Expected outputs:

The meeting will result in documented cases of local policy responses, a set of conclusions around core themes and, possibly, a short list of key recommendations to national and local policy makers. A future joint ILO/OECD publication will bring these elements together after the meeting. The conclusions and recommendation will, inter alia, be used as inputs to the bi-annual ILO Asian Regional Meeting of Labour Ministries, Employers’ and Workers’ Organizations (Tentative date: July 2010) and will be reported on to the OECD LEED Directing Committee at its 56th Session (May 2010). The results will also feed the development of the ESSSA initiative in providing further work orientations and will be utilized in further ILO support to national and local response strategies in Asia.

Who should participate:

This expert meeting is directed to professionals working in:

  • Local governments, employment services and training institutions
  • Key partners in local development strategies (including representatives of national Governments)
  • Employers' and Workers' organizations
  • Research and other support organizations
  • International development agencies (multilateral and bilateral)
  • ILO and OECD staff

Priority will be given to local and national economic development practitioners.
