Around the world millions of people lack essential infrastructure, like roads and bridges, water supply, schools, clinics and hospitals, as well as access to basic services (water, health, education and markets). Providing infrastructure and maintaining it can improve living standards and have a direct impact in the quality of people's lives. Productive community infrastructures can also contribute to reducing poverty and have the potential for offering better economic and social benefits. The ILO's Employment-Intensive Investment Programme (EIIP) links infrastructure development and green works with employment creation relying on local labour and resources. Operating in over 70 countries, the EIIP promotes labour-based technologies that offer major advantages in terms of using investments in infrastructure to create work and income-generating opportunities, and to build the skills and capacities of local communities. Individuals are mostly employed for a short to medium time-frame and benefit from the wages they earn, the advantages of having a job and the infrastructure and the services that are improved through their commitments and work. Generally, these projects target vulnerable groups in society, mostly in rural areas, including the working poor, women, youth, refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and people with disabilities.
This guide consists of four main parts that follow the logical sequence of introducing an integrated EIIP vocational skills development programme: (1) understanding the context; (2) planning skills development in EIIPs; (3) implementing skills development in EIIPs; and (4) ensuring post-training support. Case studies and examples from specific project experiences illustrate good practices from different countries where EIIPs have been implemented.
