The ILO has been active in Kosovo* since 1999 with a focus on developing vocational training, reforming the network of employment offices, promoting youth employment, combatting child labour, and enhancing social dialogue.

Currently, the ILO contributes to:

  • developing effective employment and social policies with a focus on youth employment through the reinforced Youth Guarantee,
  • strengthening labour inspection and occupational safety and health as well as social dialogue,
  • reducing informal employment and undeclared work, and 
  • eliminating child labour in all its forms, in particular the worst forms of child labour and forced labour.

The ILO is a member of the United Nations Kosovo Team (UNKT). It contributed to the drafting of the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2021-2025.
