comments:

ILO officers and Tri-partite partners at the national and sector level and international actors in the EU and global supply chains and the EC as a donor of SSCBFB

challenges:

Given the small budget and short time frame of the project, the selection of five sectors and countries has been very ambitious and it was not always possible to produce strong and lasting changes.

success:

Possibly a stronger focus on specific sectors potentially with more international linkages (between different countries, where ILO is present) can provide better conditions to produce lasting changes. Additionally the cooperation with Apple Inc. in Viet Nam shows that more and more lasting results can be obtained when working with partners

context:

The EC funding to SSCBFB project has been short-term and modest in volume, influencing the project to choose a national and sector focus.

description:

The SSCBFB project duration has been insufficient to produce lasting changes at the outcome and impact level and at the level of global supply chains. While the project could generate promising perspectives for changes at the country level, a longer-term time frame, a larger budget and additional partnerships with other actors are needed to contribute to lasting chains at the international level.

administrative_issues:

In fundraising, stress the importance of sufficient budget and a long time-frame to be able to produce and show lasting results. And additionally develop a fundraising strategy to access other funds and pool efforts with other partners (responsible business networks, companies, and global and sectoral workers’ and employers’ organisations)
