Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Government of Sweden, through the Swedish Agency for International Development (SIDA), and the International Labour Organization (ILO) have signed a partnership agreement worth SEK170,000,000 (US$17 million) to implement a five-year project entitled MozTrabalha II, to promote dignified employment and work for Mozambican women and men living in poverty, with a focus on structural transformation and just transition in Mozambique.<\/p>\n

The project\u2019s objectives will be achieved through engagement with the main constraints to the creation and expansion of productive jobs and dignified working conditions. The project will be implemented at national, sectoral and transversal levels to achieve the following objectives:<\/p>\n

(a) To support the Government and its partners at national and provincial level, such as the Secretary of State for Youth and Employment (SEJE), Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MITSS), Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA) and Workers\u2019 Organizations (CONSILMO and OTM-CS) to design and implement better and more favourable economic and sectoral policies, as well as labour market institutions, with the aim of promoting employment through structural transformation in key sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n

(b) In two selected sectors, and with a geographical focus on northern Mozambique, the project will support employment outcomes for young women and men living in poverty by promoting access to sustainable employment opportunities in enterprises and economic units transitioning to greater productivity and carbon-neutral production; and<\/p>\n

(c) In order to enable sustainable and lasting results at the national, provincial and sectoral levels, the project will empower the tripartite constituents of the ILO, as well as relevant stakeholders at the national, provincial and local levels to enable them to better address key constraints and constraints to the creation of favourable jobs for the poor through systemic and sustainable enterprise development and policy interventions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen a great deal of work during the first six years of MozTrabalha, especially in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic,\u201d said the Ambassador of Sweden in Mozambique, Mette Sunnergren, during the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding in Maputo. \u201cWith this second phase of the project, we aim to go further. By working at the systems level, in selected sectors, and by addressing the root causes of the issues employers are facing in investing and hiring, we hope to be able to create sustainable and decent job opportunities for large numbers of Mozambicans. Our ambition is that these jobs especially benefit young Mozambican men and women who live in poverty outside Maputo.\u201d<\/p>\n

In turn, the Director of the ILO Office for Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique, George Okutho, said: \u201cThe project will continue to consistently integrate the gender component into its interventions in order to support more employment opportunities, better working conditions and labour rights for women.\u201d<\/p>\n

Okutho added that the ILO would like to thank the Swedish government for its continued collaboration in the implementation of the project, which will make a sustainable contribution to job creation and poverty alleviation for the people of Mozambique.<\/p>\n

The Embassy of Sweden in Mozambique also organised a discussion led by representatives of the Secretariat of State for Youth and Employment (SEJE), Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MITSS), Confederation of Economic Associations of Mozambique (CTA) and Workers\u2019 Organizations (CONSILMO and OTM-CS), as well as other interested parties.<\/p>\n
