Labour statistics play an essential role in the efforts of member States to achieve decent work for all and for the ILO's support of these efforts. These statistics are needed for the development and evaluation of policies towards this goal and for assessing progress towards decent work. They are also an important tool for information and analysis, helping to increase understanding of common problems, explain actions and mobilize interest
The ILO Department of Statistics works with integrity, independence and high professional standards to provide users within and outside the ILO with relevant, timely and reliable labour statistics, to develop international standards for better measurement of labour issues and enhanced international comparability, and to help member States develop and improve their labour statistics. In doing so, it maintains strong professional relations with national statistical systems, especially central statistical agencies and ministries responsible for labour issues, and with statistics offices of other international organizations
The Department's activities to meet its goals include: gathering and disseminating labour statistics; setting international standards for labour statistics; and providing technical cooperation, assistance and training in labour statistics.
As the focal point within the United Nations system for labour statistics, the ILO Department of Statistics is responsible for providing other international organizations with data that are as reliable and timely as possible.
As the focal point within the ILO for statistical activities, the Department assists the Sectors in identifying their data needs, collaborates with them on the gathering of information from countries, and advises them on the use of data for specific purposes.

United Nations Conference on Trade and Development(UNCTAD)
Established in 1964, UNCTAD promotes the development-friendly integration of developing countries into the world economy. UNCTAD has progressively evolved into an authoritative knowledge-based institution whose work aims to help shape current policy debates and thinking on development, with a particular focus on ensuring that domestic policies and international action are mutually supportive in bringing about sustainable development.
The organization works to fulfil this mandate by carrying out three key functions:
In performing its functions, the secretariat works together with member Governments and interacts with organizations of the United Nations system and regional commissions, as well as with governmental institutions, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, including trade and industry associations, research institutes and universities worldwide.The digital library of UNCTAD’s publications enables interested readers to access references to the knowledge generated by the organization through its intergovernmental and expert meetings, as well as its analyses and research. UNCTAD’s Reference Service would be ready to assist readers in identifying printed or electronic publications, including CD-ROMs and On-line databases that might be of interest to readers.
The intergovernmental machinery of UNCTAD consists basically of the Conference, the Trade and Development Board, two Commissions, and expert meetings.
The Conference meets every four years, while the Board has one regular session and two or three executive sessions each year. The Commissions meet once a year, and each Commission convenes a number of expert meetings on specific topics.
The UNCTAD Calendar is the best way to find quickly all meetings and events.

United Nations Economic Commission For Africa
The profound consequences of the current global transformations for Africa, both positive and negative, and especially in the future, compel an urgent regional initiative to deal with the crucial issues relating to security and Africa’s own development. The dominant objective of this African response must be the systematical analysis of the inherent logic, dilectical trends and implications of these changes for Africa now and in the future, in the security and economic spheres. The African initiative must embrace such critical questions as general peace and security, the urgent launching of Africa’s irreversible recovery and transformation, the requirements for closer African integration, through the proposed regional economic blocs (RECs), and the implications of all these for international action, especially the South-South cooperation.
The primacy of peace and security, both at national and regional levels, to everything else in Africa cannot be over-emphasized. Without durable peace and security of life, property and national borders, it is not possible for citizens, economic actors, and governments alike to plan, implement and undertake the necessary activities that are required so urgently to arrest the protracted decline and stagnation in Africa.
It is no wonder, therefore, that these concerns have not escaped the attention of the African Union (AU) in designing a new strategy for confronting the critical challenges presented by the new international milieu. Indeed, the need was felt to link the requirements of economic development and demands for peace and security. In fact, any effective method for tackling the challenge of the new era had to be one that integrated both areas (Ayodele Aderinwale, 2001:60). This is why Africa is pushing for a meaningful and wide-ranging reform of the powerful UN Security Council as opposed to cosmetic changes which will perpetuate the continent’s current position on the fringes of decision-making. This paper attempts to highlight the concerns of the African continent in as far as security and development issues are concerned.
