description:

Cambodia Garment and Footwear Sector Bulletin. This good practice was developed by the Labour Standards in Global Supply Chains (LSGSC) project (2013-2018). The overall objective of LSGSC was to improve the lives of workers and increase decent work opportunities in the global garment sector supply chain, starting with three main beneficiary countries: Cambodia, Indonesia, and Pakistan. The project had three immediate objectives: Immediate Objective 1 (IO1): Systems for participatory and evidence-based minimum wage-fixing, wages policy, and collective bargaining will have been improved in the target countries. Immediate Objective 2 (IO2): Systems for assuring labour standards compliance at the factory level will have improved in the target countries; Immediate Objective 3 (IO3): Institutional capacity of tripartite partners to respond to labour standards challenges in the global garment sector supply chain will have improved. Various ILO and constituent key informants cited the Cambodia Garment and Footwear Sector Bulletin, issued on average twice per year by the project, as a project good practice with potential for replication in other projects. The information contained in the bulletins had been a very useful guide for annual minimum wage negotiations involving the government, workers and employers. One Better Factories Cambodia official also underlined the usefulness of the ‘Cambodia Bulletin’ to a broader stakeholder audience stating that: “The bulletins have been very helpful in our conversations with buyers.” One ILO specialist likewise affirmed that: “One of the exciting achievements of this project has been the wage bulletin. We need to invest in the capacity of nationally-rooted institutions that can produce that kind of material. It has been very important to support the CBA negotiation process”.
