At its 320th session (March 2014), the ILO Governing Body adopted a new follow-up mechanism on the MNE Declaration, comprised of promotional activities and an information gathering mechanism.
The information gathering mechanism, which is linked to the ILO Regional Meetings, includes a short questionnaire to collect information directly from governments and employers’ and workers’ organizations in the ILO member States where the ILO Regional Meeting will take place.
The short questionnaire will serve to collect country-level experiences on harnessing opportunities and addressing challenges related to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and MNE activities for Decent Work, along the lines of the principles of the MNE Declaration. It will also serve to facilitate knowledge-sharing on this topic among the ILO tripartite constituents.
The International Labour Office will prepare a short report based on the inputs received from governments, employers’ and worker’s organizations through the questionnaire. This report will serve as the basis for a discussion by the tripartite delegates during the Regional Meeting.
In preparation of the 18th American Regional Meeting (Lima, 13-16 October 2014), the questionnaire has been distributed to the governments and employers’ and workers’ organizations of the ILO member States participating in the 18th American Regional Meeting.
The indicated return date is Friday 27 June 2014:
