Since the establishment of its Representative Office in Jerusalem in 1995, the ILO has collaborated with Palestinian tripartite partners to advance decent work for women and men in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. Together, we are implementing the Decent Work and Recovery Programme (DWRP) 2026–2029 to expand access to employment opportunities, social protection and enterprise recovery, while strengthening national institutions and tripartite governance in a highly challenging environment. The programme builds on the ILO’s previous Decent Work Programme 2023–2025 and its Emergency Response Plan (ERP) and Recovery Programme, which sought to mitigate the impact of hostilities on the workers and employers across the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
