description:

The Skills for Employment Project was a major initiative of the FCDO aimed to promote jobs and reduce the country’s dependence on labour migration. ILO’s SEP-TA component provided technical assistance designed to move employment and migration laws and policies forward. The ILO’s longstanding relationship with key government ministries and a responsive posture even in the face of frequent changes in cabinet leadership and political priorities, contributed to continuity and trust. This enabled the ILO to contribute to the policy process. Insider or former insider Nepali experts were instrumental in championing a policy vision. All of the factors were particularly critical at moments when government partners were less directed, progressive, or capacitated, and when government changes disrupted focus. Trust at the national level also translated into confidence building in newly established provincial and municipality centers, where capacity was stretched and policy mandates for generating employment strategies and tripartite mechanisms immediate. While the project achieved a lot in the employment space, it got less traction on the more politically sensitive and multi-stakeholder issues related to labour migration. None the less, the trusted relationship undoubtedly contributed to the invitation for the ILO to help draft the national plan of action for the Nepal’s Global Compact on Migration.
