Algeria to host ILO 2015 Field Directors’ Meeting in Africa
Field Directors and Officials of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) will meet from 5-7 February in Algeria to hold the Annual Senior Management Retreat for Africa.
2 February 2015
This critical meeting will also be attended by Senior Executives from HQ with the aim of improving the common understanding of ILO’s regional priorities in Africa, good practices in implementation at country/sub regional levels as well as agreement on concrete HQ support.
Participants will discuss the status of the ILO corporate reform, including management, administration, field structure and operations, and its implications for the African region.
The Year 2015 represents a major milestone in the African outlook - the African Union has just declared 2015 Year of Women’s Empowerment and the continental organisation adopted the Quagadougou + 10 Declaration and Plan of Action as well as the new AUC/ILO/IOM/ECA Joint Labour Migration Programme – with key issues to be considered within the framework of the ILO Decent Work Agenda for Africa (2007 – 2015).
Moreover, the post 2015 development agenda is expected to be adopted by the UN General Assembly next September immediately followed by the ILO African Regional Meeting (30 November – 03 December 2015) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
This calls for strengthened knowledge sharing for ILO to engage in effective development partnerships, including through more proactive communication of decent work results.
