Technical support on employment opportunities in Brazil

This project aims at contributing towards inclusive growth with more and better jobs in Brazil through the promotion of productive development policies. Two studies are being conducted on: (1) an overview of productive development policies in Brazil including a conceptual framework; and (2) understanding successful policies for productive development through a set of sector-specific case studies. A toolkit will be developed for the promotion of decent work through value chain analysis and local development approaches, with linkages to the framework of the Agenda 2030. Materials will be developed, or existing material translated into Portuguese, piloted and validated with Brazilian stakeholders, to comprise a manual and methodologies for value chain mapping, diagnostic techniques including for gender and race, opportunities for micro, small and medium enterprise development and environmental sustainability. The ILO will provide technical expertise and develop local capacity for using these materials in response to demand from local authorities in several states and sectors (including apparel, eco-tourism and agro-business). An international seminar will be designed to disseminate good practices and research findings from the ILO, international and national experts and partner organizations concerning the design, implementation and impact of productive development policies in different contexts.
