ILO: Results of adequate wage-setting project unveiled after three years

The International Labour Organization presented the results of its Setting Adequate Wages (SAW) project at its official closing ceremony in Abidjan on November 6, 2026. Employers, workers, Labour Ministry representatives and partners discussed strengthening wage-setting mechanisms in Côte d’Ivoire through social dialogue and evidence-based policies. Achievements included recognition of the project’s results, renewed commitments to adequate wages and improved understanding of the ILO’s living-wage programme. ILO Abidjan Country Office Director N’Deye Coumba Diop emphasized wages’ connection to dignity and families’ prospects, while labour inspector Coulibaly Kassoum said the initiative could support a more equitable wage policy.
