Knowledge Development Series: Formalisation in BRICS Countries

The BRICS knowledge exchange series on formalisation, with a South-South approach, held virtually from July-August 2021, aims to promote cooperation between the BRICS countries with other developing states on the transition to formal economy, including in the rural settings.

Through country-specific coordinated actions, as well as cross country policy sharing and capacity building to implement the ILO Recommendation No. 204, transition to the formal economy is a major policy goal identified by BRICS countries in successive BRICS summits, fora and research papers.

The key online sessions with high-level speakers working on the issues of transitioning to formality, including in the rural area and agriculture, will be held from the 1st to 20th of August 2021. You are invited to join the webinar discussions by registering at the following link: APPLICATION FORM (itcilo.org).

The registration will remain open until 30th of July 2021.
