U.S. Department of Labour (USDOL)
Special Program:
The Office of Foreign Relations manages a robust international cooperation program to assist developing and
transition countries to: 1) adhere to internationally recognized core labor standards and acceptable conditions
of work; 2) provide effective skills training and employment services to dislocated workers and unemployed youth;
and 3) combat the spread of HIV/AIDS through workplace-based prevention education programs. Since 2000, OFR has
committed $186.5 million in funds to assist 72 countries in the three areas above.
Special Program:
Under the EOIS initiative (Improving Economic Opportunity and Income Security for Workers), USDOL works to
strengthen developing countries' abilities to build and institutionalize social safety net policies and
programs needed to improve working conditions and foster economic growth. Projects under this initiative aim
to increase employment among targeted groups, improve workplace safety and health, and increase access to
social insurance. EOIS projects assume a variety of forms: They provide employment services and worker
adjustment services to the unemployed and workers who are about to lose their jobs, including traditionally
disenfranchised groups, such as those with few opportunities such as veterans, disabled individuals, and women.
Pension reform and social insurance reform projects assist in the development of income security programs,
which support the lives of workers and retirees. Mine safety and occupational health and safety programs
improve working conditions and decrease workplace hazards. Trafficking programs address specific economic and
social problem driving women to, sometimes unknowingly, abandon their communities for dangerous and, often,
illegal work.
