- description:
- The Skills for Employment Project of the FCDO aimed to promote jobs and reduce Nepal’s dependence on labour migration. ILO’s SEP-TA component addressed advancing employment and migration laws and policies. As part of SEP-TA, the ILO promoted the establishment of social dialogue mechanisms in two of Nepal’s most commercially active provinces and four municipalities in one of those provinces. These tripartite mechanisms were required under the new Labour Law (2017). Their establishment also signaled an important milestone in the previously contentious relationship between employer organizations and trade unions in the country.
The ILO drew on its historical, trusted relationships with the Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FNCCI), national trade unions and the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MOLESS). It worked with local chambers, trade union chapters and provincial and municipality governments to support the establishment of the social dialogue mechanisms. Inputs included: technical assistance and facilitation from a senior social dialogue expert (based nearby in the regional ILO office in Delhi); sharing relevant models and experience of social dialogue mechanisms from other countries; development and translation of relevant knowledge products (for instance grievance handling and collective bargaining tools). The process built capacity and ownership. By the end of the project, two Provincial Labour Advisory Council (PLAC) had a legal framework, and one (in Lumbini Province) was ratified and operational. Municipality labour desks designed for information sharing about new entitlement programs and local dispute resolution received similar types of inputs and by the end of the project, frameworks were in place.
