The ILO at Work in Africa
Success Africa
The ILO and its social partners also work to promote a wide variety of employment promotion activities.
These include micro- and small-enterprise creation, creation of savings and credit associations and other microfinance institutions, skills and human development, reintegration and rehabilitation in countries affected by conflicts and natural disasters, and development of cooperatives.
Projects include training and skills development, employment-intensive road building programmes, waste-collection business training and other initiatives which provide vital public services and have helped create thousands of jobs across the continent.
