The Philippine Decent Work Country Programme 2020-24 is a product of extensive consultations with major stakeholders of the world of work. The DWCP serves as the integrated strategic roadmap for national stakeholders and international partners in supporting the labour and employment goals and priorities of the country’s 25-year long-term plan called AmBisyon Natin 2040, and the first medium-term plan to implement it, the Philippine Development Plan 2017–22 (PDP 2017–22).
The DWCP focuses on the following country priorities:
- Productive, remunerative, freely chosen, green and sustainable work and employment opportunities available for all Filipino women and men willing to work
- Improved labour market governance which ensures respect for all rights at work, including fundamental principles and rights at work, international labour standards and human rights
- Equitable social protection that is available and accessible to all
