ILO/Japan Multi-bilateral Programme and
the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RO-Bangkok)
Developing
countries in the Asia and Pacific region need support for appropriate
strategies to address labour issues.In
times of economic turmoil, massive underemployment and wage shrinkage
increase the demand for improved employment opportunities, and in times of
a stable economy, these countries need to continue to develop skills
training.
The
Government of Japan, acknowledging the difficulties faced by developing
countries in the region, worked with ILO RO-Bangkok to establish the
ILO/Japan Multi-bilateral Programme in 1974.This regional project combines the technical expertise of the
ILO, with financial support from the Government
of Japan. The ILO/Japan Multi-bilateral Programme covers Asia and the
Pacific countries in promoting Decent Work in the region through the
projects at community level, national level and regional level.
