Positioning decent work and employment in the UN
The entire UN system has been called upon to support countries in their efforts to give employment and decent work opportunities to all women and men. To assist members of the UN family with this work, the ILO supports and participates in system-wide coherence and coordinating initiatives. These include the Chief Executive Board, the United Nations Development Group and Regional Coordination Mechanisms.
By playing a leading role in a number of key interagency processes and partnerships and by contributing to the development of "One UN”, the ILO contributes to a more coherent UN. This is in harmony with the ILO's efforts to improve its delivery, human impact and focus at country, regional and global levels. Learn more about the UN and UN reform here.
The ILO is unique in the UN system for its tripartite structure, which means that not only governments, but also workers’ and employers’ representatives are members with decision-making authority.
