The workshop is organised by the International Training Centre of the ILO in collaboration with the International Labour Office, the Public-Private Partnership for Service Delivery (PPP-SD) Programme of UNDP, and the Training and Capacity Building Branch of UN-HABITAT. The workshop will be held at the International Training Centre of the ILO in Turin (Italy), from 13 to 17 July 2009.

This interregional workshop will bring together a wide range of development actors, in the attempt to:

•  Increase their understanding of multi-stakeholder partnerships including public-private partnerships in infrastructure and service delivery and the role of Non State Actors

• Discuss the benefits of and constraints on working in partnership to reach the poor

• Share the experiences of different agencies and programmes which are promoting pro-poor partnerships as a contribution to the MDGs and long-term development efforts

• Learn from successful practices

At the end of the workshop, participants will have learned, or will better appreciate, how to make multi-stakeholder partnerships work for the poor. They will have acquired notions, guidelines, practical examples and tools pertinent to the subjects treated and the enabling environment required for such partnerships. They will be better equipped to engage in constructive consultations and joint action towards improved service provision, employment creation and poverty reduction in their respective countries and localities.

Candidates should register directly with the International Training Centre of the ILO by sending a duly filled copy of the application form not later than 15 June 2009.
