Pacific Growth and Employment Project

The project supports industry led action plans that enhance economic growth, deliver skills development and employment opportunities for youth, and sustainable and decent jobs for local workers.

The Pacific Growth and Employment Project is an important component of the Australian Government - ILO Partnership Agreement (2010-2015). The project will support industry led action plans that enhance economic growth, deliver skills development and employment opportunities for youth, and sustainable and decent jobs for local workers. The ILO, as the implementing partner, will work closely with the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) and the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) who will manage the project. Together, these two social partners bring industry-links and the practical experience and perspective of their networks in the region that will generate new and realistic insights into how to improve employment outcomes. The PGEP is intended to improve employment opportunities for sustainable and productive employment growth in the tourism and transport sectors in Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu. The PGEP management committee comprising of senior officers from the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Australian Council of Trade Unions has appointed two project officers to implement the project activities.
