title:

Recommendation 1 – Continue to follow recommendations for improvement and use updated knowledge and information, as well as partner feedback for better and continuous adaptation to changing contexts and needs. The gender sensitive approach is resulting in increased relevance of the projects. Another area that has already started to be strengthened is targeting youth, especially through innovative areas of work more linked to digital and new technologies. Green energy, green jobs or digital knowledge are also new areas to further explore. The learnings from this work should be used to further develop youth targeting, combining them with the existing knowledge at local level of the existing needs in terms of capacities at the technical level. Both province level plans and national should continue to inform ILO’s TA for the design of activities that are relevant, namely taking into consideration local realities and local plans and budgets. The results of the experiences with new construction materials like fly ash are also potentially scalable and can be standardised, as well as those related to private sector involvement in the EPWP.
