As part of the monitoring of progress towards achievement of gender related indicators of the ILO's P&B Outcome 5, the Senior Specialist on Gender Equality and Non Discrimination will lead DWT and RPU colleagues to advance this recommendation. This will include the suggested country coordination efforts, targeting Iraq and Jordan. Broader sessions to share information and exchange exprience will also be organized as appropriate. The team will work on developing the suggested mapping of possible partners to advance GEEW.

title:

Recommendation 2. Strengthen internal and external coherence for GEEW. The ILO ROAS should implement a more integrated and cohesive strategy across its various GEEW-oriented projects at the country and regional levels. Externally, it should strengthen and, when suitable, formalize existing partnerships, especially with UN agencies, and broaden its collaboration with other stakeholders involved in GEEW. Thus: a. ILO Country Offices should hold regular internal cross-project coordination meetings to discuss progress, share resources, adopt common approaches, and identify synergies or opportunities for collaboration for GEEW progress while promoting information sharing and learning between projects. b. The ILO ROAS could conduct a mapping exercise to identify current and potential GEEW-oriented partners in each country and at a regional level with whom it can partner more predictably. GEEW partnerships should be analysed using the parameters of context, comparative advantage, and capacity and categorized by primary function (fundraising, advocacy, implementing partner, policy, etc.). c. The ILO should discuss and reach a common agreement on how to broaden engagement on GEEW beyond its traditional tripartite constituencies with non-traditional actors—sectoral trade unions, small business associations, civil society organizations, or media and communication networks—to foster more comprehensive, innovative, and context-specific solutions to GEEW and decent work challenges.
