The State of Qatar has been an ILO member State since 1972, and has ratified 6 ILO conventions, including five fundamental conventions and one governance convention. Over the past decade, Qatar has demonstrated a growing commitment to advancing decent work and aligning its labour market with international standards. This commitment is reflected in the third phase of the ILO Technical Cooperation Programme in Qatar (2024–2028), which builds on the achievements of earlier phases and focuses on three strategic pillars: workforce policies, labour market governance, and international and regional cooperation and knowledge sharing.
The ILO–Qatar partnership is firmly anchored in the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030), which emphasises the modernisation of the labour market, the strengthening of social protection systems, and the alignment of national labour policies with international conventions and best practices.
