1.17 Building partnerships: Working Out of Poverty
to face the challenges of today’s world. Most would agree that the multilateral
system is underperforming in this respect. We can and must renew
our efforts to work together in a true global partnership of mutual responsibility
and accountability.
Recently, this consensus has been recognized implicitly in the Fourth
Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization in Doha and explicitly
at the International Conference on Financing for Development in
Monterrey and the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg.
The ILO is ready, willing and able to continue its role as an active
team player in the struggle against poverty and for sustainable development.
The challenge of reducing and eradicating extreme poverty calls for
policies that focus on different dimensions of the life of people living in
poverty.
All too often, well-intentioned measures fail because they only address
one aspect of poverty reduction. If poverty-fighting efforts do not result in
empowerment, income and work, they fall short.
This requires greater policy integration at the level of different institutions
and the development community – by building on our respective experiences
and mandates to produce a coherent policy approach to poverty
eradication. For example, the ILO is working with the Bretton Woods institutions
to build the goals of employment and decent work into country-level
poverty reduction strategies. The ILO is leading the Youth Employment
Network – a partnership between the United Nations, the World Bank and
the ILO to combat youth unemployment. The Organization is working with
the UNDP on making employment part of our common strategy for developing
countries; with UNESCO on skills development; with UNICEF on
child labour; with all regional development banks and the United Nations
Regional Commissions; with UNAIDS on HIV/AIDS; with WHO on health
and safety at the workplace; with FAO on rural employment; and many
others.
The challenge of integration is an internal one as well. The Office is
continuing to build upon an integrated approach in which standards, protection,
employment creation and social dialogue all contribute in a strategic
and unified way. It is a key objective of the next programme and budget.
