title:

The ILO should focus remediation interventions on longer term DIFE capacity building related to the ISU and strengthen NI factories access to remediation financing • Intensify capacity building for DIFE related to ISU, focus on core group of DIFE engineers • Facilitate tripartite consultations and discussion on ISU as well as how ISU and RSC will interact • In ILO’s post Covid-19 RMG strategy, explore feasibility of program for small and medium factories that provide holistic assistance to improve safety, compliance with ILS and productivity, for example SCORE, WISE • Advocate for factory upgrade financing facilities appropriate for small & medium factories • If funding is available, consider partial remediation grants to NI enterprises for safety upgrades for enterprises willing to invest own resources, since lack of funding appears to be a significant constraint for some enterprises
