Toolkit for Mainstreaming Employment and Decent Work: Country Level Application
The first step in national level application of the Toolkit is to take stock of how the national development/programming framework affects employment and decent work in the country and where and how improvements could be made. The Toolkit offers a diagnostic and awareness raising checklist of questions for undertaking such an assessment or stock-taking exercise.
The guidelines presented below are intended to assist the UN Country Team, collectively and as individual agencies, to apply the Toolkit checklist as usefully and effectively as possible to deliver on employment and decent work outcomes. Government ministries, employers’ or workers’ organizations, other national stakeholders and development partners also may find the guidelines useful for applying the checklist to better understand or to assess the direct and indirect impact of their policies, programmes and activities on employment and decent work.
