title:

RECOMMENDATION 1. ILO and PBSO should further explore the evidence for and the interconnection and synergies between employment and peace, to expand its influence on the global agenda-setting. For ILO and PBSO further focus is recommended on understanding the dynamics of employment and peace including the different challenges arising in different contexts and already successfully started in the study “Jobs, Aid, Peace”35. This can include creating a distinction between employment promotion in fragile contexts; in high degrees of insecurity and violence; and amidst the consequences of armed conflict and violence. The ILO currently puts little emphasis on the latter two as it does not see itself as a crisis response actor though moving towards engaging in more fragile contexts. Strengthening the partnership with PBSO and other peacebuilding partners could improve this understanding.
