Who are M-POWER Partners?
The initiative convenes a range of partners to coordinate efforts, review progress on commitments and drive action.
M-POWER’s current Steering Committee co-chairs are the government of the United States and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).
The governments of Argentina, Canada, and Spain; the International Domestic Worker Federation; the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU); the AFL-CIO (the U.S. confederation of trade unions); and the Funders Organized for Rights in the Global Economy (FORGE) foundations comprise M-POWER's rotating steering committee. Allied governments, philanthropic institutions, civil society organizations and academic entities committed to workers’ freedom of association and rights continue to build the initiative.
