comments:

MOLE has formed a tripartite working committee in end 2017, the first meeting took place in mid-2018. Frequent changes in leadership in the MoLE since 2018, made it difficult for the ministry to continue discussion on this politically sensitive topic

action_plan:

Continuing support to MoLE to be provided for capacity development on the topic and for leading the process.

title:

7. MoLE should take the lead in facilitating the process in future, with ILO and other stakeholders providing technical support as required and sought by the MoLE. MoLE should lead the process following preparation of a roadmap for the introduction of an EII, taking employers and employees on board. Formation of a joint working group, with clear terms of reference and specific time frame may be considered to enhance ownership and consensus. Government-run public scheme is the only viable solution for a national scheme which will eventually cover at least all wage earners. Efforts need to be strengthened to enhance the current low confidence in the Government in Bangladesh.
