comments:

ILO has initiated dialogue with main partners in order to involve the promotion of fundamental rights at work in all development project: Ministry of agriculture, FAO, IFAD, UNIDO. All these partners agreed but we still need to make a mapping of policies and programs related to agriculture sector and their linkages with FRW

title:

In future FPRW projects in the agricultural sector in Morocco or elsewhere, the ILO and/or USDOS should develop partnerships with other key stakeholders in the agricultural sector and in rural communities. Potential partners include international buyers and their auditors, local development and human rights associations, and Ministry of Agriculture fieldworkers. The project highlighted that defending workers’ rights in rural areas is challenged by the capacity limitations of ILO’s tripartite constituents. Other experiences in Morocco (Oxfam) and elsewhere show that involving supply chain actors and non-governmental organizations in promoting labour law compliance and human rights have contributed to progress without undermining ILO tripartite constituents’ role. Such a partnership strategy, especially if implemented by the ILO in Morocco where these types of partnerships do not currently exist on FPRW issues, should allocate adequate time and resources for their development. (high level priority, medium resource implications).
