   Objective and Acheivements
Based on the initiative of local unions in developing countries

The basic principle of JILAF's Field Projects is to extend supports while respecting the situation, needs, and initiative of local unions. JILAF supports educational and social development activities planned and operated on the initiative of local trade unions by dispatching specialists, supplying know-how, and providing financial assistance.


While Workers' Education Activities are activities organized by local trade unions for their members, Social Development Activities are activities also organized by local trade unions but for the general public, including trade union members.
