Welcome to the new home of the WIEGO Organization and Representation Database (WORD). The WORD is a dynamic database providing information on organizations who organize workers in the informal economy.
We maintain this database through ongoing research and outreach efforts, but for some organizations the information may be outdated or incomplete. We hope that organizations and individuals concerned with improving the situation of informal workers will help us develop this resource collectively. If you are a membership-based organization (MBO) and would like to be listed on the WORD, please click here to request registration.
To get started, just click Search or Browse in the menu above to find organizations of informal workers. To find out more about the WORD, click here to view a short video!
