The primary goal of the ILO is to promote opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equality, security and human dignity. 

Social dialogue plays a key role in achieving this objective. It is a means of strengthening democratic decision-making and achieving decent work, and an end in itself.

Successful social dialogue structures and processes have the potential to resolve important economic and social issues, deal with crises such as COVID-19, encourage good governance, reduce inequality and promote growth. 

The extent of social dialogue has a direct impact on the climate of social peace and stability, as well as the overall governance of the labour market and the economy as a whole.
