Our Projects
All projects involving UNI affiliates and its regional organisations are listed in a Project Catalogue, which is regularly updated. You can download the list by clicking on the button in the right column. The catalogue is organised according to regions and funding organisations. At first glance the Project Catalogue may look like a collection of very diverse projects but a closer look shows how they are connected and how several general categories can be identified:

  • Union development projects: Projects for individual unions, usually with a limited budget and for a limited period of time;

  • Union organising projects: Projects for all UNI affiliates in one country on a cross-sector basis in co-operation with the national liaison councils;

  • Sector union development projects: Projects for specific sectors on a country and/or regional basis;

  • Multilateral union development projects: Projects at sub-regional level on a trans-sectorial or inter-professional basis.

Relief Fund
In addition to these general categories of project cooperation, we also organise  financial support through a new
Relief Fund
to ensure the continued existence of an organisation during periods of natural disasters,
situations of force majeure, when political circumstances demand intervention and at providing legal aid. These funds can be requested at any time and financial assistance released from the funding organisation within 10 working days.

FOCUS ON GLOBAL PROJECTS

Global Development Impact Initiative, GDII
The Initiative’s overall objectives are to optimise UNI’s capacity to provide development tools to workers’ organisations through UNI structures and to strengthen their performance capability and that of affiliates. The underlying purpose is the overall institutional development of UNI and its affiliates as one homogenous ever stronger and unified organisation.

Gender Equality Project, GEP
Global Equality is the aim of this project that is running worldwide. Sub-projects are written and implemented with or without external financial support on different gender and women issues on a regional, national and at local union level.

Leadership and Management, LMTT
The Leadership and Management programme consists of union top leadership and management discussions and training in regional forums, each forums comprising of three workshops. 

UNI Online
The UNI Online project is a contribution to bridging the digital divide that threatens to isolate many unions in the developing world and instead to turn the entire Global Union Federation into an online organisation using the e-mail and the Internet communication.

Visibility
Visibility workshops focuses on how to get the union message across and will be organised in Eastern Europe and Central Asia during 2005 and 2006. The Visibility workshops are sub-projects to UNI Online which launches  in the region. The aim is to get the unions online, provide IT training through e-learning and to introduce new ways of communication and campaigning in union visibility.
