Introduction
The position is located in the Priority Action Programme “Transition from the informal to the formal economy” (AP/F) under the DDG portfolio. The APs focus on the effective coordination and integration of policies and activities across the different areas of the ILO’s work and the provision of integrated support to constituents.
They are expected to function as entry points for leveraging partnerships and cooperation in support of the Global Coalition for Social Justice. The four APs have been designed to foster integrated cross-Office action and collaborative working modalities across departments at headquarters and in field offices, addressing decent work deficits affecting specific, well-defined populations and ensuring integrated policy responses aimed to result in measurable outcomes. In this way, the APs will enable the consolidation and expansion of in-house expertise and knowledge on key policy areas of the world of work; this will translate into increased impact at country level and the stronger positioning of the ILO globally. The APs will be implemented in close cooperation with ILO tripartite constituents and involve relevant entities of the multilateral system, as well as development partners and civil society organizations concerned with the specific theme each AP is targeting.
The APs aim to consolidate relevant facets of the specific AP themes that are addressed by different organizational units, adding value to and enabling this work by:
(a) facilitating knowledge exchange;
(b) developing and sharing new tools and methodologies;
(c) strengthening advocacy and communication;
(d) improving coordination of capacity development initiatives, including with the ITC–ILO; and
(e) engaging with multilateral organizations and building consensus and coordinated action that ensures the bulk of the risk is not placed on the most vulnerable workers least able to bear it. Such actions should ensure that APs’ impact on knowledge, policy advice and capacity-building is significant, measurable and visible.
