International Organization
The goal is to build a better, healthier future for people all over the world. Working through offices in more than 150 countries, WHO staff work side by side with governments and other partners to ensure the highest attainable level of health for all people.
Together we strive to combat diseases – infectious diseases like influenza and HIV and non-communicable ones like cancer and heart disease. We help mothers and children survive and thrive so they can look forward to a healthy old age. We ensure the safety of the air people breathe, the food they eat, the water they drink – and the medicines and vaccines they need.
We support countries as they coordinate the efforts of multiple sectors of the government and partners – including bi- and multilaterals, funds and foundations, civil society organizations and private sector – to attain their health objectives and support their national health policies and strategies.

United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF)
UNICEF is fully committed to working with the Government of India to ensure that each child born in this vast and complex country gets the best start in life, thrives and develops to his or her full potential.
The organisation began its work in India in 1949 with three staff members and established an office in Delhi three years later. Currently, it advocates for the rights of India’s children in 16 states.
Government of India and the United Nations Children’s Fund: The overall goal of the 2013-2017 country programme is to advance the rights of children, adolescents and women to survival, growth, development, participation and protection by reducing inequities based on caste, ethnicity, gender, poverty, region or religion.
The CPAP document is a culmination of months of joint efforts and consultations between UNICEF, government counterparts across several ministries and departments. I would like to take a moment here to acknowledge the role of our nodal Ministry - Ministry of Women and Child Development, in providing key inputs to our Country Programme Document, which was approved by the Executive Board in September 2012.
Based on the broad strokes of new country programme as outlined in the Country Programme Document, the CPAP have been developed. It details the programmatic objectives and strategies of the
programme of cooperation with the Government which aims to be:
- Relevant to the rapidly changing context in India, and what added value UNICEF can bring
- Aligned to national priorities as enshrined in the Government’s 12th Five Year Plan Approach Paper on “Faster, Sustainable and More Inclusive Growth”
- Convergent in its approach: so that all programmes work together to achieve outcomes for children and women throughout their life cycle
- Effective and equitable by taking informed decisions so as to reach the most marginalised and the vulnerable.

International Labour Organization (ILO)
The only tripartite U.N. agency since 1919, the ILO brings together governments, employers and workers of 187 member States, to set labour standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work for all women and men.
Underlying the ILO’s work is the importance of cooperation between governments and employers’ and workers’ organizations in fostering social and economic progress.
The ILO aims to ensure that it serves the needs of working women and men by bringing together governments, employers and workers to set labour standards, develop policies and devise programmes. The very structure of the ILO, where workers and employers together have an equal voice with governments in its deliberations, shows social dialogue in action. It ensures that the views of the social partners are closely reflected in ILO labour standards, policies and programmes.
ILO in India
India, a Founding Member of the ILO, has been a permanent member of the ILO Governing Body since 1922. The first ILO Office in India started in 1928. The decades of productive partnership between the ILO and its constituents has mutual trust and respect as underlying principles and is grounded in building sustained institutional capacities and strengthening capacities of partners. It has a two-directional focus for socio-economic development: overall strategies and ground-level approaches.
The ILO's overarching goal is Decent Work, i.e. promoting opportunities for all women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and dignity. DW is at the heart of ILO's strategies for economic and social progress, central to efforts to reduce poverty and a means to achieve equitable, inclusive and sustainable development India's 11th Plan's vision of faster and inclusive growth through a process which yields broad-based benefits and ensures equality of opportunity for all – with a strong emphasis on decent working and living conditions for all. A number of India's 11th Plan targets are in consonance with the DW agenda.
The DW concept is translated into Decent Work Country Programmes (DWCPs), prepared and adopted by the tripartite constituents and ILO, at country levels. The DWCP-India (2007-12), aligned to the 11th Plan and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework, focuses on 3 priorities.
Priority 1:Opportunities enhanced for productive work for women and men, particularly for youth and vulnerable groups, especially through skills development;
Priority 2:Social protection progressively extended, particularly in the context of informalization;
Priority 3:Unacceptable forms of work progressively eliminated. The cross-cutting issues are special focus while implementing the DWCP under the three priority areas are: (a) Social dialogue and strengthening of partners; (b) Informal economy; and (c) Gender equality.

Oxfam India
Oxfam India’s vision is to help create an equal, just and sustainable society by empowering the underprivileged. Oxfam India believes in the ‘Right to Life with Dignity for All’.
It works to address root causes of poverty and inequality. We see poverty as a problem where people are deprived of opportunities, choices, resources, knowledge and protection. Poverty is something more than mere lack of income, health and education. It is also people's frustration on being excluded from
decision-making. While the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the guiding framework under which Oxfam India functions, we also derive our mandate from the Constitutional Rights promised to every citizen of the country.
