Partnering for Development
Partnering with the ILO is an investment in social justice for all
Development cooperation builds bridges between the ILO’s standard-setting role and women and men everywhere. It supports the capacities of governments, workers’ and employers’ organizations so as to enable them to put in place effective policies for decent work.
With over 50 years of experience in development cooperation on all continents and at all stages of development, the ILO today has a portfolio of some 770 programmes and projects achieving impact in more than 140 countries. In 2022-23 voluntary funding contributions reached an unprecedented US$ 965.1 million, demonstrating ILO partners’ recognition of the importance of social justice and decent work to address global challenges and bring positive changes to people’s lives.
