title:

Develop further the potential for team work between ROAS specialists to build tripartism in each country. Objective: To build cooperative practice within ROAS between the key specialists to enable them to help the EOs focus on opportunities for government and worker representative input to addressing obstacles confronting the development of an enabling business environment. Steps: Set up a standing team of RO Director with ES, WS, and NORMES specialist meeting regularly. Produce a proactive strategy, regularly reviewed (and forming a required heading in mission reports). An M&E matrix should be developed for use by this group Make greater use of the Standards specialist as an interlocutor with the Government. And ensure that the Chamber status of most EOs (relating to Ministries of Commerce rather than Ministries of Labour) does not impede either ILO or EOs in their dialogues with regional Governments. Encourage EOs to re-assess any view that trade unions are ineffective partners and seek further ILO inputs from other countries’ experience (and from the use of ILO tools such as WISE or FIP, that reinforces the link between worker involvement and business productivity. Identify specific industries where productivity cooperation will have early tangible effects. Work with the “stronger” tripartite partner in each country to encourage local leadership in creating and using tripartite structures and dialogue (e.g.: ensure government calls tripartite committee meetings).
