Traduction de «Micro-work » (Anglais → Français) :

Target borrowers include unemployed micro-entrepreneurs, young self-employed, minority groups, women and rural communities where microfinance can help with work-integration, health care, social housing and education.

The financing facilities could also provide appropriate resources to support training and certification programmes which improve and accredit skills for energy efficiency; provide resources for research on and demonstration and acceleration of uptake of small-scale and micro- technologies to generate energy and the optimisation of the connections of those generators to the grid; be linked to programmes undertaking action to promote energy efficiency in all dwellings to prevent energy poverty and stimulate landlords letting dwellings to render their property as energy-efficient as possible; provide appropriate resources to support soci ...[+++]al dialogue and standard-setting aiming at improving energy efficiency and ensuring good working conditions and health and safety at work.

That can be everything from milk to vegetables and fruits to wheat. Most of the work we do is around creating these sustainable solutions and building them out through almost micro-loan/micro-finance types of programs whereby they can actually grow excess food and then sell or trade it for a profit.

Ms. Biggs: I will get back to you on the exact number of projects but we work with micro-credit and micro-finance in a number of countries of focus.

In order to enhance the productivity of labour and expand the demand for labour the following could be pursued: - ensure that the macro-economic policies support broad based economic growth and widespread distribution of its benefits; - promote equitable access to assets such as skills, land, credit, capital and technology, to enhance work opportunities in rural and urban areas and the productivity of work, in particular for women ; - support the formulation and implementation by partner countries - as part of partners' overall strategy to reduce poverty - of consistent overall employment strategies on the basis of a commitment to accelerate the increase in productive employment in the private sector with the aim of having an economic pol ...[+++]icy which should be both job and productivity-driven ; - support the development of an environment favourable to small enterprises and micro-enterprises, including those in the informal sector through, inter alia, the provision of appropriate and efficient credit facilities, notably micro- credit; - support improvements in quality/relevance and the expansion of education and training systems including lifelong learning; no sustainable increases in employment and productivity can be achieved without raising the qualifications and responsiveness of human resources to economic change; - where appropriate, promote labour-intensiveness of investment in economic and social infrastructures that use local resources and provide for their effective integration into the local socio-economic context. c) Health Under the "Horizon 2000" initiative, the Council has identified health as a major priority of development aid and of coordination between the Community and Member States.
