The delegates from ALNI Regional,.SOLCEN and ITUC was welcomed to a meeting with the different sectors under Social Protection Cluster of the Asian Development Bank Headquarters on Jan. 27, 2012. It was such a very informative and informal exchange of information between the two groups specifically on the mainstream of core labour standards and social protection with the ADB's funded projects and programs. The ADB presented the Civil Society Program in powerpoint which offered opportunities of deepening the engagement through Consultative Dialogue such as ADB Annual Meeting (scheduled May 2-5 for this year). The ALNI delegates stressed the point that Trade Unions should have a distinct recognition being membership based compared with other civil society organizations.
After the meeting with the Social Protection Group, the next schedule was for all ALNI delegates to meet with the Executive Director for the United States who was represented by the Alternate Executive Director. After the meeting, the ALNI delegates separated as they have schedules to meet with respective Executive Directors of their country except the Philippines as it was rescheduled to another date for non-availability of the Eecutive Director for the Philippines.
