   Trade Unions and Decent Work Country Programmes: A Resource Package

   15 December 2010

   Tripartism and social dialogue are essential tools to achieve the Decent Work Agenda and should be mainstreamed throughout the Office, but particularly in the context of the Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP)1 process which is a tool to implement the Social Justice Declaration and the Global Jobs Pact.All ILO constituents should be involved in the planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of Decent Work activities at the country level.As one of the four strategic objectives, tripartism and social dialogue is the policy framework for the entire DWCP process and a tool to operationalize the other strategic objectives. They constitute a core element of the 2010-2015 Strategic Policy Framework (SPF) and can assist the ILO structures at all levels to apply this approach.
