The Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions (GA) brings together 18 Pathfinder Countries that are spearheading efforts to advance decent jobs, universal social protection, and just transitions, for a week-long Capacity Building Training and Knowledge Sharing Forum, from 9-13 February 2026 in Turin, Italy. The training is being developed by the Technical Support Facility (TSF) of the Global Accelerator, in collaboration with the International Training Centre of the ILO (ITCILO).
Over the past two years, the Global Accelerator has made a decisive shift from design to implementation, with two funding rounds launched under the Joint SDG Fund’s decent jobs and universal social protection window and the Multistakeholder Engagement to Implement the Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions and the World Bank Social Protection and Jobs Compass (M-GA).
Each Pathfinder Country is developing and implementing a government-led roadmap, developed through a participatory, tripartite, and whole-of-government process, to translate national and global commitments into concrete policy actions. The 18 Pathfinder Countries are implementing 35 UN and UN-World Bank Joint Programmes.
