§ Baroness AmosDfID is committed to supporting the International Labour Organisation's (ILO) efforts to secure decent working conditions and economic security for all poor women and men in developing countries. Through the £15 million DfID/ILO partnership framework agreement, we are supporting a number of initiatives to deepen the ILO's involvement in nationally owned poverty reduction strategies, support for trade and labour rights, the improvement of working conditions in the informal economy, the eradication of child labour and trafficking, and other poverty-related issues. Other bilateral support for the ILO comes from DfID's country programmes for additional poverty-related programmes in Africa and Asia.
