At the sidelines of the ILO’s 114th International Labour Conference, Uzbekistan and Cambodia hosted a “High-level ministerial meeting on the Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions” with fellow pathfinder countries Malawi and Rwanda sharing their experience on the panel. During the discussion moderated by ILO’s Assistant Director-General, Ms Laura Thompson, the Ministers underlined the concrete impact of the initiative in their countries and called upon partners to continue championing it. The Global Accelerator Technical Support Facility also welcomed Zambia as the 20th pathfinder country and launched its recent publication titled, “Building the case for the Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions”, which documents how countries are using the Global Accelerator to achieve their broader development objectives. The event also reconfirmed the commitment of Global Accelerator pathfinder countries and partners to global exchange of experience and good practices.
