Portugal
Portugal is one of the founding members of the ILO.
Since 1974, Portugal has demonstrated a solid commitment towards ILO’s principles and values, and in recent decades, towards the ILO’s Decent Work Agenda and the aim of Social Justice for all.
Portugal ranks amongst the top 20 ILO member States that have ratified the greater number of Conventions. Portugal is an important supporter of ILO’s technical cooperation projects and of ILO’s training programmes in the Portuguese language.
The qualitative leap that this relationship has experienced was further enhanced by the opening of an ILO office in Lisbon in 2003, with great support from the tripartite constituents. It has also contributed to increase the proximity of the ILO to key players in the world of work in Portugal and to expand synergies between the ILO and the Portuguese-speaking world.
In this context, ILO-Lisbon's strategic functions are:
- communication and visibility
- representation and partnerships
- technical support
- resource mobilisation
- interface with CPLP and the Portuguese language
ILO-Lisbon has the responsibility of making ILO reference documents, studies and training manuals accessible in the Portuguese language. This website, which we encourage you to explore, is a key instrument for disseminating this information. It gives updated information on our projects and activities in Portugal and in the context of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP).
