Introduction

While Volume 1 of the programme and budget proposals covers the strategic elements, including the policy guidelines and priorities, which will govern the work of the Organization in 2000-01, Volume 2 provides the corresponding programme descriptions and budgetary information.

Volume 2 describes the prevailing situation in the various spheres of development and the economic and social policies of direct interest to the ILO. The problems encountered by the constituents in these spheres and what they need to do to solve them are identified. The programme proposals specify the particular objectives targeted in response to these problems and needs and the way the various programmes will contribute to the Organization's operational and strategic objectives.

In spite of the considerable changes that have been made, this volume is organized in such a way as to allow comparisons to be made with the programme and budget proposals of past biennia. The proposal descriptions are much more concise and a considerable effort has been made to make them clearer and to highlight the desired results.

The document is structured around three groups of programmes. The first relates to the Policy Making Organs covering: 10. International Labour Conference, 20. Governing Body, 30. Major Regional Meetings, 210. Legal Services, 220. Relations, Meetings and Document services.

The second groups together the programmes which contribute to the strategic objectives, i.e. the technical programmes, the regional programmes and the support activities.

The technical programmes consist of: 50. International Labour Standards and Human Rights, 60. Employment and Training, 65. Enterprise and Cooperative Development, 75. Turin Centre, 80. Industrial Relations and Labour Administration, 85. Multinational Enterprises, 90. Working Conditions and Environment, 100. Sectoral Activities, 110. Social Security, 120. Statistics, 125. Development Policies, 130. International Institute for Labour Studies, 140. Equality for Women, 145. Interdepartmental Activities, 225. Employers' Activities, 230. Workers' Activities.

The regional programmes cover: 245. Active Partnership, Technical Cooperation and Resource Mobilization, 250. Field Programmes in Africa, 260. Field Programmes in the Americas, 265. Field Programmes in Arab States, 270. Field Programmes in Asia and the Pacific, 280. Field Programmes in Europe and Central Asia.

The support activities are: 175. Internal Administration, 180. Publications, 185. Information Technology and Communications, 190. ILO Library, 235. Public Information, 240. International Relations.

The third relates to the Management Services which group together programmes 40. General Management, 160. Personnel, 170. Financial Services and 200. Programming and Management.

This volume also contains the statutory information concerning Other Budgetary Provisions, Unforeseen Expenditure, the Working Capital Fund and various information annexes.

In the interests of transparency and comparability with earlier biennia, estimates are provided under various programmes of the level of technical cooperation delivery that is expected in 2000-01. These estimates are projections based upon currently approved projects and those under development. They are intended to give an appreciation of the technical fields covered rather than the unit that will be responsible for backstopping. Actual project execution will depend on additional factors such as new project development initiatives, including those related to the InFocus programmes described in Volume 1 of these proposals. It should also be noted that the availability of extra-budgetary resources depends to a great extent on factors beyond the control of the ILO, such as donor and recipient priorities.The Director-General intends to implement the programme of work described in this document in close consultation and cooperation with the other agencies of the United Nations system. Consequently, whenever possible, the descriptions of programme activities identify work in respect of which collaboration is most needed. As in the past, it is anticipated that cooperation will in practice concern a much wider range of activities. In accordance with established inter-agency procedures, the Director-General has informed the heads of the other organizations about his initial programme and budget proposals.
