Africa
The ILO in Africa supports 54 countries to promote rights at work, encourage decent employment opportunities, enhance social protection and strengthen dialogue on work-related issues. Together with our worker, employer, and government partners we strive to achieve a human-centred future of work built on social justice for all.
Constituents on the African Continent have committed themselves to making decent work a reality for Africa’s people, through a series of priorities identified by them.
