   The CEB Toolkit for Mainstreaming Employment and Decent Work presented at the ECOSOC

   06 July 2007

   One year ago, the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) approved a Ministerial Declaration encouraging the UN system to develop a toolkit to promote decent work. Since then the ILO has worked closely with other agencies through the Chief Executives Board (CEB) chaired by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. The final product, a CEB Toolkit for Mainstreaming Employment and Decent Work, is designed to help organizations throughout the multilateral system assess and improve employment and decent work outcomes of their own policies, programmes and activities.
