Bangladesh skills development policy 2010-2015
01 April 2012
Skills development depends on many different actors, including the private sector, non-for-profit actors, NGOs and civil society; as well as the large number of government ministries delivering skills based education and training. Consequently, the National Skills Development policy for Bangladesh represents a groundbreaking attempt to improve coordination and delivery of skills in Bangladesh for the betterment of the nation as a whole. This policy also extends and builds on other major government policies such as the Education Policy of 2009, the Non-Formal Education Policy of 2006 and the Youth Policy of 2003.

Skills vision 2016
01 April 2012
31% of the population in Bangladesh lives below the international poverty line (US$1.25 per day). This means every third person is struggling every day to survive. Poverty causes flow-on effects as well, on global problems such as conflict, crime and environmental degradation. Training and skill development offers a way to address the needs of Bangladesh’s huge and expanding population by providing skills to enhance employability and reduce poverty by ensuring safe and decent work for all.

Tripartite National Conference on Green Jobs: The Way Forward
26 September 2011
It is critical that Asia adapts to the effects of climate change. The region’s vulnerability to climate change and climate variability is dictated by its unique physical and socioeconomic attributes, including high population density, relatively low income levels for a large part of the population, and the prominence of agriculture and fishing in providing livelihoods for the rural poor. So, these countries require well developed and gender sensitive climate adaptation related green jobs programs that will bring significant social and employment benefits at the local level for both women and men.

Green Jobs: The Facts
26 September 2011
Green Jobs – Good Jobs: A Dual Challenge The emergence of Green Jobs has become emblematic of the world’s determination to develop a more sustainable global economy and society that preservers the environment for present and future generations and is more equitable and inclusive of all people and countries. The ILO’s Constituents in Bangladesh – the government, worker and employer organizations – have responded enthusiastically to this opportunity to equate green jobs to productive and sustainable decent work that will benefit all. The Australian Government – ILO Partnership Agreement (2010 – 2015), in its supporting role, has identified the Green Jobs in Asia programme as a positive step toward such a just transition as part of the broader goal of improving the lives of vulnerable people in Bangladesh – and across Asia and the Pacific.

Understanding Children's Work Country Report in Bangladesh
01 July 2011
The Government of Bangladesh has accorded the fight against child labour a prominent place in its national development agenda and has made a number of important commitments in this area. There is a wide range of on-going Government, bilateral, multilateral and NGO interventions of relevance to child labour in Bangladesh. But important gaps still persist. The critical challenge moving forward is to extend current efforts within a unified strategic framework to ensure that they effectively address child labour. The current report aims to help inform national efforts against child labour. The report presents evidence concerning the extent, nature, causes and consequences of child labour, and, on this basis, identifies key policy priorities moving forward.
