ILO, through the employment for peace and development programme, in Somalia contributes to stability, peace and economic development by supporting the creation of decent work opportunities and developing community, public and private sector capacities to sustain equitable employment and livelihood opportunities.
Lasting peace in Somalia depends on a wide range of measures. Critical among them is access to decent work and livelihoods as it helps to re-orient people’s minds from conflict and destructive activities. It improves their material welfare, improves their capacity to access basic services, (water, education, health and shelter), and reduces poverty and social exclusion. Productive activities provide human security, a channel for social healing and a means of reducing the plight of the diverse conflict-affected vulnerable groups (like jobless youth, demobilized combatants, disabled people, refugees, returnees, the internally displaced and the female-headed and dependant households whose numbers soar during conflicts).
ILO programme approach enables an immediate and positive development process addressing the prevailing infrastructure, livelihoods and employment crisis to be set in motion unlocking the economic recovery process. The program strategy involves three complementary components:
- Employment Intensive Infrastructure Projects (EIIP)
- Local Economic Development/Community Driven Recovery (LED/CDD)
- Small Enterprise Development (SED)
