Department of Labor - Bureau of International Labor Affairs

The International Labor Affairs Bureau supports the Secretary of Labor and the President's international agenda. The program produces Congressionally-mandated reports and provides international technical assistance grants focused on reducing exploitative child labor and improving working conditions in developing countries.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Adequate

This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
  • The program has never conducted a comprehensive evaluation. There are limited data to assess the overall impact of investments to reduce exploitative child labor and improve living standards.
  • Child Labor program goals measure outcomes: the number of children prevented or withdrawn from child labor; countries with increased capacity to address child labor issues; and enrollment, retention and completion rates for children in Department-funded education programs.
  • Goals and indicators for the Foreign Relations program need additional work. Currently, the Department measures improved living standards internationally by assessing working conditions, labor law compliance, beneficiaries' economic situations, HIV/AIDS risk behaviors and HIV/AIDS employment discrimination.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the program's technical assistance activities to assess the programs' overall impact and effectiveness, including program sustainability.
  • Implementing a cost-efficiency performance measure to reflect ILAB's policy functions.
  • Assessing the agency's role in government-wide international assistance efforts.
