Informality Diagnostic IRAQ - UNDP contribution

Building on recent advances in freedom of association and social dialogue in Iraq, the proposal will strengthen the capacity and opportunity for civil society and the private sector to meaningfully contribute to dialogue on the transition from informal to formal labour market and social protection responses to the crisis in line with ILO Recommendations No. 204 on the Transition from the Informal to Formal Economy and No. 205 on Employment and Decent Work for Peace and Resilience. These international standards will guide the process for carrying out the impact assessments and provide an overarching framework for recommendations and future actions. ILO and partner UN agencies will work with social partners to disseminate the findings and recommendations from the impact assessment and advance principles of freedom of association. The impact assessment will inform and UN agencies and national partners to examine ways to redesign and adapt existing employment and social protection measures in order to respond to people’s current needs.
