At the time the current respondent left the work, the DC project was not yet approved, leaving very little resources to pursue the planned work.

action_plan:

Cambodia: sectoral collective bargaining is suspended due to the challenges presented by EBA withdrawal procedures instituted by the EU. New development cooperation project is in the pipeline, in discussion with potential donor. This is expected to provide the resources necessary to provide continued support 1) to move ahead with the sectoral collective bargaining, building an institutional platform of "bargaining council" which will facilitate enterprise-level follow-up, and the establishment of a dispute resolution mechanism within the bargaining structure (with the support of the AC), 2) to use the garment sector experience as the source of knowledge for development of collective bargaining in other sectors

title:

The ILO should consider the following intervention areas for medium or long-term follow-up on LSGSC interventions, if funding is available:
• Cambodia:
Support the establishment of credible and effective monitoring and dispute resolution mechanism for sectoral CBA if agreement reached
Support capacity of a garment sector bargaining council, if such a council is established.
Provide technical advisory services on extension of minimum wage to new sectors in Cambodia per new (July 2018) minimum wage law and apparent government intentions.
• Indonesia:
Follow-up on policy note on “Building a More Effective Industrial Dispute Settlement System in Indonesia” by identifying need for additional technical assistance and investigating potential for identifying donor resources to support larger scale follow-up support to the ILO Tripartite partners to implement policy note recommendations.
• Pakistan:
Consider a follow-up set of interventions to identify mechanisms to promote payment of statutory minimum wages to home-based and informal sector workers in the garment sector.
