Sixteenth American Regional Meeting

Every four years, the American Regional Meeting brings together the tripartite representatives of ILO member States, together with high-level political, economic, social and labour actors from the countries of the Region. This Sixteenth Meeting will focus particularly on the themes taken up in the two-volume of the Report of the Director General: Promoting decent work in the Americas: The regional agenda, 2006-2015 and ILO activities in the Americas, 2003-2006 and

• The first volume reviews ILO activities in the Region since the last Regional Meeting, held in 2002; it contains practical guidance on the cooperation that the ILO can provide to its constituents in achieving common objectives, placing emphasis on results obtained;
• The second volume contains an in-depth analysis of the prospects for the implementation of decent work in the Americas Region and suggests key policy areas (general and specific) to be developed in accordance with the ILO’s strategic objectives.

The discussion of the Report of the Director-General will take the form of a series of panel-led debates in plenary, with open participation from the floor. There will also be special activities and events, the details of which will be communicated in due course.

The conclusions of the Meeting, as well as any possible resolutions, will be adopted on Friday, 5 May, after which there will be a closing ceremony. A report of the Meeting will also be produced.
