with the others. Collecting and making available the main elements of OSH legislation and policies from around the world in a global database is a priority work item for the ILO since 2011, and has benefited from the support of the Government of the Republic of Korea in 2012 and 2013.

Towards stronger measures to combat abusive labor recruitment and to prevent human trafficking The present proposal aims to address regulatory and enforcement gaps with regards to contemporary labor recruitment practices within and across national jurisdictions as part of a broader strategy to prevent human trafficking. Labor recruitment intermediaries encompass private employment agencies, agencies that recruited under disguise (e.g. such as model or travel agencies), informal labor brokers and criminal networks. The overall goal of this project is to develop effective solutions aimed at reinforcing labor and criminal justice to combat abusive and fraudulent labor recruitment practices, in particular those that can be associated with human trafficking. The project will be implemented in close collaboration with UNODC that will launch a similar initiative, focusing in particular on aspects of criminal justice. The main outputs of the project are a global report analyzing abusive and fraudulent recruitment practices and current labor and criminal justice responses, inter-regional expert meetings and a final conference with concrete recommendations for stronger regulatory and enforcement measures. The immediate objectives of the project are: 1. To enhance global knowledge and understanding of effective remedies against abusive labor recruitment practices, based on an analysis of criminal and labor law, including enforcement mechanisms 2. To formulate and promote effective regulatory and enforcement measures as part of a broader strategy to prevent human trafficking

Better Work Viet Nam - Phase II - Staff Costs The programme strategy for Phase II was designed under specific assumptions, most of them deriving from the experience of the BFC project. Its implementation in seven countries of different sizes and through various operative frameworks indicates that some strategic approaches need to be reviewed and adjusted in order to allow the Programme to maximize its potential and fully meet its objectives. Changes in the Programme approach and strategy have de facto been occurring to address emerging needs and realities in operating countries. Deliberate decisions have been taken in order to mainstream these ad hoc responses into a new comprehensive strategic framework for phase III. In accordance with its visions, over the next five years, Better Work aims to have a significant and direct impact through its own programmes in the garment sector and a wider, indirect impact through its influence, knowledge sharing and partnerships. In many respects Better Work’s impact will be achieved by leveraging the comparative and combined strengths of the wider Better Work alliance which includes ILO, IFC, the constituents of government worker, employer and employer organizations and international buyers. In order to reach these goals, Better Work will be implementing a multi-pronged strategy over the next three-year period (July 2012-June 2015). This strategy is articulated around the following five strategic components: 1) Extending the scale of the Programme operations 2) Accelerating and demonstrating impact of services in participating factories 3) Playing a catalyst role in order to foster change in terms of strategies, practices and policies at various levels 4) Exerting a stronger influence over international brands and buyers to improve supply chain practices 5) Strengthening the governance and viability of its global and country operations

Emergency employment response to Nepal earthquake-affected areas: Provision of OSH equipment for debris and landslide clearance workers To ensure that the ILO can rapidly respond to the on-going emergency and launch recovery operations in the immediate aftermath of the crisis, the office will need to strengthen its capacity from now until at least the end of July 2015 in the following areas: 1. Surge capacities at CO Kathmandu: Two specialists have already been deployed to provide technical support on post-disaster labour-intensive infrastructure rehabilitation activities and to support ILO’s participation in UNCT/HCT. 2. Rapid assessment of employment and livelihoods impact: Macroeconomic specialists from ROAP and DWTs in Bangkok and New Delhi are currently compiling figures on the estimated loss on employment and livelihoods. This estimate will be included in UN SitReps, disseminated to the media and also used in preparing the forthcoming PDNA and Flash Appeals. 3. Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA): A PDNA is expected to be launched in three weeks. BKK will assist CO Kathmandu in coordinating ILO participation with relevant HQ branches, such as DEVINVEST. Under this overall response framework, the contribution directly contributes to creating 1,500 emergency employment opportunities, as well as enhancing the safety of those workers by providing protection clothing and hand tools. The activities are envisaged in 10 districts including Sindulpalchowk, Gorkha, Lamjung, Tanahu, Dhading, Kaski, Palpa, Makwanpur, Nuwakot and Rasuwa.

Le cadre institutionnel de gouvernance de la sécurité/protection sociale L’objectif général de l’intervention sera d’accroître l’étendue et l’efficacité de la protection sociale en tant qu’instrument de réduction de la pauvreté et de l’exclusion sociale, de développement humain et d‘accès à un travail décent En dépit des avancées de la protection sociale au Cap Vert, le travail engagé par STEP/Portugal 3 a montré qu’il est nécessaire à la fois d’accompagner la consolidation du CNPS sur plusieurs années et qu’il était souhaitable de créer des liens plus forts avec le système contributif allant vers une forme d’intégration de certains services. Le champ d’intervention sera celui de l’extension de la protection sociale. Celle-ci sera abordée dans les cadres plus larges de la promotion du travail décent et de la lutte contre la pauvreté. L’effort du projet inclura en particulier le soutien aux politiques et mécanismes non contributifs de protection sociale et au renforcement des institutions qui en ont la responsabilité. L’intervention s’attachera à favoriser l’articulation entre mécanismes contributifs et non contributifs et à l’établissement d’une vision globale et partagée au niveau national de l’ensemble du système de protection sociale. Dans les activités, il sera tenu compte systématiquement des effets des dispositifs de protection sociale sur la formalisation de l’emploi (regarder Plan de Travail 2014 ci-joint)

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Reform in Bangladesh The project aims to assist Bangladesh in reducing poverty through reforms of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) policies and systems so that more people can acquire employable skills and thus generate income through wage-earning jobs or self-employment. The rationale for the project stems from the national poverty reduction strategy (PRSP). The project is intended to contribute to the improvement of productivity in industry and services through better responding to their skills needs; to ensure rapid formation of the national human capital and improved employability of vocational education and training graduates; to enhance labour market participation, social inclusion and empowerment of disadvantaged groups – the low literate youth, child labourers, women, and the rural communities. The project’s logic and activities follow the requirements of the National Strategy for Accelerated Poverty Reduction (PRSP) in the areas of TVET. The productivity and competitiveness in the private sector will be improved through: producing TVET graduates with the skills and competencies that better match the needs of the economy, advice and participation of industry in strengthening TVET and establishing public-private partnerships, and support to the skills development and workplace learning in the private sector. TVET policies and systems will be made more responsive to the needs of the private sector and will deliver the market-oriented skills with better employability. Building of the human capital will be ensured through institutional strengthening of the technical and vocational education and training system, its major technical support services such as course and qualifications development, and the quality assurance system; new vocational qualifications and courses will be developed and provided with training equipment and learning resources; teachers will be upgraded in teaching and occupational areas; the managerial and operational capabilities of the public and private training providers will be upgraded. The disadvantaged groups will be empowered in the labour market through the development of qualifications for people who lack literacy, recognition of skills acquired on the job, and skills training for income-generating activities in communities. The project will therefore significantly contribute to the national “pro-poor” growth strategy.

The specific objectives are to: 1. Empower migrant workers to exercise their rights by enhancing the role of trade unions in countries of origin (Indonesia, Myanmar and Nepal) in awareness raising and pre-departure training 2. Increase capacity of migrant workers to assert their rights in countries of destination (Malaysia and Thailand), supporting the establishment of migrant worker associations; and 3. Enhance the role of trade unions in the protection of migrant workers through organizing and increased coordination.
Training Project on Employment and Skills Development – Phase II The extended project will reinforce the ILO/Japan joint development cooperation efforts to the advantage of the two parties and their respective constituents. More specifically, by strengthening the ITCILO training offer (learning platforms and courses) in the Employment Policies and Skills Development area, the project will contribute to enhance long-term national capacity to deal with policy and operational aspects relevant to this area. Through the direct involvement of one of its officials in project implementation, the MHLW of Japan will benefit from international exposure and peer-to-peer exchanges. The Japanese expert will have the opportunity to gain further knowledge on employment and skills development subject matters, as well as on the training cycle (and the different phases of it, from training needs assessment to evaluation of training) and adult learning methodologies and practices.

Le programme commun s’inscrit dans une approche basée sur l’initiative de la communauté et le droit des populations. L’OS2 vise plus particulièrement le droit à l’alimentation et l’égalité des droits entre les sexes via l’appui à l’agriculture familiale en vue de contribuer à la sécurité alimentaire et à la croissance d’une économie rurale durable et créatrice d’emplois décents24, ceci également afin de garantir l’accessibilité aux soins de santé.
PROG 2017-2021_Outcome_La Société Civile participe activement à l'amélioration de la Gouvernance à tous les niveaux politiques et à l’amélioration du respect des droits des femmes et des hommes Comme nous l’avons vu pour les OS précédents, tout le programme commun s’inscrit dans une approche basée sur les droits des populations, avec une attention particulière pour le droit universel aux soins de santé primaires et de la santé. C’est le renforcement de l’exercice de ces droits fondamentaux qui permettra à la population d’être acteur de son bien-être. C’est d’ailleurs dans l’OS3 que le respect des droits fondamentaux des populations sera le plus travaillé. Le respect des droits à la santé, à l’éducation et à l’alimentation et à l’égalité entre les sexes des OS1 et OS2, passent donc par les interventions dans le cadre de l’OS3.
