South-South Cooperation to Enhance the Institutional Capacities of Trade Unions in Asia and the Pacific - Phase II

The project enhances the core capacities of workers’ organisations, individually and jointly, in the Asia-Pacific and Africa regions to effectively participate and act on issues of common interest to support the achievement of Decent Work and the SDGs, define and undertake strategies to build the future of work and influence policy agendas on social, economic, and environmental issues. The project builds on ten years of strategic implementation of blended capacity-building initiatives and conferences for workers’ organisations in the region. Capacity-building initiatives in the Asia-Pacific and Africa regions are held through the south-south cooperation agreement between ACTRAV and ACFTU. The last phase of the project (2019-2023) was characterised by the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to embrace new technologies to enhance the institutional capacities of trade unions in the region.The programme involves workers’ organisations’ representatives, trainers, senior leadership, women and youth in capacity-building initiatives to develop the institutional capacities of their organisations and to access online training modules for learning, teaching, and south-south cooperation.
