- themes:
- theme:
- Social dialogue
- category:
- Governance and Tripartism
- comments:
- - Tripartite partners
- Factory managers, supervisors and workers
- challenges:
- - Loss of social partners ownership
- Up-scaling limited
- Huge workers turnover gives a relatively small output 3 to 6 months after the intervention.
- success:
- - Immediate improvement of working conditions
- Increased awareness among thousands of workers
- Improved skills among managerial staff at factory level
- context:
- - Project was designed to have focus on factory level interventions
- Little attention was paid to build up sectoral social dialogue
- description:
- Working directly with factories and regions can lead to loss of ownership at national level.
An important lesson learned of the current project is the benefit and the potential negative impact of working directly with regional structures and factories without the full engagement of the national constituents. The direct interventions with the factories have given the project some immediate results and had a positive impact on the working conditions especially in relation to OHS in the targeted factories. The chosen approach did however limit the attention paid to the very much needed capacity building of the national structures of the constituents. The constituent’s ownership to the project seems also to have become less because of this approach.
- administrative_issues:
- - Increased use of outsourcing to private consultants due to lack of own expertise and human resources
