Independent Evaluation of the ILO's Strategy to Support Member States to Improve the Impact of International Labour Standards
The purpose of this strategy evaluation is to provide insight into the mandate, continued relevance, effectiveness, efficiency of the strategy, programme approach, and interventions in strengthening and broadening national capacities to ratify and improve the application of the International Labour Standards (ILS) by member States, and covering the period 2000-2006.
The scope of the evaluation involved review of the following: the coherence, relevance, and effectiveness of Office support to improve application of ILS; initiatives to extend application of ILS to the informal economy; the Office capacities and performance in supporting the strategy, outreach and promotion to raise awareness of the ILS and the supervisory system; integrating ILS into the Decent Work Country Programmes (DWCP); consideration of the programming context within the Programme and Budget (P&B) framework; follow up to comments made by the Committee of Experts to improve the application of ILS at the national level; working with countries facing serious standards-related issues; and finally, coordination across the ILO to maximise support to improve the impact of standards. The supervisory system is the main pillar of the ILO’s normative function as a specialised agency of the UN.
