TUDEP is a learning tool meant to support trade unions worldwide in the application of the effectiveness principles in their everyday development cooperation practice.

The pamphlet aims to introduce trade unionists to the 2030 Agenda and its overlap with the work of the labour movement. It gives an overview of how the Sustainable Development Goals and the work of trade unions can be mutually reinforcing and outlines some steps for trade union engagement at national, regional and international level.

This guidance note presents the COS framework; it reviews the concrete steps that can be used for its application and makes recommendations in this area.
