ILO-ASIST announce 12th Regional Seminar for Labour-based Practitioners

The 12th ILO Regional Seminar for Labour-Based Practitioners will be held from the 08-12 October 2007, Durban South Africa. This Seminar under the theme “Prioritizing Employment in Government Policies and Investments in Infrastructure Programmes” will focus on key development issues that increase the impact of investments and government programmes on employment creation. Investments, both public and private, domestic and foreign, drive employment creation directly and indirectly.

The Regional Seminar, held every two years, brings together practitioners, planners, policy makers, researchers, funding and development partners – and all others involved in infrastructure development from the African region and beyond to discuss developments, share experience and ideas on the application of employment-intensive approaches in the delivery of essential infrastructure.

IFRTD will post further details as they are available.
