12th African Regional Meeting, Johannesburg, South Africa, 11–14 October 2011

The 12th African Regional Meeting will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, from Tuesday 11 to Friday 14 October 2011. The Meeting will focus particularly on the themes taken up in the Report that the ILO Director-General will submit, entitled Empowering Africa’s Peoples with Decent Work. The proposed agenda of the Meeting is thus to discuss progress made by the countries in the region towards achieving the targets set by the Decent Work Agenda in Africa, 2007-15, adopted by the 11th African Regional Meeting, as well as to set out future priority actions for the region to achieve the Decent Work Agenda in Africa.
