ILO flagship programmes
The five flagship programmes play a leading role in strengthening the impact and efficiency of the ILO’s development cooperation (DC) portfolio, which accounts for well over half of the Organization’s resources in the field. Proposed by the Director-General and endorsed by the Governing Body in 2015, the flagship programmes consolidate and refine existing initiatives that target decent work deficits and related challenges in the world of work. This publication introduces the flagship programmes and their individual mandates and highlights how they fit into a variety of development frameworks, from the ILO’s Strategic Policy Framework and the Programme and Budget to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
