Decision on the eighth item on the agenda: Review of the Sectoral Policies Department

The Governing Body:

– noted the need to improve the balance between the role played by the social partners and governments within the sectoral advisory bodies in advising on the priority activities of the Sectoral Policies Department and the need for the Department to bring its work in line with the ILO’s mandate and with the Organization’s broader priorities;

– requested all parties to contribute to this aim;

– requested the Director-General to take into consideration its guidance in giving effect to the recommendations of the 2012 independent evaluation, the conclusions of the 2015 informal consultations and the review of the Sectoral Policies Department.
