Nationalization of the Know About Business The project "Nationalization of the Know ABout Business Programme in the Occupied Palestinian Territory" will contribute towards the creation of employment opportunities and the promotion of entrepreneurship and self-employment among Palestinian youth; by nationalizing the ILO “Know About Business” educational programme in vocational centres under the Ministry of Labour and technical colleges and industrial schools under the Ministry of Education and Higher Education. The KAB programme will be nationalized in the vocational training centers, technical colleges and industrial schools in the occupied Palestinian territory through the delivery of TOFs, targeting new teachers under ILO monitoring. This will also allow for the certification of the national KAB trainers as National Key Facilitators (NKFs).

Good practices and tools for managing workforce adjustments Scope The project shall focus on the comparison of and identification of good practices in European Union member states related to temporary employment agencies as well as on company restructuring and collective dismissals. The aim of the project is to inform the government and the social partners on good practices and tools for managing workforce adjustment. The project will include a study that will be made available by the ILO to the Ministry Labour, Social Security and Welfare of Greece and that will be discussed with the social partners in a national workshop. The study will consist of a comparative review of labour laws and practices, , among a sample of EU member States in light of both ILO International Labour Standards and EU directives. They will also include literature reviews on the economic and social effects of legal changes concerning temporary employment agencies, company restructuring and collective dismissal in a sample of EU member States. An important component of the studies will be an analysis of recent changes and effects regarding temporary employment agencies, and collective dismissal on company restructuring and the workforce management practices of Greek businesses, including working conditions. Given that the changes put into effect have been recent, and given the severity of the current economic and labour market crisis, consideration shall be given to available data and literature on these issues. An analysis will be made accordingly.

Tripartite Action to Protect Migrants from Labour Exploitation (ASEAN TRIANGLE) In recent years, labour migration flows in Southeast Asia have grown in volume and complexity. The ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) sent an estimated 13.5 million migrants abroad in 2005, over five million of whom moved within the region. The continued growth of labour migration within and from Southeast Asia can be attributed to a number of factors, including demographic evolution, income disparities, human security concerns, established migrant networks and improved transportation links. As the number of women and men migrants within and from Southeast Asia grows, so do the opportunities for unscrupulous job brokers and employers to take advantage of them. Moreover, irregular migration thrives because of the various disincentives that make licensed recruitment channels unattractive to low-skilled women and men migrants. The procedures are lengthy, complicated and not transparent; and the high costs involved can lead migrants into debt or debt bondage. Legal channels are supposed to ensure the protection of the migrant worker, but even documented workers are not guaranteed decent working conditions. Various studies into the living and working conditions of low-skilled migrants in the region reveal that indicators of abuse commonly associated with labour exploitation are widespread. These ‘red flags’ include deception about wages, type of work and legal status; withheld wages; retained passports or identity documents; physical confinement; substandard working conditions, and threats of denunciation to the authorities. Other abuses such as excessive working hours, hazardous working conditions, physical and sexual abuse, etc. are also prevalent in many of the sectors in which women and men migrants work. There is insufficient regulation of the recruitment process and inadequate enforcement of labour protection laws. Few aggrieved migrant workers complain about their brokers or employers because they are afraid to lose their jobs and their work permits. Documented migrants either accept the conditions or ‘run away’ to look for better remuneration (i.e. no wage deductions) as an undocumented worker. But women and men with illegal status are even more vulnerable and more reluctant to complain even under the most abusive circumstances. There is mounting evidence that in a sound policy and governance context, labour migration can deliver significant development dividends not only to the country of destination, but equally to the migrant and their origin country. However, the potential development gains of labour migration in the region are being diluted by major inequities, inefficiencies, consumption and excessive rent-taking. When migrants return to their countries of origin, either at the end of their contracts or prematurely, they usually re-migrate because of a lack of alternative livelihood opportunities in their hometowns. This re-migration is often irregular and often prompted by debts incurred from the initial migration experience – and therefore leads to even greater risk. In recent years, national legal frameworks for addressing the exploitation of labour migrants have been strengthened, but gaps and inconsistencies remain (Annex 7). Labour mobility and labour migration have long been priorities for the ASEAN Labour Ministers. In 2007, the ASEAN member states signed the Declaration on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers and a committee charged with its implementation was subsequently formed. In addition, the Coordinated Mekong Ministerial Initiative against Human Trafficking (COMMIT), a sub-regional government process involving all six countries in the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS), has supported bilateral and multilateral policy and programme interventions. Tripartite Action to Protect Migrants from Labour Exploitation (the TRIANGLE project) aims to significantly reduce the exploitation of labour migrants in the region through increased legal

Gender Mainstreaming in Phase I of the ILO Norway Partnership Agreement Following on from the activities undertaken under different phases of the Norway/ILO Partnership throughout 2008-2011, this GMP project will focus on ensuring that the work of the first phase of the Norway/ILO Partnership Agreement 2012-13 in Indonesia is gender mainstreamed: i.e. that “women’s as well as men’s concerns form an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation” of the ILO’s work in Indonesia, so that “women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated.” Under the Norway/ILO PA, GENDER will work with ILO colleagues and constituents in Indonesia to ensure that work being undertaken in the following areas is gender mainstreamed: • Labour administration • Promotion of freedom of association Indonesia has ratified the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111), and Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100), and it is within this context that the work to promote gender equality in the workplace in the country is manifest. In this context the project will work to ensure that compliance with Equal Pay and combating discrimination are central to labour inspection methodologies in Indonesia. Meanwhile as the vast majority of domestic workers in Indonesia are women, promoting their right to freedom of association may be considered a gender-specific action aimed at empowering women workers.

Développement Economique et Plan d’Action Régionale par la Création d’Emplois Décents pour les Jeunes en Tunisie (DEPART) Actuellement, le plus grand défi pour la Tunisie est de créer des perspectives réelles pour les jeunes en chômage et de faire face à la précarité engendrée par le manque d'opportunités. A un système qui garantit une formation scolaire presque universelle jusqu’aux plus hauts niveaux s’oppose une lacune quant à la demande d’emploi. Les mesures d’orientation et de formation proposées par les structures compétentes du Ministère de la Formation Professionnelle et Emploi semblent souvent inadéquates. Des approches innovatrices sont testées. Il a été constaté par plusieurs projets BIT que de nombreuses initiatives et mesures sont déjà mises en place, mais que ces mesures souffrent encore souvent de manquements primordiaux tels que: (i) une certaine lenteur pour répondre aux urgences, (ii) une absence de positionnement, de synergie et d’évaluation des programmes offerts; et (iii) une mise en œuvre qui aboutit souvent à privilégier certains jeunes qui n’ont pas nécessairement le plus besoin de ces programmes. De plus, les différences entre les régions n’ont pas suffisamment été considérées dans des programmes d’orientation, formation et suivi qui s’adressent aux jeunes femmes et hommes. Les politiques et programmes nécessiteraient d’être adaptés aux besoins des différents bénéficiaires, ainsi qu’aux spécificités régionales. Le projet « Créer des emplois et auto-emplois décents pour les jeunes par le développement économique local en Tunisie » envisage de renforcer les intervenants locaux, pour accroître systématiquement les perspectives d’emploi et auto-emploi pour les jeunes dans leur localité ; ceci en créant une ouverture vers des initiatives locales et innovatrices, qui s’inscrivent dans une logique de développement économique local (DEL), y compris dans une dynamique de dialogue social , constructive et décentralisée pour une meilleure coopération entre les partenaires locaux afin de créer effectivement de meilleures perspectives pour les jeunes femmes et hommes.

Support to ACI 2: Jobs and skills for youth - Morocco Afin de répondre au mieux aux défis de l’emploi au niveau national, le Maroc souhaite développer une Stratégie nationale de l’emploi (SNE) qui vise à appréhender le marché du travail dans sa globalité et à mettre l’emploi productif et décent au centre de l’action publique. La Stratégie vise essentiellement à améliorer la situation de l’emploi des jeunes et des femmes qui sont les plus exposés au chômage et à la précarité du travail. Le projet a pour objectif d’appuyer les mandants tripartites dans l’élaboration de cette Stratégie nationale de l’emploi (SNE) ainsi que d’un plan d’action opérationnel pour sa mise en œuvre, en tenant en compte principalement les plus démunies : les jeunes et les femmes, et de renforcer les capacités des mandants tripartites sur le suivi, le pilotage et l’évaluation de cette SNE. Le Projet assurera la continuité des interventions du BIT au Maroc sur la question de l’emploi. Il ne s’agira pas de dupliquer les actions déjà réalisées mais de bâtir sur les résultats déjà obtenus et conjuguer les ressources pour renforcer les actions et avoir un meilleur impact. Pour la finalisation de la SNE et du plan d’action, le projet procédera aussi, en ligne avec la stratégie de l’OIT concernant l’ACI II (‘’what works’’) à la génération de connaissance concernant les bonnes pratiques pour l’emploi des jeunes au Maroc à travers une revue documentaire et une analyse transversale, ainsi qu’au renforcement des capacités des mandants sur les bonnes pratiques en termes de priorisation de l’emploi des jeunes dans leur programmes. La mise en place de la SNE prendra en considération l’aspect « territorialisation de la politique de l’emploi » en initiant la réflexion sur le meilleur moyen de développer l’emploi au niveau régional/local.

Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) - Elaboration of a tool to allow Switzerland to Evaluate, on the basis of the control system of the ILO, the risks of violation of fundamental ILO conventions ILO's NORMES department has very successfully deployed a 100% web-based, data-driven database application named NORMLEX. NORMLEX is an application that brings together information on International Labour Standards (such as ratification information, reporting requirements, comments of the ILO's supervisory bodies, and cases examined by Committee on Freedom of Association) as well as national labour and social security laws. SECO has approached the ILO and expressed a desire to have additional modules added to NORMLEX in order to facilitate their evaluation of country risk.

Formations au Centre international de formation à Turin : Volet «Appui à l’initiative du socle de protection sociale» En juin 2012, une nouvelle Recommandation de l’OIT concernant les Socles de protection sociale a été adopté. Les Socles de protection sociale sont «des ensembles de garanties élémentaires de sécurité sociale définis à l’échelle nationale qui assurent une protection visant à prévenir ou à réduire la pauvreté, la vulnérabilité et l’exclusion sociale». Cette importante Recommandation a pour but d’étendre l’accès à des soins de santé essentiels et à une sécurité élémentaire de revenu pour des millions de personnes à travers le monde. Chaque pays est ainsi encouragé à établir des Socles de protection sociale en tant qu’élément fondamental de leurs systèmes nationaux de sécurité sociale et faisant partie de leurs plans de développement social et économique. Dans le contexte du projet INT/14/50/FRA, le Centre international de formation de l’OIT (CIF-OIT) contribue au renforcement des capacités des acteurs nationaux afin qu’ils disposent des connaissances pour la mise en œuvre et gestion durable des composantes du Socle de protection sociale. Les participants seront sélectionnés parmi les pays Africains francophones (exception faite du Togo, qui bénéficie déjà d’un projet financé par la France) qui ont comme priorité nationale, le socle de protection sociale.

Dissemination of Employment and Labour Measures for Recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake as International Public Resources This ILO/Japan Project aims to collect and compile lessons and good practices from the recovery efforts in Japan and to share them with a wide circle of the international community. It is hoped that the final outputs of the Project will better inform future natural disaster recovery efforts and policies including the post-Hyogo Framework of Action (HFA) in the Asia and Pacific region and beyond. The overall objective of the Project is to enhance the knowledge on employment and labour related measures in the context of disaster recovery. In order to do so, the Project will collect good practices and lessons learnt from past and ongoing recovery efforts in Japan and disseminate research findings to an international audience in the Asia and Pacific region and beyond. The target group of the project include the constituents in the Asia and Pacific countries and beyond who are responsible for planning and implementing disaster recovery policies resilient to natural disasters. By making research findings widely available, the Project is aimed to benefit people living in disaster-prone countries, who are its ultimate beneficiaries. The Project consists of two main activities: conducting research and disseminating research findings.

Skills for Employment in Mozambique The project will strengthen the link between extractive industry (MNEs, international and national sub-contractors) and vocational training institutes, and build the capacity of institutions and staff to design and implement demand driven training programmes to promote the employment of local people. It will stress and promote active participation of social partners, especially employers in all aspects of training. The MNEs and the main sub-contractors would play a central, key role in the strengthening of the system. They will be involved in building the capacity of managers in managing the institutions, and trainers in designing modular competency based curricula and delivering training programmes.

Action Programme for Protecting the Rights of Women Migrant Domestic Workers (WMDWs) in Lebanon The proposed project aims at consolidating an ongoing ILO initiative by improving the situation of women migrant domestic workers in Lebanon and ensuring favourable working conditions and a better regulated and monitored environment that protects their rights. It is framed within the regional and global priorities of the ILO that meet the priorities of regulation and monitoring of international labour migration and the protection of the rights of domestic workers. The action proposed aims at building on the momentum created by the adoption of unified contract and the decree on regulating and monitoring private placement agencies. The provisions of the unified contract and the decree on regulating and monitoring private placement agencies constitute a great improvement in the legal situation of the women migrant domestic workers. However, prejudice and negative attitudes with regard to this group of workers prevails, making it necessary to intervene at the policy, institutional and grassroots levels in order to contribute to changing the preconceived notions on women migrant domestic workers in the country. Within this context, the specific objective of the project is: Improved working conditions of women migrant domestic workers in Lebanon.
