France is a key partner of the ILO in advancing decent work and social justice worldwide.
The ILO works closely with the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) to support youth employment, innovation and impact insurance in Africa as well as with the French Ministry of Labour on several projects promoting gender equality, a just transition and the elimination of child labour and forced labour through the Alliance 8.7.
In addition to its contributions for specific programmes and projects, in 2022-23, France contributed over US$ 0.5 million to the ILO Regular Budget Supplementary Account, allowing the Office to allocate these funds flexibly when and where they are most needed.
Furthermore, the ILO benefits from French expertise through the country’s participation in the Junior Professional Officer programme and professional secondments, including from France Travail.
