Implementation

ILO advises governments on the planning, design and implementation of cost-effective programmes for the labour-intensive construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of infrastructures and rural works.

The maintenance of municipal infrastructure systems and facilities should be seen as a fundamental element in sustainable development.
