Guyana
Guyana joined the International Labour Organization (ILO) on 8th June 1966, marking a significant commitment to promoting decent work and labour rights. Over the years, the ILO has actively engaged in Guyana, providing technical assistance and interventions in various critical areas. These include improving the climate of industrial relations and social dialogue, offering support in the creation of a modern and responsive labour administration system, and promoting a coherent and integrated national social protection system.
Additionally, the ILO has focused on capacity building for employers' and workers' organizations, fostering the creation of green jobs and promoting decent work, as well as enhancing technical and vocational education and training initiatives in the country.
