Horizontal Cooperation The Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labor (IACML) has recognized horizontal cooperation and technical assistance as key tools for institutional capacity building. Additionally, the IACML has established as a priority strengthening the capacities of the Ministries of Labor to respond to the challenges of promoting decent work in the context of globalization. Responding to this priority, the IACML in recent years has been searching for new alternatives to strengthen its channels for cooperation and assistance, which resulted in the creation of the Inter-American Network for Labor Administration (RIAL) after the XIV IACML in 2005. To consult the complete proposal for the RIAL, developed jointly by the OAS and the ILO, click here (link: PropConjunta ING.doc) The RIAL has developed two of its components: 1) Identification and systematization of programs and experiences, which are gathered in the Permanent Portfolio of Consolidated Programs in the area of Labor (link!!) 2) Implementation of workshop to exchange experiences: Second Hemispheric Workshop on Occupational Health and Safety (link al web), San Salvador, May 16 and 17, 2006. During the first semester of 2006 the RIAL, including its first workshop, has been funded by the Labour Program of Human Resources and Social Development Canada. What is the RIAL? The RIAL is an integrating mechanism for dissemination of knowledge and experience that is relevant for the strengthening and modernization of labor administration to meet the challenges of globalization. Specific objectives of the RIAL: Identify and systematically organize the collective experience and knowledge of the hemisphere’s Ministries of Labor. Process information on programs and projects of cooperation and technical assistance in an orderly manner, with objective criteria. Encourage the countries to exchange information on programs carried out and successful experiences, through cooperation activities that focus on the critical transfer of the various experiences and lessons learned. Advise, support, and provide electronic communication among the Ministries of Labor and with international organizations, financing agencies, and representatives of civil society. Improve the national ability to define specific needs (in many cases, the region’s Ministries of Labor have problems diagnosing their situation and developing proposals that will enable them to request the necessary technical and financial assistance). Strengthen coordination and cooperation with international organizations and cooperation agencies. Background of the RIAL The RIAL has its origins in the Feasibility Study (link – FINAL_Estudio_de_viabilidad ING.doc) commissioned by the XIII IACML in 2003 to analyze the possibility of creating an Inter-American Cooperation Mechanism for Professional Labor Administration.
