action_plan:

The new Better Work strategy sets out the directions we will take to amplify our impact. One objective is to strengthen the capacity of national constituents to govern labour markets and labour relations more effectively. This is long-term work that will involve Better Work collaborating closely with other functions within the ILO and the World Bank Group. This includes: i) working with national institutions and social partners to approve their ability to engage the private sector and to better understand and utilize commercial incentives that influence business for stronger workplace compliance; ii) foster closer cooperation and joint action plans between the private sector and national gvt agencies - this collaboration may be focused on strengthening labour laws; iii) make BW tools and approaches widely available to national partners and help adapt them for thir use; iv) collaborate with ACTRAV and ACTEMP, FUNDAMENTALS, GED, INWORK to strengthen the capacity and ownership of employer and workers organizations in the area of gender, compliance, constituent representation, social dialogue, collective bargaining and freedom of association. Better Work is now acting on these commitments in different ways e.g. integrated approach to delivering techn. assist. and policy engagement in Ethiopia, alignment of interventions between ILO and WBG/IFC e.g. Jordan productivity programme in satellite factories; collaboration with labour inspectors in Indonesia to develop stronger compliance frameworks.

title:

Continue to explore and monitor alternative options for strengthening the enabling environment (Responsibility: BW, ILO departments and national ILO constituents; Timing: mid-term) a) Up to now, institutionalization strategies for BW’s compliance monitoring activities focus a lot on strengthening the inspectorate and contributing to policy reforms. A sustainable compliance monitoring system requires also substantial capacity amongst the social partners. Considering the lack of capacity of employers’ associations, various intermediaries (local consultancies, research institutes …) and workers organizations, there is a need for BW, together with other ILO units, to increase efforts to build the capacity and increase the voice of the social partners in order to strengthen all the components of the system. b) BWG should consider providing additional support to the country teams to enable them to develop, together with local stakeholders, country road maps for the influencing agenda. This should also contribute to making sure that ILO acts in a concerted way on the ground.
