Job Description

The ILO Country Office for Pacific Island Countries in Suva serves 22 countries, of which 11 are ILO member States. The primary objective of the Office is to assist governments and employers’ and workers’ organizations of Pacific Island countries in their efforts to reduce decent work deficits, and to pursue development for dignity through the achievements of rights at work, employment, social protection and social dialogue. The ILO collaborates closely with the United Nations Country Teams in each of the States it serves, and aligns its programme of work to promoting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Intern will be supervised directly by the International Labour Standards & Labour Law Reform Specialist, who is responsible for promoting the ILO’s international normative agenda for the world of work. This includes advising on the meaning of ILO standards; supporting ILO constituents in their application and implementation; and assisting member States to fulfil their reporting obligations to the ILO’s supervisory system. The Specialist also advises on the effects and role of labour laws and labour dispute resolution systems as institutions for effective labour market governance, and for the pursuit of a wide range of labour market policy goals. The aim is ultimately to provide proactive, integrated policy advice on what labour law and labour dispute resolutions systems can do, drawing on evidence from other countries.

This work is done by providing technical advice to member States and ILO constituents, and through a targeted programme of research. The Specialist also backstops and manages two externally funded development cooperation projects. One of these promotes the implementation of ILO standards in Pacific Island countries. The other works to improve labour standards in the fisheries sector.
