The ILO, with funding from the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida), is supporting its tripartite constituents in Mozambique towards the creation of productive employment and decent working conditions for Mozambican women and men, particularly youth and those living in poverty. Applying a systems approach, the 5-year MozTrabalha project aims to promote the creation of more and better jobs at the national and sectoral levels, as well as through capacity development support to its constituents, namely the Government of Mozambique, Employers Organisations, and Workers Organisations.
The MozTrabalha project is anchored in the goals of the National Employment Policy (NEP) and the Plano de Acção da Política de Emprego (PAPE, 2021-2024). It is designed to support the further implementation of the NEP and PAPE through increased employment mainstreaming in macroeconomic and sectoral government work as well as the establishment of dedicated implementation tools such as pro-employment budgeting and employment impact assessments. At the sectoral level, using a market systems development approach, it will promote productive employment for youth and women living in poverty, particularly in the Beira and Nacala corridor, through sustainable enterprise development in the construction and forestry / wood processing sectors.
MozTrabalha’s overall aim and principle is to create productive employment and decent working conditions, at scale, with sustainable outcomes, and using a systems approach that promotes structural transformation and which will underpin all project interventions. Cross-cutting themes include a continuous focus on poverty reduction through employment creation, social dialogue and labour standards, the promotion of gender equality, as well as actively furthering the just transition towards a carbon-neutral economy.
