1.6 Investing in jobs and the community: Working Out of Poverty
The ILO has invested 25 years of pioneering work in the field of employment-intensive infrastructure programmes. It has been successful.

These efforts create between three and five times as much employment for the same level of investment.
1.2 From Copenhagen to the Millennium Declaration: Working Out of Poverty
In 1995, the Copenhagen Social Summit put the “people’s agenda” back into the forefront of international policy.
