Supporting the acceleration of decent job creation and enhancing social protection for just transition in the Philippines

The UN Joint Programme (JP) on "Supporting the acceleration of decent job creation and enhancing social protection for just transition in the Philippines" accelerates the implementation of the country's national policy and programme frameworks by developing innovative and responsive strategies for decent job creation, accessible and integrated social protection, and just transition. It supports the adoption of a Global Accelerator Roadmap through national, sub-national, and sectoral dialogues and key consultations with stakeholders, and enhances the capacities of institutions and relevant stakeholders to fully implement the GA Roadmap. Specifically, the JP supports the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028, the Philippine Labor and Employment Plan, and the Social Protection Plan. It contributes to the long-term National Employment Master Plan, as mandated by the new Trabaho Para sa Bayan (TPB) Act, and enhances the capacities of multi-stakeholders to participate in multi-level consultations on the GA Roadmap formulation to be steered by the TPB Inter-Agency Committee. As previously defined by the Philippines, the GA Roadmap focuses on two sectors identified as key employment generators – the construction and transportation sectors. The joint programme brings together critical national and sectoral stakeholders, leveraging the resources of the UN, strategically led by the International Labour Organization, United Nations Development Programme, and the United Nations Children’s Fund, along with key government agencies, particularly the Department of Labor and Employment, National Economic and Development Authority, Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Transportation, and Department of Social Welfare and Development.
