Sectoral Activities
The objective of the Sectoral Activities Programme, managed by the Sectoral Activities Department (SECTOR) is to facilitate the exchange of information between the ILO's tripartite constituents on labour and social developments concerning particular economic sectors, complemented by practically-oriented research on topical sectoral issues and technical assistance to help solve labour problems.
SECTOR's principal activity is the holding of international meetings that provide a forum for discussion and an exchange of views on current issues in the sector concerned. Sectoral meetings are generally tripartite (equal participation by governments, employers and workers). Where the government is the predominant or sole employer, however, participation reflects this in the form of joint meetings, often with some participation from private sector employers. From time to time seminars or specialized meetings of experts are also held. An outcome of most meetings is agreed conclusions that serve as guidelines for policies and measures for dealing with the issues and problems -- as appropriate at the international and national level and by the ILO.
