http://www.qpsactionnow.org/news/ilo-and-uclg-work-together-employment-issues The problem of jobs and decent work in the face of rapid urbanization
is at the centre of a recently signed memorandum of understanding
between the International Labour Organization (ILO) and United Cities
and Local Governments (UCLG), which represents and defends the interest
of local governments on the world stage. Local economic and social development is a priority for towns and
cities, and UCLG hopes to draw on the expertise of the ILO to assist in
addressing the challenges of creating decent work. For the ILO, the
partnership with UCLG provides an opportunity to expand its “real world”
knowledge about employment in urban centres. The first practical cooperation between the two organizations will
take place in Mozambique, where the UCLG supports the city of Maputo in
addressing issues related to informal street vendors and markets.
