ILO-ACTRAV remains committed to the continuous engagement with workers’ organizations on the UN reforms in general and more particularly on their role in the formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks (UNSDCFs) at national level. Against this background, ILO-ACTRAV developed a reference manual for trade unions emphasising their political and developmental role in the UN sustainable development agenda and processes. The manual explains the UN country level development processes such as Common Country Analyses (CCAs) leading up to the consolidation and adoption of the Cooperation Frameworks. The implication of COVID-19 on the achievement of SDGs, specifically on SDG 8 is also demonstrated.
