Workers’ Organizations
The ILO Office in Nepal has been able to bring all major trade unions closer on common trade union issues like child labour, youth employment and decent work as well as on policy formulation processes like Labour Market Reform which includes labour law reform, social security for workers and National Labour Commission Acts. The ILO Office in Nepal has been working in these areas with an umbrella co-ordination body of major trade unions named Joint Trade Union Co-ordination Centre (JTUCC) in Nepal.
The ILO/ACTRAV Norway Project has been a key source of funding to enhance the capacity of Nepalese Trade Unions since 2007. The project supports major Trade Unions to enhance their capacity for ensuring effective representation of workers in social dialogue processes at different levels. The project focuses on Social Dialogue, Promotion of Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining and supporting for Trade Union Action against Child Labour.
Employers’ Organization
The ILO/Bureau for Employers’ Activities (ACT/EMP) in partnership with the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) has launched two projects in Nepal which are under implementation since April 2009. The primary objectives of these projects are to enhance the capacity of employers’ organization like FNCCI in implementing various activities in line with the Decent Work Country Programme for Nepal. ACTEMP exclusively promotes ILO’s global objectives in regard to strengthening tripartism and social dialogue. ACTEMP’s two projects focus on employment promotion through trainings, entrepreneurship development, advocacy and lobbying for better social dialogue. Project's one of the major objectives is also the promotion of youth employment through various activities, and bring ILO constituents (employers, workers and government) under one roof for social justice. All activities being implemented under ACTEMP projects in Nepal directly contribute to DWCP.
