comments:

While all stakeholders benefit from improved knowledge management and a clear communications strategy, the international brands/private sector actors in GSCs stand to benefit from recognizing the potential advantages of improving OSH in GSCs. Other stakeholders, such as governments and social partners, also benefit from access to information that helps strengthen their understanding of OSH and their ability to use tools, research and guidelines created with the VZF’s resources.

challenges:

Since a communication strategy was not in place from the beginning, it is challenging to properly “brand” the VZF, as its projects and types of interventions in different GSCs in various countries continue expanding.

success:

VZF country-level interventions are replete with success stories that should be shared with a wider audience. Positive results at enterprise and country levels have been described and speak to the project’s impact and sustainability.

context:

At global and national levels, the VZF is one of many actors operating in a large playing field addressing issues of decent work. With OSH gaining attention as an issue of international debate in GSCs, the VZF has an opportunity to position itself as a key actor in moving the debate forward.

description:

The amount of knowledge, tools, guidelines, research, good practices and lessons learned from the VZF’s global and country interventions is significant, which makes a positive contribution to the global debate on OSH. Both the effective consolidation and management of this information and VZF’s increased ability to effectively communicate findings can be strengthened considerably through better knowledge management and through the deployment of a communications strategy.

administrative_issues:

The VZF would benefit from a central repository of information online. While the programme does have a dedicated website, much information about it is accessible through a number of other websites. Easier access to research, tools, guidelines, lessons learned and good practices would be beneficial to the VZF. Administrative implications include staff to design and develop a website, develop a communication strategy, and gather, package and share information.
