- challenges:
- The reservation about calculation of the costs and the capability of government agency to efficiently manage the fund resulted in stalemate of the implementation of the Scheme. Given the uncertainty, the government is reluctant to commit to a specific timeframe for the introduction of EII.
- success:
- Common understanding and consensus fastens operationalization of scheme.
- context:
- The feasibility study, the benefits design, financing proposition and the legal frame for the introduction of an EII scheme, was drafted, shared and discussed among the tripartite stakeholders. However, the employers shared opinion that the rate of incidence ILO considered for premium of scheme is overestimated. According to them, percentage of injuries led to death for reported accidents for RMG sector is about 1.7 % and 2.4 % for textiles which was found in BIDS survey and which is lower than the rate assumed in the proposed EII Scheme. The employers were not convinced about the basis for the calculation by ILO. There appears lack of clarity of the estimation while discussing this with the stakeholders.
- description:
- The Lesson Learned is that there is lack of clarity which has resulted in disagreement from employers regarding premium proposed in EII scheme. This acted as a major barrier in reaching tripartite agreement regarding the scheme.
- administrative_issues:
- Areas where further clarity is required should be actively explored in the consultation process. No additional administrative issues arisen.
