Safe and Healthy Youth Project - Myanmar

To achieve the overall objective of improving OSH for young workers aged 15 to 24 and to develop a culture of prevention, the project will work along four immediate objectives: improving OSH data; improving OSH laws and programmes; improving OSH capacities among key stakeholders; and raising OSH awareness and knowledge. This approach follows the strategy of the global umbrella project to which the safeyouth@work project in Myanmar belongs. And, as noted above, because safeyouth@work Project activities in Myanmar are considered part of the VZF, country-level activities will be coordinated with VZF governance bodies. The first stakeholder consultation workshop in June 2016 has been coordinated with the VZF Manager.
