WHAT ARE CURRENT UNITAR/ILO CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMME ACTIVITIES?
The UNITAR/ILO Capacity Building Programme Activities are divided into four programme areas: country-based activities, regional activities, development of guidance and training materials and supporting services. In 2005-2007, UNITAR is supporting national GHS implementation and capacity building projects in Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Nigeria, Senegal, Slovenia, Thailand, The Gambia, and The Philippines. Meetings and workshops have also been supported in Malaysia, Singapore and for the ASEAN OSHNET. Regional activities will be carried out in ASEAN, West Africa and SADC, and other sub-regions subject to available resources. The projects are executed by UNITAR, in the context of the UNITAR/ILO Global GHS Capacity Building Programme, with funding from the Government of Switzerland, the European Union and other donors. In order to take advantage of the time prior to the formal adoption of the GHS in 2003, UNITAR also initiated a number of pilot activities at the country and regional levels.
