   South-South Cooperation and the ILO: Mainstreaming the Decent Work Agenda through the dissemination of good practices

   28 April 2013

   The Good Practices Guide on South-South and Triangular Cooperation is part of the ILO's commitment to the promotion of South-South and triangular cooperation, and is targeted at governments, workers, employers, and civil society to help them learn from initiatives based on southern solutions that have proven effective in promoting decent work. SSTC provides an important mechanism to leverage resources and expertise – in particular by facilitating the transfer of knowledge and experience of the world of work in the Global South. It is necessary to systematize the collection and dissemination of such projects. Knowledge sharing is central to South-South and triangular cooperation, and greater visibility needs to be given to scalable and replicable initiatives through a good practices guide accessible on the web.

   Public-Private Partnerships in HIV prevention and care in India

   17 May 2012

   Partnerships are at the forefront of all ILO activities in the field of HIV and the world of work. The success of the ILO in reaching thousands of workers at risk of, or otherwise affected by HIV, can be attributed to its strong collaboration with a large number of bilateral and multilateral partners. The ILO’s experience with its corporate group partners in India shows that the average cost of a prevention programme covering a workforce of around 10,000 people would be around USD 9,000. That translates to an average annual cost of USD 0.9 per person, which is much lower than the cost of first-stage drugs of USD 19 per person per month.

   Work4Youth: The MasterCard Foundation’s Partnership with the ILO: Public-Private Partnership

   28 February 2012

   A public-private partnership (PPP) between the ILO and The MasterCard Foundation has been established to improve data and knowledge on youth employment that will, in turn, help the ILO to better guide constituents to shape effective policies and programmes on youth employment in 28 countries worldwide. The way the “Work4Youth (W4Y)” project does this, is through better knowledge on the challenges young people face in their labour market transitions at national, regional and global levels, as well as through the identification and dissemination of good practices in policies and programmes. The project supports participating countries in bridging their knowledge gaps on the particularities of youth in the labour market, including in areas such as financial inclusion, wage and earnings and other conditions of work, and supports them in the development or review of youth employment policies and programmes that efficiently ease the transition of young women and men to decent work.
