- challenges:
- Promoting decent work through the active engagement of tripartite partners has consistently proven to be an effective approach. However, the ongoing conflict of interest between the two primary stakeholders—workers, represented by trade unions, and employers, represented by VCCI and various business associations—remains a significant challenge. Involving international brands in encouraging manufacturing enterprises to adhere to international labour standards and commit to decent work is particularly complex without the involvement of a respected and impartial international organization like the ILO. The ILO's presence provides the credibility and neutrality necessary to foster collaboration and drive meaningful progress in aligning labour practices with global standards.
- success:
- The ILO's role in engaging international brands (tier 1) can significantly impact the commitment of top leadership in tier 2 and tier 3 factories within the global supply chain. By facilitating collaboration with these international brands, the ILO can markedly enhance the dedication of factory leadership to sustainable practices, thereby ensuring long-term positive effects throughout the supply chain.
Tripartite partners and workers' organizations alike recognize the vital importance of the ILO's involvement in this process. They have expressed a strong desire for the ILO to take a more proactive stance in engaging international brands, as these brands ultimately influence domestic employers. Such engagement can lead to substantial commitments from international brands to invest resources that support domestic enterprises in effectively implementing international labour standards and fostering decent work environments for all workers.
- context:
- The ILO is committed to promoting decent work worldwide. Its primary objective is to create conditions that enable people to have secure, decent work, a fair income, and the protection of their labour rights. It operates with neutrality and impartiality to support countries in developing and implementing fair labour policies and protecting workers' rights. The ILO's Country Programme Framework for Decent Work 2022-2026 reaffirms the organization's mission to promote decent and productive work opportunities for all women and men in conditions of freedom, equality, security, and human dignity, tailored to the context of Viet Nam.
- description:
- In its capacity as the implementing entity, the ILO assumes a crucial role as a neutral facilitator, leveraging its esteemed international expertise to convene and mobilize national partners effectively. By fostering a conducive environment for national partners to converge around sector-specific challenges, the ILO plays a pivotal role in catalyzing collabourative solutions to industry-level issues.
