title:

Reform structural policy framework and legal environment that operates in the tea gardens through long-term as well as strengthened advocacy to have real improvements in the lives of tea garden workers. (Supported by the findings from the relevance section) 1.4. Covid-19 pandemic was the major challenge for the implementation of UN JP and disrupted by the multiple lockdowns, mobility restrictions, health crisis and socioeconomic challenges. The PUNOs have repurposed JP activities in consultation with MPTF without hampering the original project design and implementation plan to address the health safety issues of the target beneficiaries. The UN JP has taken alternative and innovative approaches to reach out tea garden workers maintaining health protocol. So, there is a critical need for BTA to develop a Standing Order Procedures (SOP) for the tea sector to mitigate the shocks in collaboration with Government, BCSU and relevant stakeholders. This would help for the tea garden workers and their families to handle any future challenges and crisis could occurred due to pandemics, or natural disaster.Reform structural policy framework and legal environment that operates in the tea gardens through long-term as well as strengthened advocacy to have real improvements in the lives of tea garden workers.
