title:

RECOMMENDATION 5. ILO should appoint regional peace and social cohesion focal points to support project offices more effectively as well as reengage a seconded staff in the PBSO HQ. Regional peace and social cohesion focal points should have the resources and systems in place to allow them to provide practical guidance and tools for assessing conflict sensitivity and including peacebuilding outcomes and indicators in employment programmes operating in fragile and conflicting contexts to country offices and national partners in a proactive manner. The focal point responsibility should be part of the staff members’ job descriptions. A guidance note and onboarding materials are needed to ensure a clear understanding of the role and its effective implementation. 56 Secondments from ILO to PBSO are very important. PBSO is a small organization with a wide thematic focus area and is dependent on secondments and JPOs for staffing, including for specific expertise. The ILO should reengage its secondment to PBSO in order to keep the attention and support capacity as well as help strengthen interagency processes on employment and decent work for peace programs.
