The 19th Regional Seminar for Labour-based Practitioners
Sharing views, experiences and reviewing developments in employment-intensive approaches to creating communities that are resilient to socio-economic, environmental and climate change hazards.
In total, about eleven high-level communications were presented on the sub-themes as follows:
- Innovation in employment intensive technology, approach and work methods relating to the development of rural and urban infrastructure
- Enabling policy, legislative and institutional frameworks for the promotion of inclusive public employment programmes and green works in job-rich sectors
- Skills and competencies for transformative infrastructure and sustainable livelihood
- Employment intensive works in the context of fragility (i.e., natural disasters, conflict and refugee situation, economic decline, etc.)
The event highlighted the relevance of the skills development and life-long learning and the use of labour-based approaches to promote social justice for young women and men.
For over 30 years, the Employment Intensive Investment Programme (EIIP) of the ILO has lead the regional seminars for labour-based practitioners in the African region. The aim is to bring together practitioners, policy makers, planners, implementers, researchers and academics from the all over the world to share experiences including innovative approaches and to exchange views on specific themes related to employment intensive investments and labour-based technology. Around 70 low and middle-income countries including 40 African countries, have participated in this ILO programme.
