Outcome 10: Thematic funding for 2014-15 (Norway-ILO Partnership Programme 2012-15)

The project Trade Unions for Social Justice – phase II will assist the labour movement to overcome such obstacles through outputs aimed at empowering workers’ organization through capacity building and at the same time increasing their influence on policies pertaining to labour and rights. The implementing partners will be national centre trade unions, and through them supporting partnerships with other relevant stakeholders. When applicable, the implementation will seek to bring the various trade unions together in platforms, allowing the activities to have positive side effects through effectively building and maintaining arenas of confidence building within the labour movement. The light earmarking allows the ILO to implement the Project in line with the identified needs of the constituency, rather than a top-down thematic approach. The Immediate Objectives are: I.O.1: Improved capacity of national trade unions in the areas of collective bargaining, trade union services, gender equality and participation in the DWCPs; I.O.2: Strengthened national trade union platforms and regional networks to enhance union influence on national policies.
