Agreements and contracts
The Office of the Legal Adviser provides guidance as needed on all legal aspects of the ILO’s development cooperation activities. To this end, it reviews and comments on framework and voluntary funding arrangements with a broad range of partners, including member States, international organizations, international financial institutions, private and non-State actors. It also assists various coordinating units with the implementation of agreements and related contract management issues.
The review and clearance of development cooperation project document activities is coordinated by the Partnerships and Field Support Department (PARDEV) which liaises with the relevant units in accordance with the Office Directive No. 156, as well as the Development Cooperation Internal Governance Manual. To facilitate collaboration, model agreements are available, including a Funds-in-Trust Agreement.
