- Child labour, forced labour, human trafficking and slavery
- comments:
- Initially this lesson can be applied by directorates in any reforestation work. It provides a case for ILO technical advisors, donors can apply more widely, including in national programs.
- challenges:
- Initially the higher wages and EIIP procedures were not accepted as they go against entrenched practices.
- success:
- ILO officers required compliance with criteria agreed for application of the conditions, so that the above results emerged.
- context:
- Reforestation work conducted by Directorates has typically paid low wages (7.5 Jd/d) and provided minimal supervision, resulting in unmotivated work force and low outputs. In other words, this is a low base for comparison, but nevertheless the norm.
- description:
- Decent Work although it provides a higher wage (15 Jd/d) and shorter work hours, when combined with better supervision from EIIP procedures, resulted in more effective reforestation, estimated at x2 the normal output. The more general lesson is that providing good work conditions, rather than minimizing inputs/conditions can generate better outputs
- administrative_issues:
- Availability and commitment of ILO officers to the Decent Work criteria must be available to monitor application of criteria and advise, particularly in early stage of the project when these are tested.
