Development cooperation projects

The Gender Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Branch (GEDI) works to mainstream gender into all ILO development cooperation projects. This is defined by the ILO Action Plan for Gender Equality 2022–25 as “a strategy for making women’s as well as men’s concerns and experiences an integral dimension in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes in all political, economic and societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally, and inequality is not perpetuated.” The Branch also coordinates its own portfolio of development cooperation projects that aim to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment across the four strategic objectives of the Decent Work Agenda. This portfolio:
  • promotes ratification and implementation of the four key gender equality Conventions – Equal Remuneration Convention (No. 100), Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention (No. 111), Workers with Family Responsibilities Convention (No. 156) and Maternity Protection Convention (No. 183);
  • takes specific measures to promote women’s access to employment;
  • works to extend gender-equitable social protection; and
  • promotes equitable representation of women and men in decision making positions, and works to ensure that gender equality is on the agenda in tripartite discussions.
