Skills for Trade and Economic Diversification (STED) in Bangladesh - The case of Pharmaceuticals and Agro-Food
31 December 2011
This report presents an application of the Skills for Trade and Economic Diversification (STED) methodology to two sectors – agro-food and pharma – of Bangladesh’s economy.The application of STED in Bangladesh exemplifies this cooperation on the ground, and its integration with on-going ILO technical assistance. Two existing projects are closely linked to STED work in Bangladesh: The project “Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Reform” provides support at the macro and sectoral level to increase the relevance of TVET and implement mechanisms for skills anticipation, namely through industry skills councils in four pilot sectors. The project “Assessing and Addressing the Effects of Trade on Employment” (ETE) has established a high level policy dialogue on coherence between trade and labour market policies and promotes a better understanding of the linkages between the two. Both projects provide a strong platform to support follow up and implementation of STED recommendations in Bangladesh.

Ethiopia: Women with disabilities harness the power of entrepreneurship
23 November 2011
Despite the role of empowerment in improving the livelihoods of poor people, there is still a huge gap between the theory of empowerment and its practice. To help bridge this gap and provide guidance, this story describes real-life empowerment made possible by the ILO-Irish Aid Partnership Programme on disability which set out to provide and promote entrepreneurship training for disabled women in Ethiopia, in partnership with local organizations. It is part of a series of stories of empowerment produced by the Development Co-operation Directorate - Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Network on Poverty Reduction of the OECD.
