International Training Centre of the ILO (ITC-ILO)
As the training arm of the ILO, located in Turin (Italy), the Centre runs training, learning, and capacity development services for governments, employers' and workers' organizations, and other national and international partners, to promote decent work and sustainable development.
In 2014–15 the Centre enhanced the skills of 23,422 women and men – 16,000 of whom were representatives of governments, workers and employers – from 197 countries and territories. The largest groups came from Africa, followed by the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific. In addition, tailor-made training activities were delivered both on the campus and at the regional, subregional and country levels. The Turin Centre and the ILO launched a new Labour Market Statistics and Analysis Academy targeting labour statisticians, policy-makers and senior managers from all over the world.
Improving information services
In 2014 the ILO consolidated access to its key information and data services through a single portal, the ILO knowledge portal. The portal connects country information and data on labour laws, standards, policies and statistics. It also provides relevant information on ILO projects and programmes, publications and good practices, which makes the aggregation and sharing of country-specific information and data in areas of strategic knowledge possible.
Transparency
Transparency of operations is key to the effectiveness of development cooperation. During the biennium the ILO demonstrated its commitment to transparency by launching its Development Cooperation Dashboard, which provides public information on all voluntarily funded projects through a variable matrix linking the donor partners concerned, the subject-area, and the geographical location. This will be further developed to include data on regular budget development cooperation.
For the first time the ILO made its development cooperation data publicly available in the format agreed by the International Aid Transparency Initiative, which the ILO joined in 2012.
Data was also and submitted for the first time data on core funded operations to the OECD database on core-funded operations.
