ILO organizational structure

Under the leadership of the Director-General, the ILO has approximately 3,500 officials who work on its agreed programmes and activities as set out in the Programme and Budget, across 107 countries in five regions: Africa, the Americas, the Arab States, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Central Asia each with a Regional Director.

ILO’s work is organized around four clusters, each overseen by an Assistant Director-General:

• Governance, Rights and Dialogue
• Jobs and Social protection
• External and Corporate Relations
• Corporate Services

Research, statistics, publication, and training activities, as well as four Priority Action Programmes are led by the Deputy Director-General:

• Transition from the informal to the formal economy
• Just transitions towards environmentally sustainable economies and societies
• Decent work outcomes in supply chains
• Decent work in crisis and post-crisis situations
