Today, the country receives technical assistance and support from the ILO through a Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) 2025-2027, which focuses on three main priorities: strengthening social dialogue at all levels; enhancing labour and social protection for workers; and strengthening employment, skills, and enterprise development policies. This enables the ILO support for strengthening legislative and policy frameworks for inclusive and productive employment, formalization, and sustainable enterprises; enhancing the capacity of labour market institutions; improving enterprise productivity; promoting women’s economic empowerment and access to decent work; promoting social dialogue and supporting green skills development and a just transition, among others.
