    Country: Ethiopia
    Closing date: 22 Feb 2019

    1.Introduction

    The International Labor Organization (the ILO) is a U.N. agency committed to bringing together governments, employers and workers of 187 member States, to set labor standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work for all women and men. Since the early 1950s, the ILO has been providing technical cooperation to countries on all continents and at all stages of economic development. Projects are implemented through close cooperation between recipient countries, donors, and the ILO, which maintains a network of country offices worldwide.

    Background

    In Ethiopia, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has developed a comprehensive response to a need expressed by the government, employers’ and workers’ organizations to advance decent work and inclusive industrialization in key priority sectors identified in the Second Ethiopian Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II). This response titled “Advancing Decent Work and Inclusive Industrialization in Ethiopia” is a project intervention that will be implemented focusing on the textile and apparel sector that coincides with Ethiopia’s Industrial Development Strategic Plan (2013 – 2025).

All interventions involve consultation with the ILO SCORE technical team based in Ethiopia and Geneva. Factory owners/managers and workers/worker representatives within each factory should be consulted before availing training and other advisory services.

    The objective of the Better Migration Management (BMM) program is to improve the migration management in the Eastern African region in response to the needs identified by the African countries of the Khartoum Process, and in particular to address the trafficking of human beings and the smuggling of migrants within and from the Horn of Africa. One of the main goals of BMM’s protection component in Ethiopia is to have unaccompanied and/or separated minors (UASM) who are irregular migrants receive specialized protection according to identified needs and in accordance with international human rights standards pursuant to BMM’s Result 3.4. This could be achieved through main result indicators on the program: 1) RI 3.4.2: Multidisciplinary child protection teams adapted in appropriate facilities in 2 other countries; and 2) RI 3.4.3: Number of inter-institutional training measures on best interest determination, child protection/ SOPs (e.g. family tracing/reunification). BMM through GIZ is now working on the establishment and operation of 1) non-residential drop-in centers to provide referral and support to vulnerable young migrants, particularly women (A 3.3.1.2) and 2) of child protection facilities to assist children on the move (A 3.4.2 - 3.4.7). These facilities will be established in migration hotspot regions in Ethiopia along key migration pathways where occurrences of smuggling and trafficking of vulnerable migrants are rife.

    1.Introduction

    The International Labor Organization (the ILO) is a U.N. agency committed to bringing together governments, employers and workers of 187 member States, to set labor standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work for all women and men. Since the early 1950s, the ILO has been providing technical cooperation to countries on all continents and at all stages of economic development. Projects are implemented through close cooperation between recipient countries, donors, and the ILO, which maintains a network of country offices worldwide.

    Background

    In Ethiopia, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has developed a comprehensive response to a need expressed by the government, employers’ and workers’ organizations to advance decent work and inclusive industrialization in key priority sectors identified in the Second Ethiopian Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II). This response titled “Advancing Decent Work and Inclusive Industrialization in Ethiopia” is a project intervention that will be implemented focusing on the textile and apparel sector that coincides with Ethiopia’s Industrial Development Strategic Plan (2013 – 2025). In the second phase, the ILO’s support will be expanded further down the supply chain of the textile and apparel sector and will also include additional vital sectors to the Ethiopian economy. As part of this programme, ILO SCORE (Sustainable, Competitive and Responsible Enterprises). The programme will play major roles in terms of direct factory level support.

    The SCORE Ethiopia Programme is an ILO Development Cooperation Programme designed to improve overall enterprise productivity and competitiveness by assisting export-oriented and domestic apparel factories with a particular focus on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Its main interventions are the enterprise productivity training and additional SCORE training modules developed to enhance work place cooperation, improve quality, promote cleaner and lean production practices, enhance workforce management skills and improve occupational Safety and Health. These training programmes are all practical and demand driven and include in-factory advisory services prioritized by factories.

In addition, workers and managers should gain a better appreciation of the importance of good communication, teamwork, and workplace organization.

All interventions involve consultation with the ILO SCORE technical team based in Ethiopia and Geneva. Factory owners/managers and workers/worker representatives within each factory should be consulted before availing training and other advisory services. The Enterprise Advises are expected to register factories and undertake preliminary baseline assessments of the participating factories.
