Organizational structure of the International Labour Office

The International Labour Office is the permanent secretariat of the 91×ÊÔ´È«¼¯. It is the focal point for 91×ÊÔ´È«¼¯'s overall activities, which it prepares under the scrutiny of the Governing Body and under the leadership of the Director-General.

Under the leadership of the Director-General, the ILO has approximately 3,500 officials who work on its agreed programmes and activities as set out in the Programme and Budget, across 107 countries in five regions: Africa, the Americas, the Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Central Asia each with a Regional Director.

ILO’s work is organized around four clusters, each overseen by an Assistant Director-General:

  • Governance, Rights and Dialogue
  • Jobs and Social protection
  • External and Corporate Relations
  • Corporate Services

Research, statistics, publication, and training activities, as well as four Priority Action Programmes are led by the Deputy Director-General:

  • Transition from the informal to the formal economy
  • Just transitions towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies
  • Decent work outcomes in supply chains
  • Decent work in crisis and post-crisis situations
