action_plan:

At the time of the MTE, the development of the VZF private sector engagement (PSE) strategy had just commenced. The broad outline of the strategy, including potential action areas at global and country levels were presented to and endorsed by the VZF Advisory Committee and Steering Committee in November 2020. VZF Secretariat, with support from AC and SC members, will reach out to private sector actors at the global and country levels within the ‘Collective Action’ Framework. In Vietnam, the project has engaged a consultant to operationalize the VZF global PSE strategy at the country level, and to develop a specific action plan for the project. The project made an effort to engage with MNEs (such as Tchibo and Nestle) from the start of the project in order to ensure their continued participation in project activities. “Contacts were also established with the Global Coffee Platform, an initiative that brings together coffee producers, trade, roasters, retailers, sustainability standards and other key stakeholders, to work collectively towards a thriving, sustainable coffee sector. Partnership opportunities with the GCP, to further strengthened collaboration with the PS, will be explored at global and local levels.

title:

Follow up on the private sector engagement strategy, to strengthen the participation of private sector actors and international brands, with the deployment of appropriate measures and the allocation of sufficient resources to develop proper mechanisms to support OSH throughout GSCs. Country-level challenges and successes in reaching out to private sectors and national brands should feed into this process. One of the key selling points of the VZF lies in its unique expertise in OSH, which is one of several aspects to address in GSCs, and constitutes a solid entry point, along with other changes that are equally important to ensure decent work conditions.
