challenges:

Multi-Stakeholder meetings and platforms are key for sustainability of institutional efforts by this type of programmes however they require a lot of efforts on the side of the Programme Team. The participation of the team should not be limited to the Programme Manager, A knowledge officer and a policy advocacy/communication officer, but also qualified National Programme Coordinators at NOB level..

success:

With respect to actual partnerships, most progress was made by the RSCA Programme in the case of the following three Platforms: 1) The CSR Think-Tank for Vietnam’s seafood sector. Its focus was on CSR training/manual for implementing the Vietnamese Labour Code 2019 and a sustainability plan beyond the end of the RSCA programme. It also facilitated a sectoral policy dialogue on the actions required for removing the yellow card for illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. 2) A Tripartite-Plus Working Group (WG) in the agricultural sector in the Philippines; it reviewed and revised the Voluntary Code of Conduct of Good Practices (VCGP) on Decent Work in the Banana Industry following the principles and recommendations of the MNE Declaration. It can serve as a model to be replicated in other sub-sectors of the Agricultural sector. 3) A Task Force (TF) in the Auto Parts supply chain in Thailand to promote socially responsible and sustainable business using the MNE Declaration as a benchmark.

context:

The Multi-Stakeholder Platforms launched by the RSCA Programme facilitated social dialogue between key stakeholders and broadened the outreach of the recommendations of the MNE Declaration and the adoption of socially responsible labour practices. This laid the foundation for the institutionalisation of the policy dialogue. It is important that these platforms are Tripartite in nature, which is a strength of the ILO, whereby it also has the leverage of the Country Offices.

Multi-Stakeholder meetings and platforms are instrumental to CSR/RBC policies and practices.

administrative_issues:

Substantial staff inputs are required to manage the extensive networking required for such platforms (see above).
