Success Africa V: A brighter future of work in Africa contains 38 stories covering the four dimensions of the Decent Work Agenda – standards and rights at work, employment creation and enterprise development, social protection and social dialogue – and all five sub-regions of the African continent.

The collection includes a wide variety of interventions targeting a multitude of beneficiaries, adopting different approaches (from policymaking and institution-building to providing direct support at the grass roots), and focusing on a broad range of thematic areas. Despite these nuances, the stories in this collection all have something in common: they involve the ILO’s tripartite constituents, thus underscoring the uniqueness of the ILO approach.

The stories show in concrete terms how a “human-centred approach to the future of work” – the vision projected in the Abidjan Declaration – can be achieved on the African continent through the concerted efforts of communities, constituents and partners.
