Introduction
In a joint effort to support governments and social partners in implementing gender-sensitive policy responses to the pandemic and during the recovery phase, UN Women and ILO developed the Global Joint Programme “Promoting decent employment for women through inclusive growth policies and investments in the care economy.”
This UN Women-ILO Joint Programme (JP) is focused on three key outcomes:
> Creating the political consensus for the adoption of macro-level economic policy drivers that support gender-equitable inclusive growth and more and better jobs for women, through evidence-based policy analysis and advocacy, technical advice and capacity building.
> Adopting sectoral and industrial policies that tackle occupational and sectoral segregation and enhance women’s access to decent employment opportunities, through policy advice, capacity development and technical support.
> Ensuring that investments in care service provision – in health, including long-term care, and in education, including early childhood education – are costed, financed and implemented through policy advice, capacity development and technical support.

The JP will be implemented at both the global and country levels, being Nepal one of the countries selected, where the activities will be implemented by UN Women Nepal Office and the ILO Nepal Office, in partnership with the National Planning Commission (NPC), the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security (MOLESS) and the Ministry of Women, Children and Senior Citizens (MoWCSC).
