action_plan:

The ILES project has been providing continuity of support to the enterprises through the SCORE short course and the ILO’s newly developed “Factory Improvement Toolkit” (FIT). The support is being planned to design a productivity focused training and in-factory technical assistance for 12 months long support to large enterprises. Currently the ILES project is supporting the implementation of the SCORE Lean Manufacturing/Productivity course through training of 20 trainers from business development service providers and training consultants to provide support to more than ten enterprises from the textile, leather and readymade garment industries. The project is in the process of recruiting a team of expert to conduct gender analysis in textile and leather sector to inform gender issues, gaps, required interventions. The analysis will lead to a development of a gender policy brief to advise Project Steering Committee and policy makers on improving gender equality in textile and leather sector in Pakistan.

title:

Move forward with productivity program for 25 pilot enterprises keeping SCORE’s workplace cooperation module at the core of the new programme. The terms of reference for the new programme should likewise require gender integration: female participation on committees, training for female workers (BW female supervisor training shown to improve productivity), accommodation for female workers (childcare and breast-feeding facilities). The new programme should feature a baseline and post-intervention data collection strategy so that ILO can develop and communicate the business case for programme interventions, including workplace cooperation.
