| Description | The overall objective of the Employment and Social Affairs Platform is to assist the Western Balkans with the employment/labour market and social policy reforms in their pre-accession process. The focus is on improving the policy dialogue related to labour market institutions, labour mobility, working conditions and social dialogue at the regional level. To this end, the Action entails carrying out regional activities, sharing good practices, aiming at enhancing labour mobility, social dialogue and more generally contributing to the inclusive growth objective in the region. The platform will take into account existing regional initiatives and networks as to create synergies and avoid duplications and to bring an added value to national action in this field of activity. The project is split into two actions; one action will support the Regional Cooperation Council in its activities related to employment and labour market policy and the other one will include ILO activities such as strengthening social dialogue and enhancing the capacity of labour inspectorates. |
