The International Program for Professional Labour Administration (IPPLA) is a three-year capacity-building project co-financed by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the Labour Program of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC).

The project will primarily help countries in the Andean, Caribbean and Central American regions strengthen and modernize their labour policies and labour administration to reach internationally recognized core labour standards. Activities undertaken as part of the IPPLA could include workshops, seminars, conferences, collaboration on policy or legislative development, study tours and study and research exchanges, as well as initiatives aimed at increasing dialogue between governments, employees and employers. The project began in 2009 with the launch of eight sub-projects and the development of the Responsive Fund, which became operational in September 2009.

The existing sub-projects are implemented in the Americas by various agencies:

  1. Strengthening Institutionalized Social Dialogue Through the National Commission on Wage and Labour Policies and Similar Bodies in Colombia
  2. Sustainable Development for Occupational Safety and Health in Central America and the Dominican Republic (PRODESSO)
  3. Network of Labour Advisory Services for Central America and the Dominican Republic (REAL CARD)
  4. Andean Initiative for Health and Safety at Work in Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Peru
  5. Andean Labour Network (RELA) in the Andean Sub-region (Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru)
  6. Capacity-building Within Peru's Labour Ministry for Effective Labour Inspection
  7. Strengthening the Inter-American Network for Labour Administration (RIAL)
