Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka’s rich history with the International Labour Organization (ILO) stretches over 75 years. The island-nation became a member of the ILO soon after its independence, in 1948, with the country office established in 1984.
As the only united nations entity dedicated to the world of work, the ILO is built on the foundation of tripartism and social dialogue. ILO efforts in the country are closely aligned with national priorities, and the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework, and are rooted in advancing social justice and decent work for all Sri Lankan people.
