Support the implementation of the Decent Work Country Programme in Uzbekistan

The overall purpose of this project is to support a reduction in child labor and forced labor and promote decent work in Uzbekistan, through the framework of the Decent Work Country Program agreement between the Government of Uzbekistan and the ILO. The ILO will support research that yields credible, comprehensive data on the extent and nature of child labor and forced labor in Uzbekistan’s agricultural sector (other sectors also may be researched, based on identified need and further discussion between the donor and the ILO). The project will build the capacity of national and local stakeholders to advocate for a reduction in child labor and forced labor and promote fundamental principles and rights at work. The ILO will also provide technical assistance toward the development and implementation of policies to apply international and national labor standards; the creation of an occupational safety and health management system; and the establishment of effective labor market information systems and employment services.
