Follow-up to the resolution on the ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work: Proposals aimed at promoting greater coherence within the multilateral system

The ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work, adopted by the International Labour Conference at its 108th Session (June 2019), declares that “[o]n the basis of its constitutional mandate, the ILO must take an important role in the multilateral system, by reinforcing its cooperation and developing institutional arrangements with other organizations to promote policy coherence in pursuit of its human-centred approach to the future of work, recognizing the strong, complex and crucial links between social, trade, financial, economic and environmental policies.” This document reviews the Office’s collaborative relationships and engagements within the United Nations and the wider multilateral system at the global, regional and national levels. It highlights potential avenues for future collaboration with individual institutions, and provides proposals to advance the Declaration’s call for reinforcing cooperation and developing institutional arrangements for the consideration of the Governing Body (see the draft decision in paragraph 57).
