The ILO has been engaged in peacebuilding since its foundation in 1919. With the adoption in 2017 of the landmark Recommendation on Employment and Decent Work for Peace and Resilience (N. 205) and the launch of the Jobs for Peace and Resilience (JPR) global flagship programme, the ILO has recently reinvigorated its mandate in the humanitarian-development-peace nexus and fully equipped itself to contribute to more peaceful and resilient societies through the promotion of employment and decent work.
This virtual event is an initiative of the ILO in partnership with the PBSO and the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) to discuss the key contribution of employment and decent work to peacebuilding, social cohesion, and social justice, in particular in the time of the COVID-19 crisis. The event will also showcase good practices and challenges, and foster debate among participants.
