Consultation on the FORLAC 2.0 proposal

Appointed representatives of the constituents of LAC countries (five from the government, five from the employers, and five from the workers) will participate in the workshop. The structure of each group should ensure a good representation of the countries in the region.

The objective is to orientate and enhance ILO’s Strategy for the Promotion of Formalization in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) called FORLAC 2.0 based on suggestions from ILO constituents.

““““The Strategy for the Promotion of Formalization in Latin America and the Caribbean – FORLAC 2.0 is an ILO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) initiative that seeks to relaunch the activities for the promotion of formalization in Latin America and the Caribbean for 2024- 2027. As half of the people employed in the region have no access to decent work in the formal economy, addressing this challenge becomes an urgent priority.
