Online Training: The 2030 Agenda, UN Reform and Decent Work for Social Partners, with a South-South Approach.

The "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" (2030 Agenda), adopted in September 2015 by the 193 Member States of the United Nations, calls for efforts at all levels to improve socio-economic and environmental policy coherence. In this regard, a profound reform of the UN development system was launched in 2018 to strengthen its capacities to better support countries in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

This course will introduce the 2030 Agenda, explain the reform of the UN development system, and highlight how South-South and Triangular Cooperation is part of these initiatives and a key means to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, he will elaborate on how Decent Work and its four pillars (promoting employment, guaranteeing rights at work, extending social protection, and fostering social dialogue) become crucial elements for achieving the multiple SDGs.

The ILO also considers it essential to promote the value of tripartism and the role of social partners in the reform of the UN development system. In this regard, this course will particularly delve into how to engage governments and workers' and employers' organizations in the processes related to the "UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework" and the "Common Country Analysis", which are key instruments introduced by the reform, as well as the potentials of South-South and Triangular Cooperation in knowledge sharing and mutual learning from different experiences of participation in these processes.


The course consists of the following six modules, to be covered in sequence:
