South Sudan became a member of the ILO in April 2012. Since then, the ILO has continued to support South Sudan to promote decent work as a key component of the country’s national development strategy. In partnership with trade unions and employers’ organizations, ILO helps promote access to decent jobs and vocational training, including for refugees and host communities. Priority is also given to strengthening public and private business development providers with a direct focus on financial and non-financial services, and development of information systems. This aims to promote the growth and competitiveness of MSMEs, spur economic growth, and catalyse the creation of productive and durable employment opportunities.

ILO activities in South Sudan are managed by the ILO Country Office for Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan, based in Addis Ababa.
