 | | The programs are conducted through international trade union organizations (such as ITSs), and are in general supported by public development funds when national trade union federations (or centres) have access to such funds—as in Canada, Japan, the United States and most countries in Western Europe. |
 | | Some large national trade union organizations (for example the union of workers in local government, health, gas, electricity, water, transport and higher education, called UNISON, in the United Kingdom, the Danish General Workers’ Union (SiD), Bondgenoten FNV in the Netherlands) conduct similar programs on a bilateral basis. |
 | | Funding has been provided by Oxfam and Nederlandse Organisatie voor Internationale Ontwickelings-samenwerking (NOVIB), Christian Aid, German and US church groups, US foundations (Ford, MacArthur), the EU and aid agencies in Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. |
