This course is designed and delivered by international experts from the ILO dealing with the promotion of employment and decent work for peace and resilience.

1. Learning Block 1 – An overview of Recommendation 205: In this module, participants explore the definition of fragility and the factors that contribute to making a situation “fragile”. They focus on the ILO's mandate to promote peace and resilience and on its role in the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus. Participants also look at the Theory of Change underpinning ILO efforts in the promotion of employment programmes for peace, and learn about the ILO Jobs for Peace and Resilience flagship programme.

2. Learning Block 2 – An in-depth look at Recommendation 205: In this module, participants deepen their knowledge of the employment and decent work approaches and measures for crisis prevention and response presented in Recommendation 205 across a number of ILO policy areas.

3. Learning Block 3 – Recommendation 205 in action: In the final module, participants look into the promotion of knowledge sharing andawareness-raising on Recommendation 205 at the country level. This is achieved through the review of key good practices and case studies.

Throughout this MOOC, participants embark on a learning journey that takes them through three levels of knowledge to:

• Explain the content of Recommendation 205 and of the relevance of employment and decent work in the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus;
• Recognize the approaches and measures promoted by Recommendation 205 across the Decent Work Agenda;
• Gain exposure to real-life experiences and concrete practices of implementing Recommendation 205 to build sustainable peace and promote resilience.

By gaining knowledge on a wide array of policies, methods and tools to promote decent work and employment in situations of fragility, conflict and disaster, participants will be able to:

• Discuss labour market challenges and opportunities available to foster employment in fragile settings;
• Identify how each ILO policy area can contribute to the promotion of jobs for peace and resilience;
• Envision feasible and sustainable strategies to build lasting peace and resilience through the promotion of employment and decent work; and
• Explore potential partnerships to promote jobs for peace and resilience.
