For the biennium 2024-2025, the ILO, in collaboration with its PARTNERSHIP department, is intensifying its South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) efforts through 14 dynamic projects spanning five regions, alongside global initiatives supporting action programmes and ITC-Turin office activities on South-South Cooperation. These initiatives engage over 80 countries, leveraging adaptable, sustainable, and results-oriented approaches. Primarily financed through the Regular Budget’s development cooperation support, these projects aim to enhance the capacity of ILO constituents through peer-learning activities, needs-matching, Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) development, and country-to-country and region-to-region cooperation.
Central to these initiatives are gender equality, diversity, and inclusion, which remain pivotal in promoting professional exchanges across countries and fostering valuable networks. Building on the documented good practices of previous years, these efforts highlight the achievements and lessons learned in SSTC among ILO constituents and practitioners, further solidifying their impact and replicability.
For 2024-2025, the ILO’s key activities include peer-learning initiatives, virtual exchanges, joint research, and targeted support for Southern countries. These activities address critical themes such as employment services, women’s empowerment, the Green Economy, and more, fully aligned with the ILO’s strategic framework for the biennium. By working closely with influential groups like BRICS, IBSA, G20, G77, and the G7+ (group of fragile countries), the ILO continues to strengthen interrelationships, leveraging these alliances to advance its mission of promoting social justice and decent work globally.
