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.

IPPLA Sub-projects

Responsive Fund: Description

Administered through the Labour Program, the Responsive Fund is intended as a flexible approach to responding to ad hoc proposals put forth mainly by labour ministries, other government agencies and social partners involved in labour administration. Under this program, Canadian and foreign labour experts will work together to build capacity by sharing labour experiences, best practices and lessons learned.

Funding proposals from eligible applicants will be assessed to determine whether they meet the established criteria. Priority will be given to countries in the Americas that have signed or are negotiating Labour Cooperation Agreements (LCAs) with Canada. To find out more about the Responsive Fund and the application process, please consult the English Guidelines for Applicants or the Spanish Lineamientos para la Presentación de Propuestas.
