action_plan:

While the Office concurs that policy influence and capacity building of constituents is essential, engagement at political level is already covered through several mechanisms: - Development, review and evaluation of DWCP - Participation of ILO in Sector Coordination Groups and other relevant discussions at country level. - Support to our constituents to engage in policy reforms. - The development of tools and methodologies / such as good practices guides The ILO aims at supporting constituents and advocating for international labour and social security standards and through that influencing national social protection policy. It will continue to: - strengthen social protection in DWCPs and UN country programmes and provide capacity development in the context of its technical advisory services. - develop its technical expertise and its service offer as part of its Technical Support Facility in upcoming topical thematic areas such as on the digital transformation of social protection. This will include data governance and management and the use of appropriate digital tools and applications for the expansion of coverage of social protection. The expertise on social protection for climate action both in the framework of adaptation and mitigation efforts towards a just transition, will be strengthened. Furthermore, the development of the 3rd phase of the Flagship Programme, which will take place in 2025, will be an opportunity to review the relevance of the thematic areas. Documentation and sharing of learning from programme activities will be encouraged through the GFP’s Results Monitoring Tool. See Action Plan in Recommendation 6 below.

title:

Recommendation 4: Develop and implement a contextualised mechanism for policy influence and capacity building. Establishing a contextualised policy influence mechanism implies developing mechanism informed by ILO’s global normative role and experience, tailored to the specific needs and contexts of participating countries. It should include tools and strategies for higher-level engagement to influence policy, ensuring participation from decision-makers and stakeholders. Also, it demands expanding technical capacities in emerging thematic areas by building technical capacities in areas such as digital economy inclusion, green jobs, or resilient social protection systems and implementing ongoing professional development Programmes, including short courses for tripartite partners and relevant government technical staff. The establishment of the mechanism needs to be based on documenting and sharing learnings, namely by improving the Results Monitoring Tool through continuously documenting Programme learnings through lessons learned logs and regularly update the repository of Programme materials and developing a legacy package to capture and share the outcomes, best practices, and lessons from the GFP. The mechanism should also facilitate experience sharing and capacity building, which can be done by establishing fora with tripartite partners to share experiences and best practices in social dialogue implementation. And promote the conduction of needs assessments to implement mechanisms for continuous capacity building of system actors. Expected outcomes are enhanced policy influence at national levels, leading to stronger and more sustainable social protection systems. Also, increased technical capacity to address emerging challenges and opportunities, ensuring the GFP remains relevant and effective. The mechanism is also expected to lead to comprehensive documentation and sharing of Programme learnings, fostering continuous improvement and knowledge transfer. Strengthened engagement and collaboration among tripartite partners, enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of social dialogue and social protection initiatives is also foreseen.
