In 2016, the ILO proposed a Decent Work Country Strategy Framework based on development challenges, priorities expressed by the Ministry of Labour and Social Development, as well as past ILO interventions in Saudi Arabia. At the same time, the ILO has been active in several areas across the country through different technical cooperation projects as well as flagship ILO programmes which aim to enhance decent work in the Kingdom.
