The OIC-2025 Programme of Action recognizes the importance of labour markets in building a better quality of life, promoting productive employment, and in creating adequate social protection for OIC peoples through enhancing workforce competitiveness, creating a harmonious and progressive workplace, and promotion of decent work for all. To these ends, cooperation among OIC Member States is critical in order to share a wide range of expertise in areas crucial to the national strategies for reducing unemployment, including expertise in supporting capacity building, strategy development, project and program planning/designing, resource mobilization and mentoring capability.

In line with the request of the Public Employment Services Network (OIC-PESNET), and in line with the OIC Framework for Cooperation on Labour, Employment and Social Protection adopted during the Second Islamic Conference of Labour Ministers held on 23-26 April 2013, in Baku, Azerbaijan; SESRIC launched the Public Employment Services Capacity Building Programme (PES-CaB) in 2014 with the aim of improving public employment services in the OIC Member States.
