A self-assessment method for social dialogue institutions. SAM-SDI

The self-assessment method for social dialogue institutions (SAM-SDI) has been developed by the International Labour Organization to help constituents analyse and strengthen the inclusiveness and effectiveness of their social dialogue institutions. The method is intended for social dialogue actors in all parts of the world and for institutions of various sizes, composition and mandate, and with different resource levels. It guides users through a series of steps, from taking the decision to undertake a self-assessment, through the process of assessing the inclusiveness and effectiveness of the institution to the development, implementation and monitoring of an action plan.

The SAM-SDI booklets

This version of the self-assessment method for social dialogue institutions is presented as a series of seven booklets. These can be downloaded separately for use during the implementation of the SAM-SDI.

Booklet no. 7 comprises a package of interactive templates, guiding questions and activities, as presented in the first six booklets. The templates allow the results of the self-assessment to be recorded electronically on a continuous basis. This will help users of the SAM-SDI to compile the outcomes of their work in a clear and concise way, and facilitate the drafting of the report on the self-assessment and the action plan.
