Strengthening the Impact on Employment of Sector and Trade Policies (STRENGTHEN)
The STRENGTHEN project is a joint initiative of the EU and the ILO and aims to strengthen the capabilities of country partners to analyse and design sector and trade policies and programmes that would enhance employment creation for more and better jobs. It consists of two components. The first component focuses on Sector Policies and supports and builds capacity among partner countries and development practitioners to enhance the positive impact of sector policies and programmes on employment. The second component focuses on Trade Policies and assists developing countries in harnessing international trade and trade-related foreign investment to provide more opportunities for decent work and increase the number of productively employed workers.
