Introduction
Following several discussions in 2017 and 2018 of a document entitled “ILO cooperation with the tobacco industry in the pursuit of the Organization’s social mandate”, the ILO Governing Body, at the end of its 334th session in November 2019, welcomed the Integrated Strategy to address decent work deficits in the tobacco sector 2019/2022 submitted by the Director General and requested its further development. It further requested the Office to a) organize a tripartite meeting with directly affected countries (among others) and social partners in the tobacco sector; b) present an update on the costed and time bound integrated strategy to the 337th GB session in November 2019; c) continue the on-going project-based efforts to eliminate child labour using RBSA funds and other public funds in the short term; and d) continue efforts to mobilize various sustainable sources of funding from the public and private sector with appropriate safeguards.

The project “Decent Work Deficits in Tobacco Sector in Tanzania and Zambia is addressed” aims to support the implementation of the Integrated Strategy above through four inter-related outcomes:

Partnerships are promoted for a sustained implementation of the ILO Integrated strategy to address decent work deficits in the tobacco sector
