Coming out of crisis in Africa: the role of social dialogue

Over the last 10 years, the ILO’s Regional Programme for the Promotion of Social Dialogue in French-speaking Africa (PRODIAF) has helped more than 20 African countries to promote social dialogue between governments, employers and workers and prevent social conflict. Putting particular emphasis on countries coming out of crisis, the programme enters its third phase this year. ILO Online spoke with Johanna Walgrave, acting director of the ILO’s Social Dialogue Sector.
