title:

In future FPRW projects in the agricultural sector in Morocco, the ILO and/or USDOS should focus additional resources on strengthening sectoral Workers and Employers’ organizations and on their member education programs. Many informants highlighted that greater FPRW awareness by workers and employers was necessary to improve respect for fundamental labour rights in agriculture. Informants from all stakeholder categories indicated a lot more could be done to educate and organize the agricultural workforce and that agriculture sector unions needed support. Project challenges finding an appropriate employers’ representative organization within the Agriculture sector with which to collaborate on social dialogue likewise highlights an important gap in the sector. Project work at the enterprise level shows that when both workers and employers are awareness of the potential benefits of social dialogue and collective negotiation, progress can be made. To scale up these efforts, stronger representative organizations are needed. (high level priority, medium resource implications).
