ISLAMABAD: The International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the National Rural Support Programme (NRSP) have launched a project to ensure employment for flood-affected communities in Sindh.
The project entitled “Cash for Work” has been launched in Badin and Mirpurkhas districts. A senior ILO official said on Wednesday that the project will generate employment opportunities for flood-affected people and help provide access to healthcare facilities. It will also ensure clean drinking water supply for the two worst-affected districts. He said employment opportunities will be in line with international labour standards, with “no child labour and no discrimination”.
