Abstract
The ILO and its constituents have made significant progress in developing national employment policies (NEPs). However, unless appropriate institutional arrangements can be put in place to ensure their timely and effective implementation, even sound policies may not produce the desired results. To respond to the increasing requests from its constituents for assistance in NEP implementation, the ILO launched a research project on “a comparative analysis of employment policy implementation mechanisms in selected countries”. Case studies and a synthesis report were published as working papers. This research brief presents the coordination structure, as well as the accountability, financing and employment information systems that support employment policy implementation in Brazil.
