This training programme offers guidance on the relationship between Decent Work and Sustainable Development for constituents, ILO staff, UN country team members, development partners and other stakeholders to support national SDG processes. It supports participants to contribute to the achievement of decent work and related goals of the 2030 Agenda at the national, regional and international levels, based on the integrated approach of the Social Justice Declaration.
