EMPLOYMENT AND DECENT WORK FOR PEACE AND RESILIENCE

This MOOC provided participants with information and practical knowledge about policies, approaches, tools, methodologies and case studies for the promotion of employment and decent work. Together, these can help support crisis prevention, recovery, and the construction of sustainable peace and resilience. OBJECTIVES This MOOC implemented a hybrid approach combining purpose-driven, task-based and peer-to-peer learning activities to maximize interaction in the online environment. It brought together a combination of theoretical and participatory sessions through which participants could enhance their knowledge while fostering exchange. It also enabled participants to reflect on content and resources. CONTENT Learning Block 1: An Overview of Recommendation no. 205 In this module, participants explored the definition of fragility, its vicious cycle, and the factors that contribute to making a situation fragile. It further looked at the ILO Jobs for Peace and Resilience flagship programme and at the ILO's role in the Humanitarian-Development-Peace nexus. This module also looked at the Theory of Change underpinning ILO efforts in the promotion of employment programmes for peace. Learning Block 2: An In-Depth Look at Recommendation no. 205 In this module, participants deepened their knowledge of the employment and decent work approaches, as well as broadening their understanding of measures for crisis prevention and response presented in Recommendation no. 205 across a number of ILO policy areas. Learning Block 3: Recommendation no. 205 in Action In the final module, participants looked at the promotion of knowledge sharing and awareness raising on Recommendation no. 205 at the country level. This was achieved through the review of key good practices and case studies.
