Recovery of the World of Work in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Bringing ILO support to Decent Work for the post-Ebola social and economic recovery
- English
Summary (English)
The recent outbreak of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone is the largest, longest, most severe and most complex in the nearly four-decade history of the disease.
As part of the UN and global community the ILO can muster the specialized expertise necessary to build up and strengthen national institutions to prevent other large scale crises.
This brochure describes how the ILO supports the recovery process from the Ebola crisis, and goes through its programmatic work, which focuses on five thematic areas: Creating decent work through employment intensive infrastructure programmes for a productive and sustainable environment; strengthening social protection systems for universal coverage with special focus on child protection; building national consensus on national priorities through social dialogue; reinforcing delivery and access to basic services; and promoting the culture of prevention through occupational safety and health programmes.
