Network News Publication Debate Home Background ILO action centres around four strategic objectives. One of these is promotion of tripartism and social dialogue .
Social dialogue is a well-accepted strategy worldwide.
It is believed that it can be a cornerstone to the finding of solutions to economic and social problems caused by changing conditions in the world. However, involvement in macroeconomic and social policy choices requires a strengthening of the participating organizations. The project emphasizes enterprises and how the constituents at enterprise level can use social dialogue to develop a more dynamic industrial relations system. The constituents have a distinct responsibility to initiate dialogue at all levels of society - at the enterprise as well as at the national level. Furthermore, the industrial sector should be developed to be a leading part for working life in general using social dialogue as a means for development based on distinctive competencies, interests and common long-term values.
