Labor office, organization partner for employment of storm victims
Friday, January 13, 2012
THE Department of Labor and Employment (Dole) partners with the International Labor Organization (ILO) in assisting for the immediate humanitarian needs of the flash flood victims in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan cities.
In line with the rehabilitation, Dole, through its regional office in Northern Mindanao, deployed its staff to the different evacuation centers in the two cities last January 5 to 7, to ensure the skills profiling of the victims for livelihood assistance.
Affected victims or displaced workers and those with totally damaged livelihood are considered as priority beneficiaries for the said assistance.
Among the projects that Dole proposed to ILO are emergency employment for the displaced workers in the cleaning of debris, such as de-clogging of canals and water ways and road cleaning, and the provision of livelihood starter kits amounting to P10,000 for small businesses washed out by the flood such as trisikad driving, sari-sari store, dress shop, repair shop and other livelihood projects.
Also proposed are the inclusion of affected dependents between the ages 15 to 25 under the Special Program for the Employment of Students (Spes) and the restoration of some Dole-assisted livelihood projects in the region that were damaged.
At present, a series of consultation and coordination meetings are being done between Dole, ILO and other concerned agencies for the said proposals.
ILO, a specialized agency of the United Nations founded in 1919 as part of the Treaty of Versailles that ended First World War, has a mission in advancing opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity.
Under its Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs through the Emergency Revision of the Philippines (Mindanao) Humanitarian Action Plan 2012, its main priority is to provide clean water for drinking and bathing, food, emergency shelter and essential household items to worst-affected people in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan for the duration of three months since the incident.
Debris cleaning to reduce health risks and logistics services that ensure uninterrupted delivery of life-saving programs is also a priority.
Other priorities include medical supplies and assistance, psychosocial and livelihood support in cooperation with Dole.
