During the first phase of the technical cooperation programme between the Government of Qatar and the ILO (2018-2021), an annual progress report was presented to the ILO Governing Body (GB) at its November sessions in 2018, 2019, and 2020…

Although this second phase does not require formal annual reporting to the GB, it was agreed that the annual progress report continue to be published in the same format to present the key developments and priorities, and keep interested parties informed about the broad scope of the work under way. The following annual progress report covers the period from November 2022 to October 2023 – but primarily focuses on 2023.

As this is the last annual progress report of Phase 2 of the technical cooperation programme, some of its sections also provide a summary of the progress made over recent years, and point to the remaining challenges. Detailed information on activities from 2018-2022 is available in the previous annual reports, all accessible on the ILO Qatar website.

The report covers progress on the programme’s priorities under its four pillars:

• Pillar 2. Enforcement of Labour Law and Access to Justice
• Pillar 3. Workers’ Voice and Social Dialogue
• Pillar 4. International Cooperation and Exchange of Experience…
