comments:

The working partners are the ILO constituents and social partners i.e. representatives of the Government - the key ministry being the Ministry of Labor (MoL) and related institutions. The employers are represented through the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Uzbekistan (CCIU). The constituent representing the workers is the Federation of Trade Unions of Uzbekistan (FTUU). The ILO Third-Party Monitoring project, operating from the World Bank office, is also an important working partner – which also contributes to the DWCP but through a different approach. Children engaged in child labor, or who may be at risk of engaging in child labor, and adults in a condition of forced labor are termed ultimate beneficiaries.

success:

An identified good practice is the way ILO has worked as a team in relation to its work on child labor and forced labor, in the provision of technical inputs to support implementation from several levels of the organization (Tashkent, Moscow and Geneva). Part of this good practice has been the utilization of ILO´s more than 20 years of experience from IPEC´s technical cooperation, including the models of child labor monitoring, data gathering and design of surveys from all parts of the world.

context:

ILO and the Uzbekistan constituents, through its annual consultations in the Governing Body, eventually made it possible to progress in the field of policy and legislation at national level –and enabled the Support Project to operate in the country.

A lesson learned is that through persistence, and presentation of facts/evidence emanated from the research studies, ILO has been able to develop a dialogue with the constituents in which the Government representatives have stated that there is a need for changes related to FPRW - particularly linked to the recruitment of workers, and workers´ rights in cotton harvesting - but also to commit to implementing a decent work agenda in the country.
