comments:
The programme participants of the FPRW project are government, employers and workers – the two latter also referred to as “direct target groups”.
challenges:
The internal debate about the mapping caused delays and frustration among the project staff and should have been handled differently.
success:
N/A
context:
In order to appreciate the level of capacity of unions/workers organisations in the RMG industry, and understand how they function, a mapping and needs analysis was carried out in 2012 with a first draft report completed in August 2012. The results of the exercise were to form the basis of a target-oriented training, one that would lead to effective union action at the enterprise level in the RMG sector. The mapping involved collection of data on the existence and status of union federations and trade unions in the RMG sector with participation of the key constituents (Dhaka and Chittagong). The results revealed a bleak picture of the union involvement in the RMG sector.
description:
ILO HQ must avoid letting politics influence the implementation of technical cooperation activities. There are lessons to be learnt from the delays of the Training programme - resulting from the internal debate involving different departments of ILO on whether or not to undertake the mapping study on the status of trade unions/workers organisations in the RMG sector.
administrative_issues:
Delays in implementation as mentioned above.
