Summary of RD Remarks – Nairobi – 15-17 February 2010

Africa has been severely hit by the global financial and economic crisis. The Global Jobs Pact is ILO's contribution to the global recovery, and the roadmap for its implementation, adopted last December by the tripartite constituents during the 1st African Decent Work Symposium in Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), is the way forward for the region and its populations.

Since then the roadmap has been implemented across the continent using the outcome-based work planning. This has been critical to translating key elements of the Ouagadougou roadmap into practice through Decent Work Country Programmes. But we should never forget that nobody can do it alone and the ILO should also deliver for, through and with the United Nations.

Before building the One UN, we must build the One ILO. As indicated by the Director-General in the programme and Budget 2010-2011, “we will invest heavily in changing and adopting our methods of work. This means a more collaborative Office, operating within a culture of accountability for results, focused on service for constituents, acting with a change mentality.”

This is not new, this was also highlighted in the 2008 Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization, wich calls upon the ILO to work across the four strategic objectives in an “integrated, interrelated, and mutually supportive” manner. So we must work together, the ILO in Geneva, the ILO in the field, the Regional Office.

Our vision of “100% Delivery” which I am pursuing since I took office some 20 months ago is ongoing; delivery rates have indeed improved, but we can still do better. We can achieve by creating joint strategies for better delivery, this strategy should be based on respect: u Respect for our populations vis-à-vis our mandate; u Respect for our tripartite constituents; u Respect for the donors as we should not take TC for granted; u Respect for our Director-General so committed for Africa; u And respect for ourselves.

The One ILO can only be buillt together through a three-pronged approach. First: creating the movement – the Decent Work Movement – and for this we need Decent Work militants. Second: create the example – Decent Work success stories, Success Africa - and for this we need to communicate. We need Decent Work communicators. Don't be shy. Reach out. Communicate as much as you can on your project, on your delivery, on your success, on how you fit vis-à-vis our Decent Work Agenda, and the Global Jobs Pact. And third: create a team. And for this we need Decent Work team players. We should be helping each other, share knowledge and information. This is why we are here today – to better deliver and succeed together.
