This Practical Guide, prepared by the International Labour Standards Department, seeks to give effect to one of the components of the international labour standards strategy approved by the ILO Governing Body. Technical cooperation is considered as an indispensable means to enhance the impact of the ILO standards system. It is necessary to ensure a better integration or linkage between technical cooperation and international labour standards. It is a “How To” guide and addresses a range of technical cooperation issues, from the contemporary global development aid architecture to resource mobilization and internal ILO cooperation.
The Guide aims to provide guidance to ILO staff at headquarters and in the field, on how to identify strategic entry points for promoting and further strengthening the impact of International Labour Standards. We also hope that it will guide ILO’s resource mobilization strategy. We hope that you will find this a useful tool.
