Future of Work for Youth in Fragile states
(The Sierra Leone and Liberia Dialogue)
Freetown, Sierra Leone
28 and 29 September 2017
Future of Work for Youth in Fragile states
(The Sierra Leone and Liberia Dialogue)
1. Introduction
This report summarises and describes two days Dialogue “Future of
Work for Young People in Fragile States”. The intention was to
create a space for dialogue from ILO constituents from Sierra Leone
and Liberia. The workshop was well attended with 50 participants,
including a Senator from Liberia, several ministries well represented,
youth representatives of the Democratic Republic of Congo and
representatives of the Ministry of Labour of Afghanistan. Annex 4
presents the full list of participants. Both Employers organisations
and workers organisations were represented and all the participants
played a positive, constructive and active role in exploring how to
address the challenges of developing jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities for young people in the context
of fragile states paradigm.
2. The Bite sizes
To support understanding of some of the key concepts “bite sizes” were developed on the following topics;
1. The Concept of Fragile States 2. The Fragility compass 3. Decent work 4. Quality and/or Quantity of Work
3. The Case Studies
The three sectors that were of particular interest to the participants were
extractive industries, Information Communication and Technology (ICT) and
agriculture / rural environments. Consequently 12 short case studies were
developed to draw out some of the key issues and strategies in the context of
fragile states. Four case studies addressed ICT from perspectives of
entrepreneurship opportunities, reflections on how to scale up and TVET needs
for young people to catch up in the digital divide. The second sector, extractive
industries introduced the issue of decent work deficits, government policy and
women’s entrepreneurship. The third sector, agriculture addressed value
chains, how to stem the migration from rural to urban settings and creating
new jobs and agri-businesses. The 12 case studies were uploaded to the e-
campus and 8 were used during the workshop
(https://ecampus.itcilo.org/course/view.php?id=408).
4. The Living Case studies
Two young entrepreneurs from the Democratic Republic of Congo, were invited to share their experiences of
setting up a business, what helped and what hindered them. Their contributions are described below in the
second session of the first day. The two entrepreneurs remained for the whole workshop and participated fully,
giving interesting comparisons with their experiences in DRC.

5. The workshop
The workshop lasted for two days and on each day there were four sessions, starting at 8.30am and finishing
around 5pm. A summary of each session follows;
5.1 Day one session one
The Session was opened by Dennis Zulu, Regional Director of the ILO for West Africa and Joel Alcocer, Senior
Programme officer from ITCILO. Mr Geir Tonstol from ILO Geneva provided an overview of the ILO Centenary
Initiative on the Future of Work. This was followed by a short input on the Fragility Compass and a group
exercise designed to simultaneously explain the “compass points” and uncover the current situation in Sierra
Leone and Liberia. In small groups, participants considered one of the compass points and ranked their country
situation. Then in plenary, using a large compass/spider diagram on the floor, participants shared both the
ranking and the reasons they had reached those conclusions. There were many similarities in the compass
between Liberia and Sierra Leone, their internal armed conflicts and more recently the Ebola epidemics. One
significant difference was the global market for Iron ore, with a drop from 150 dollars to 40 dollars per tonne
causing catastrophe for that particular extractive industry and the multiplier effect to small companies in its
value chain.
5.2 Day one session two
This session was a panel interview with two young
entrepreneurs from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
(DRC). The two entrepreneurs (Romuald Sadaka and Kakel
Mbumb) had both won an ILO (PAJECK) competition of seed
funding and had established small enterprises. The session
was designed as a “Good morning Sierra Leone” breakfast
show, with participants being the studio audience. The aim
of the session was to explore youth entrepreneurship, how
to make is successful and what kind of obstacles there are to
overcome. The participants reflected on some of the issues
facing young people in Sierra Leone and Liberia and how to
they additional problems of youth unemployment including
participation in armed groups and illegal activities. The other issue related to migration to urban centres and
government attempts to decentralise services in order to stem rural – urban migration.
5.3 Day one session three
This session was designed to draw out a range of issues relating to youth employment in fragile state. In total 12
case studies were designed and uploaded to the e-campus
(https://ecampus.itcilo.org/mod/folder/view.php?id=13336) and 8 of them were used in the session. The case
studies were designed around the ICT, rural and extractive industry sectors. The issues addressed in the case
studies included;
Decent work deficits
How to upscale successful but small SME development projects
The provision of Business Development Services
The role of TVET and education
Value Chains
The role of the ILO constituents
The role of the private sector
Each group prepared feedback on how they had tackled the case studies and reflected on the high degree of
relevance to their country situation.
5.4 Day one session four - The Debate
The purpose of this session was to introduce the decent work concept and the arguments for and against the
principle. Participants were divided into small groups to prepare for a classic debate. Each of the ten teams
nominated one person who was given the floor and one minute to present their case in support or against the
motion. At the end of the ten statements participants were invited to walk the floor to cast their final vote for
or against the motion. The for vote won by approximately two thirds of the vote, although there were some
very compelling arguments against. The debate was passionate, hot headed an excitable and thoroughly
enjoyed by all. Two broad conclusions that we drew from the activity were;
1. Advocacy is a powerful tool, we concluded this because many of the participants asked to develop the arguments against the motion, voted against – not because they did not believe in decent work, but because they were already committed to the case the were advocating.
2. The Decent work concept is seen as an either or…meaning that decent work will limit the number of jobs available and in Sierra Leone and Liberia and some genuinely could not imagine the concept being a priority.
The session concluded by showing one of the ILO videos on Decent work and a comment that it does not have to
be an either or situation, many of the decent work ideals are easy to implement and desirable, such as contracts
and OSH. Participants reflected that they should be working toward decent work where it does not already
exist.
5.5 Day two session one
The session began with a relaxation and guided visualisation exercise, where participants individually envisioned
2030 and the future of work. From their visualisations they worked in small groups to share and develop one
vision and used the large timelines (3 m long) to capture their ideas.
5.6 Day two session two
Continuing to work on the timelines, each group added a “sector lens”
either ICT, agriculture or extractive industries and worked from 2016 to
the vision, developing milestones of what needed to happen. There
was an interesting degree of common agreement from the different
groups.
5.7 Day two session three
This session began with an input on how to undertake a root cause analysis, after which participants were
invited to take one problem or issue from the timelines and undertake a root cause analysis. The key message
emerging from this session was the need to make a distinction between the symptoms and root causes and
make sure that the it is the root-cause not the symptom that is addressed.
5.8 Day two session four
The final session was dedicated to action planning. The group work was back in related ministries or employers
organisations or workers organisations. They reflected on their sphere of influence and control. Each team
prepared a short message or statement on the future of work to influence the discussion. Then the groups
prepared detailed action plans that they intend to implement over the coming 12 months.
The workshop was closed with reflections on the thematic areas discussed from Mr Geir Tonstol and final
reflections and thanks from Mr Dennis Zulu and the distribution of certificates of attendance to participants.
6. The workshop outputs
The key outputs from the workshop were;
- Concrete action plans to address youth employment and entrepreneurship
- 9 Visions of the future of work
- 3 Fragile state compass assessments
- 10 messages for the ILO constituent about the future of work
- A majority vote in favour of Decent work as an strategy to transit from fragility to resilience and
development
7. The conclusion
In his closing remarks, Mr Zulu reflected on how successful the event had been and raised the possibility of
follow-up sessions to take place in Sierra Leone and Liberia in early 2017 to monitor progress against the action
plans.
The two day dialogue was very well received from participants, it was highly participative with no long ppt
interventions and this was both commented upon and appreciated. This facilitated the creation of space for real
dialogue and debate. New concepts and ideas were introduced and appreciated such as the fragile states
compass and the root cause analysis. It is apparent that there was a strong commitment and urgency in
addressing youth employment and entrepreneurship, however it was equally apparent that there are capacity
development needs for ILO constituents, in order for them to play the full role they desire in making their
contribution. The needs are varied reflecting the differing degrees of leadership, resource mobilization and
experience of their staff.
