About Us

The ILO Country Office for Ethiopia and Somalia, based in Addis Ababa, coordinates and oversees the activities undertaken in these two countries. The office’s main objective is to work closely with ILOs constituents - Government, Employers and Workers organisations - to promote Decent Work for All.

The ILO Country Office aims at achieving the four strategic objectives of the ILO (Fundamental principles and rights at work and international labour standards; Employment and income opportunities; Social protection and social security; Social dialogue and Tripartism) in the countries of operation. The identification and achievement of the objectives depend on the needs of each of the constituents as reflected in each country’s Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) and drive to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Within the context of UN’s Delivering as One (DAO), the Country Office works within the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) to promote the ILO mandates, the needs of its constituents and in support of the national development strategies - and ensures their articulation in the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF).
