European Commission 1 In its October 2011 “Agenda for Change”, which presents the guiding principles for future EU external development policy, the significance of promoting decent work was made explicit. The Agenda for Change is the result of a very wide consultation launched in November 2010, to which the ILO responded by suggesting detailed policy orientations. Under the “inclusive and sustainable growth for human development” nexus, the EU has explicitly recognized that "The promotion of decent work covering job creation, guarantee of rights at work, social protection and social dialogue is vital". EU development policy documents have included references to decent work since 2005 (European consensus on development, decent work communication) but this is the first time that decent work and its strategic objectives are so high and central on the development agenda. The European Commission is an important partner and donor for ILO technical cooperation. At the end of 2011, the EC and ILO had a portfolio of 30 TC projects.

EXAMPLES OF GLOBAL OUTPUTS Database on Short-term indicators of the labour market Governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations, labour market analysts and the media can now count on a new public labour statistics tool to better monitor, analyse and understand recent events in the labour market to inform adequate economic and social policy responses, especially in times of crisis. The database covers some 100 countries and territories, providing monthly updated labour market and consumer price indicators. It is accessible through an interactive map organized by country and topic and contains sex-disaggregated data wherever possible, as well as seasonally adjusted sectoral data. The statistical country profiles provide a quick and accurate snapshot, while information organized by topic allows for cross-country comparison and global analysis. The resource is available online at: http://laborsta.ilo.org/sti/sti_E.html Global Jobs Pact web site The trilingual Global Jobs Pact web site was launched in February 2010 to share information on the implementation of the Global Jobs Pact in ILO member States. It is an important aspect of an overall communication and advocacy strategy for incorporating decent work principles in responses to the global jobs crisis. As of the end of 2011, 58 stories had been added, covering 21 countries. There were 57,375 visits to the site, of which 68 per cent were directed from search engines. The web site has been complemented by a news alert (eight issues) sent to over 1,100 recipients, including constituents, ILO colleagues, and 19 staff of diplomatic missions, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, the news media and academia. The web site can be viewed at: http://www.ilo.org/jobspact/lang--en/index.htm The joint ILO/IMF conference, “The Challenges of Growth, Employment and Social Cohesion” Hosted by the Office of the Prime Minister of Norway in Oslo in September 2010, this historic conference brought together leaders from government, labour, business and academia to tackle the sharp increase in unemployment and underemployment since the 2008 global financial crisis. At the conference, the ILO Director-General and the Managing Director of the ILO agreed to deepen cooperation between the two organizations in two specific areas: a minimum social protection floor and promoting policies for employment-focused growth. The follow-up to the conference has also resulted in enhanced policy dialogue, including joint consultations in Bulgaria, the Dominican Republic, Greece, Romania and Zambia, where the ILO was able to bring social dialogue and employment concerns into the post-crisis policy discussions on economic recovery.
