ILO public-private partnerships and employment: Introduction
25 February 2016
Creating employment – essential for achieving the goals of decent work – is one of the most formidable challenges that the ILO will have to ace in the near future. Indeed, there will be a need for some 470 million new jobs over the next 15 years. There has been a steady rise in the number of partnerships focusing on employment, covering an increasing number of LO activities, during the past 15 years. Since 2008, 85 public-private partnerships (35 per cent of total partnerships) have been signed, amounting to US$ 34,475,386 (48.2 per cent of total PPP funding).

Public-private partnerships on standards and fundamental principles and rights at work

Everyone has the right to work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. This means that all women and men should be able to choose their employment freely, in a workplace that is exempt from child labour, forced labour and discrimination, where the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining is respected – and where they are covered by adequate social protection.

Fragile-to-Fragile Cooperation and Decent Work: An ILO perspective
09 November 2015
With ILO's involvement with fragile-to-fragile cooperation, it has strengthened its relations with g7+ members based on the directives of our South-South and triangular cooperation practices. In fragile States it is crucial to promote partnerships between equals. Mutual trust, horizontal relations and demand-driven objectives characterize such partnerships. The g7+ has recently put forward a New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States. The New Deal proposes key peace building and state building goals, while focusing on new ways of engaging, and identifying commitment strategies. In a similar manner to the South-South and triangular cooperation rationale, the basis for this new cooperation paradigm is the acknowledgment that some beneficiary countries have learnt sufficiently from development.

French multinational enterprises, corporate social responsibility and Social Protection Floors (SPF): Public-Private Partnership
09 October 2015
Social protection floors (SFP) are nationally defined sets of basic social security guarantees that should ensure that all in need have access to essential health care and to basic income security. They are a key area of work for the ILO. As part of the ILO’s initiatives to implement social protection floors in emerging and developing countries and its partnership with GIP SPSI (the French government agency responsible for social protection) in this area, an informal meeting was organized with representatives of French companies with significant international market share and interest in social protection issues as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy.

Localizing the Decent Work Agenda through South-South and City-to-City Cooperation
07 October 2015
The ILO builds on the vision that local actors are important contributors to employment creation, social protection and the protection of fundamental principles and rights at work. In this view and in order to localize the Decent Work Agenda (DWA), the ILO signed a cooperation agreement with the World Organisation of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) in 2012. Working together, the two organisations improve local actors’ capacities through South-South and City-to-City Cooperation and projects focusing on employment creation, local economic development and formalization of the informal sector

Decent Work: An Alliance for the Future - South-South and Triangular Cooperation in ILO public-private partnerships
06 October 2015
As a growing form of partnership, South-South and triangular cooperation (SSTC) is playing an increasingly important role in the ILO’s public-private partnerships. Southern partners, with similar experience in development, bring particularly relevant and helpful experience in assisting the development of the Global South. In 2005, the Government of Brazil and the ILO initiated systematic horizontal cooperation in the field of combating child labour within Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa. Since then the ILO has more formally strengthened its role as a bridge between development partners of the South. Until mid-2015, several SSTC projects were concluded among the public private partnerships in place.
