The Alliance 8.7
Through concerted and focused action involving many actors, the world community can live up to its commitments and achieve target 8.7 by 2030. But there is an urgent need to coordinate this endeavour, both within and beyond the UN system. With no time to lose, the ILO therefore proposes to bring together all interested parties through a multi-stakeholder “Alliance 8.7”.
Once partners of the Alliance have agreed on the mission and goals, a detailed success matrix will be developed to evaluate the contribution of the Alliance to improved coordination and impact with regards to target 8.7.

• Forced labour, modern slavery and human trafficking
