Development Cooperation
With over 50 years of experience in development cooperation on all continents and at all stages of development, the ILO today has a bigger portfolio than ever with 700 programmes and projects in more than 100 countries – with the support of 120 development partners.
Development cooperation builds bridges between the ILO’s standard-setting role and women and men everywhere. It is essential to give people decent work opportunities and an important means of assisting our constituents – workers, employers and governments – in making the Decent Work Agenda a reality. Simply put, development cooperation supports the technical, organizational and institutional capacities of ILO constituents for them to put in place meaningful and coherent social policy and ensure sustainable development.
The ILO's Development Cooperation Strategy 2015-17 provides both strategic and operational guidance on development cooperation priorities and principles to maximize results.
