Description: Summary: "Building on the engagement with Government of the Union of Myanmar over the past decade and taking into account recent developments and decisions by the International Labour Conference, the ILO will develop its programme in Myanmar for the period November 2012 to April 2014 – a timeframe that reflects the need for immediate action on priority areas for the ILO as well as the preparatory work for a possible future Decent Work Country Programme. The immediate focus of the ILO programme in Myanmar remains on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, notably through i) the continued implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding with the Government on Forced Labour and ii) a scaled-up Freedom of Association programme. In these two areas the ILO will implement a comprehensive programme of work, while undertaking activities during 2013 in other key areas identified by the Government with inputs from the social partners. The overall programme consists of ten interlinked components, managed by the ILO Representative in Yangon with support from across the ILO."

Description: This brochure outlines the ILO framework for its technical cooperation programme in Myanmar over the next few years. An annex details the projects involved.In November 2012 the ILO Governing Body endorsed the programme framework for ILO technical cooperation activities in Myanmar. The programme was supported by tripartite consultation and recognizes the depth and scope of the reform agenda in Myanmar. While significant progress has been made, particularly in the elimination of forced labour and the promotion of freedom of association, much remains to be done to support the ongoing transition of the country - work that will support the strengthening of democratic institutions; assist the development and application of the legislative framework and the rule of law; ensure the full elimination of all forms of forced labour and the full implementation of freedom of association; and develop an efficient labour market based on fundamental principles and rights at work, supporting inclusive economic and social growth.
