Strategic alliances at the global level. The ILO has invited all UN agencies and the Bretton Wood institutions to contribute to the further development of the Global Employment Agenda (GEA) and the reparations for the next step, A Global Alliance for Employment. The form, content and timing of these contributions will be decided jointly by the ILO and the other agencies. The review of existing global strategies can be a basis for such discussions. A first such strategic alliance is successfully in operation between the UN, the World Bank and the ILO on youth employment with the active involvement of the Secretary General of the UN, the President of the World Bank and the Director General of the ILO. A further example of a successful alliance under the Global Employment Agenda is the strategic alliance between ILO and UNESCO on technical and vocational education and training.
In order to validate the major policy challenges of the GEA, a high-level Round Table was held in Montreal to coincide with the G8 Employment and Labour Ministerial Meeting, which had decided that
workforce knowledge and skills development would be a major agenda item.
