Through its Social Dialogue, Labour Law and Labour Administration activities, the ILO promotes an integrated approach to these key components of labour market and workplace governance by providing services that:

• strengthen legal frameworks, institutions, machinery and processes of tripartite and bipartite social dialogue and promote sound industrial relations at national, sectoral, enterprise and sub-regional levels;
• increase the number of member States which base their labour laws and other employment-related legislation on ILO standards and advice and use a tripartite consultative process in the preparation of such legislation; 
• strengthen labour administrations in their policy-making capacity, in their role in the implementation of decent work policies and the enforcement of labour laws; 
• assist member States to establish and strengthen labour courts, industrial tribunals and dispute resolution mechanisms so that individual and collective disputes are dealt with efficiently, effectively and equitably; 
• integrate gender into all aspects of social dialogue, labour law and labour administration; 
• increase the participation of employers' and workers' organisations in economic and social policy-making in regional or sub-regional groupings and enhance links with relevant international institutions.
