The ILO and the international financial institutions

 

Policy developments and working relations

The recent broadening of policy dialogue with the international financial institutions (IFIs) and the increased recognition given to social and labour concerns in this field is of particular relevance to the work of the ILO. The ILO's Governing Body regularly reviews the ILO's relations and collaboration with the IFIs. This section provides access to all recent reports on this subject, highlighting the most important policy developments from the perspective of ILO concerns, the areas with greatest potential for ILO involvement, and concrete steps to materialize further progress in strengthening ILO substantive relations with the IFIs.
