ETC plan cited by ILO

The Gender Equality Plan of the Employment and Training Corporation has been featured as one of 25 good practices in an International Labour Organisation publication.

The publication, Gender Equality and Decent Work - Good Practices at the Workplace, was published by the ILO's Bureau for Gender Equality.

The ETC's plan outlined the gender mainstreaming activities implemented by the corporation between 2003 and 2004. The activities included employment and training initiatives, research projects and educational campaigns. The publication contains examples of best practices ranging from national-level plans to smaller actions addressing specific gender concerns in many different countries.

The ILO bureau said all the practices presented in the publication were practical initiatives which, it hoped, would give concrete guidance and suggestions to ILO constituents on ways to promote gender equality in their own structures, policies and programmes.
