More and Quality jobs are created through better policies and frameworks and strengthened labour market information systems

This project is part of the ILO Flagship Programme on Jobs for Peace and Resilience and is based on the Employment and Decent Work for Peace and Resilience Recommendation, 2017 (No. 205). It builds on consultations with the ILO tripartite constituents and conclusions of the ILO’s Governing Body to continue the efforts for the elimination of forced labour. The project will build on, complement and expand on previous and ongoing ILO development cooperation projects in the three conflict affected Shan, Mon and Rakhine States in Myanmar. It will assist the Government, the social partners and other stakeholders in supporting the peace process by developing effective models and strategies for decent job creation and national reconciliation through employment-intensive investment approaches and models, with a focus on ethnic groups in vulnerable situations and young people in rural areas. The project will contribute to the adoption and implementation of evidence-based conflict-sensitive job creation strategies and to increased engagement of duty bearers in the promotion and adoption of decent work practice in lieu of forced labour. This project contributes to the country’s efforts to advance towards the attainment of SDG target 8.2 (Achieve higher level of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high-value added and labour-intensive sectors).
