- challenges:
- The shorter Malaysian part of the project has a number of policies pending approval. It has started to be successful in receiving invitations for support from company grouping and government agencies but the project is now ended and dependent on finding funding for a new intervention.
- success:
- By the end of the project a joint platform of trade unions and the sectoral company representative had been set up and the Ministry of Manpower had engaged in the activities through the Labour Inspectorate. This was possible because as a four-year project there was enough time to develop the relationships needed for the project.
- context:
- In the first stage of this project in Indonesia, there was very limited interest in the project from palm oil companies and the Ministry of Manpower.
- description:
- Projects that work in sectors that traditionally have had a lack of cooperation between employers and workers should be of a sufficient length to ensure progress can be made, particularly where policy changes are one of the main goals.
- administrative_issues:
- Needs to be considered at the design phase of the project.
