Bringing Back Jobs Safely under the COVID-19 Crisis in the Philippines

The project contributes to improve the safety and health of workers in MSMEs in the non-metropolitan regions of the Philippines and mitigate the negative socioeconomic impact of the COVID-19 crisis. The project within the national network of training service providers delivers COVID OSH and digital entrepreneurship training translated into the specific local and sector context, and transmitted through training-of-trainers (ToT) seminars (mostly online). Successful experiences are compiled into case studies and disseminated in ways attractive to the non-metropolitan MSMEs. The project supports the pilot of the three Innovation Hubs, and provide the internet connectivity, co-working spaces, back-office services and linkage to the support programmes for the non-metropolitan MSMEs through these Hubs and the affiliated satellites. Lastly, the project establishes an interdisciplinary knowledge management system that strengthens the institutional capacity of key partner organizations.
