MARISMAS NACIONALES Marismas Nacionales is a complex of meandering rivers, deltas, marshes, freshwater lagoons, estuaries, coastal lagoons, intertidal wetlands and coastal dunes. The largest mangrove area on the Pacific coast of Mexico is located here, and more than 125 commercial fishing companies rely on it. It is a key foraging and resting area for 250,000 migrating ducks and 427,000 shorebirds (28 species). This project will set up conservation agreements on 12,350 acres and management agreements on 2,470 acres of ejido lands, and clear natural channels and reforest mangroves on 2,964 acres in those areas. It will also clear dead trees from an additional 12 miles of channels in another area that is already under protection, thereby rehabilitating natural hydrological patterns on 19,760 acres, which in turn will reduce salinity and restore wetland productivity. The project will also monitor water quality, fisheries and bird populations in a tidal basin.
CONSERVATION OF CHIHUAHUAN DESERT SHORT The Spragueis Pipit (Anthus spragueii) and the Mountain Plover (Charadrius montanus) are considered two priority ..species for conservation in North America, due to the fact that the short grasslands that they depend upon are ..highly threatened. Pronatura Noreste, A.C. has organized and coordinated with different universities, government ..sectors, private organizations to implement deliberative workshops to preserve grasslands and species that are of ..binational interest, and as a result of this effort have successfully published the Business plan to conserve the ..wintering grounds of the Spragues Pipit (SPPI) that was created during the V Partners in Flight reunion, and also..The conservation Plan for the Mountain Plover (MOPL). According to these plans, the GPCA El Tokio stocks ..8.3% of the MOPL world population and its a habitat with the highest density of SPPI (8.6 ind./km2). On the other ..hand, the GPCA Mapim was recognized during 2009 as the most important GPCA for housing 900-1000 grasslands ..birds by km2.....Through this project partners seek to continue the implementation of conservation actions, enhancement, management ..and restoration of the short grasslands in the Chihuahuan Desert which favor the presence of SPPI and MOPL. This ..will be achieved by protecting lands through a Private Conservation Reserve agreement, the management of two ..federal NPA with a volunteering approach; the soil restoration through conservation works, sustainable livestock ..management and the establishment of a sustainable goats livestock model.
CONSERVATION OF THREE IMPERILED GRASSLAN Throughout the last three years, Pronatura Noreste, A.C. (PNE) has organized and coordinated universities, government and different NGOs in deliberative grassland bird conservation, resulting in the successful development of 'Business Plans' for the conservation of Sprague's pipit (SPPI), Mountain Plover (MOPL) and Long-billed Curlew (LBCU). Following these plans, PNE implemented priority management and restoration actions in order to maintain the population trend of SPPI and MOPL, including the creation of a Federal Natural Protected Area in Valles Centrales Grassland Priority Conservation Area (GPCA), and a diagnosis of agrochemicals used on grasslands where LBCU winters at El Tokio GPCA, both in the Chihuahuan Desert Grasslands of Mexico. Now PNE will continue activities in six GPCAs in Mexico: protecting 35,118 acres of grasslands; restoring and managing 73,342 acres, evaluating the populations of Mountain Plovers in Janos, Mapim and El Tokio; developing the Sustainable Production Protocols for Bird-Friendly Beef in the Chihuahuan Desert; promoting their model of sustainable livestock management on 22,196 km2 of GPCAs in Federal Natural Protected Areas, and finally, starting a process of environmental education and outreach with intensive farmers on the way to reconcile farming productivity with the survival of grasslands.

NORTHERN YUCATN PENINSULA The Yucatan Peninsula wetlands are essential ecosystems given their ecologic, economic and cultural value. It is one of the first resting and feeding stopovers during the north-south migration. Conservative estimates indicate an average of over 250,000 ducks in the region during winter, mainly Blue-winged Teal, and up to 50,000 shorebirds. Recent studies have also revealed that the northern wetlands of the Yucatan Peninsula are wintering sites for 38 of the 41 shorebirds recorded for the Gulf of Mexico, including Piping Plover, Black-necked Stilt, Whimbrel, Long-billed Curlew, Red Knot, and Long-billed Dowitcher. However, disturbances caused by harbor construction and several hurricanes have reduced important mangrove and marine grassland habitat for these species. Phase 1B of this project will work to counteract these impacts in the wetlands of the community of Telchac, Dzemul, along the northern coast of Yucatan by restoring 180 acres of coastal wetlands.

Innovation to Inclusion The ILO promotes the inclusion of the Washington Group on Disability Statistics methodology in the application of labour force surveys (LFS) and other surveys with relevance for labour market data. Furthermore, the ILO is developing a dedicated module on persons with disabilities to be used in LFS. The project's objectives are to: a) provide capacity building to staff of the Ministry of Planning, the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), the Ministry of Labour and Employment and the Ministry of Social Welfare on the collection and analysis of disability-disaggregated data with relevance for the employment and social protection of persons with disabilities. This will include the application of the dedicated module on persons with disabilities to be used in a Bangladesh LFS and guidance on the analysis of the data gathered; b) will provide capacity building to staff of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection Kenya, State Department for Social Protection, and the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) on the collection and analysis of disability-disaggregated data with relevance for the employment and social protection of persons with disabilities. This will include the analysis of the 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census from a disability inclusion perspective and the dissemination of the analysis' results. Based on the experience of the ILO Global Business and Disability Network in promoting national business and disability networks in developing countries, the ILO will engage the private sector in Kenya to establish a Kenya Business and Disability Network (KBDN).
Promoting decent work for sustainable rural livelihoods with focus on the protection and empowerment of vulnerable populations This RBSA-funded intervention fits within the follow-up on the decision made by the ILO’s Governing Body at its 334th session concerning an integrated strategy for 2019-22 to address decent work deficits in the tobacco sector. It has been developed based on both the outcome of country-level consultations and the comments of the ILO’s Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations. The initiative addresses decent work deficits and challenges in the tobacco sector in Zambia with the view to developing good practices with great potential to be replicated and scaled up in other countries of East Africa and beyond. The envisaged work supports appropriate regulations and monitoring systems for decent work in the tobacco sector, with a focus on occupational safety and health and on the elimination of child labour and forced labour. It also contributes to strengthening the capacity of employers’ and workers’ organizations, small-holder farmers and workers themselves to address relevant decent work deficits through social dialogue. Furthermore, assistance to tobacco-growing communities is provided in order to identify and transition to alternative livelihoods. Synergies with key partners such as FAO and WHO help leverage the impact of the ILO’s work. Overall, this initiative seeks to strengthen the virtuous cycle between the ILO’s normative function and technical assistance to member States. It contributes to the country’ efforts to make progress in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, in particular by advancing towards the attainment of 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 2.3 (By 2030 double the agricultural productivity and the incomes of small-scale food producers, particularly women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers, including through secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and non-farm employment).
Integrated Programme on Fair Recruitment (FAIR) - Phase II - Jordan component This project seeks to consolidate and expand the achievements produced by ILO’s FAIR I project, through the upscaling of the pilots tested under FAIR I as well as the implementation of new fair recruitment interventions across migration corridors in North and West Africa, the Middle East and South and South-East Asia. The project strategy is based on a three-pronged approach: 1) implementing fair recruitment processes in selected migration corridors and sectors, 2) providing reliable information, improved services including facilitating access to justice, to migrant workers in the recruitment process and 3) producing and disseminating global knowledge and guidance about fair recruitment, including through the media. Target countries include Hong Kong SAR (China), Jordan, Nepal, Philippines, Qatar and Tunisia. The strategy applies a multi-stakeholder approach in conjunction with governments, trade unions, employers’ organisations, civil society actors and the media at the country and global level.
Employment and Social Affairs Platform 2 (ESAP2) This three year project is the Phase II of the Employment and Social Affairs Platform project (ESAP). This new phase (ESAP2) will consolidate the results achieved under phase I and expand the platform to cover additional employment and social policy topics of high relevance for Western Balkans. The ESAP2 consists of three thematic components: 1. Informal Employment and Undeclared Work The Informal Employment and Undeclared Work Component aims to generate quantitative evidence on what works and what does not work with regard to transition to formality in the region and improve availability and quality of data on the different dimensions of informality. The results will be the basis for evidence based policy-making supporting improved policy design and implementation to reduce informal employment and undeclared work. 2. Labour Inspection In relation to the Labour Inspection Component, informal employment and undeclared work is the main policy areas for peer learning within the Network of Labour Inspectorates in the Western Balkans mirroring the EU’s Senior Labour Inspectors’ Committee (SLIC). The Network was established under ESAP1. A peer-review will be undertaken to increase the regional knowledge and the understanding of the different labour inspection systems and practices for preventing and combating undeclared work. Based on the results of the peer review, tailored Inspection Guidelines for detecting undeclared work will be designed and pilot tested. The results will lead to an increased outreach of the Labour Inspectorates in preventing and combatting undeclared work. 3. Social Dialogue To foster increased effectiveness of tripartite and bipartite social dialogue, the Social Dialogue Component includes three strands of action: 1. Establishment of online national and regional performance-monitoring tools in Economic and Social Councils (ESCs) for improving their impact on policy-making, 2. Development of regional guidelines for the promotion of collective bargaining in selected economic sectors, and 3. Development of online regional policy and performance tools in the area of labour dispute resolution and industrial relations. Through regular updating of the Database on Industrial relations and Working Conditions, more accurate data on number of collective agreements and collective bargaining coverage in the Western Balkans will be generated.
