Mexico & Vietnam: The VZF VN project will promote the WIND training programme through already existing structures at community level, notably Women's Union, Farmers' Union, NAEC or the supplier networks of international coffee buyers. The existing WIND training programme includes already many good practices from other countries. It would benefit from adding video material. Under the current project and the new project, the testing of new rollout strategies is not planned. Their piloting will require cost and time effort that go beyond the resources available to the VZF VN project. Andean Office: A través del Fondo Visión Cero, se elaboró la primera Caja de herramientas sobre seguridad y salud en el trabajo (SST) para la cadena mundial de suministro del café, con instrumentos desarrollados y aplicados en América Latina. Además, se desarrollaron jornadas académicas con materiales andragógicos creados por la OIT para la gestión del riesgo en el sector que incluyeron metodologías, rotafolios y cartillas adaptadas al contexto del sector cafetero, así como programas radiales. Estos materiales se adaptaron a nuevos sectores o iniciativas en la ruralidad colombiana impactando no solo al sector cafetero, sino al sector agrícola en general. Contemplando que en el sector cafetero y en general la ruralidad cuenta con barreras como las dificultades de usar un computador, la capacidad de internet o datos en la región y los resultados del estudio de la OIT sobre las condiciones de trabajo y de salud de las personas que realizan actividades temporales o estacionales en cultivos de café, donde se resalto que la red social más usada por los trabajadores encuestados para comunicarse es el WhatsApp. Por lo anterior, se ha implementado un programa formativo a través de WhatsApp, que tomó como base las diferentes herramientas metodológicas desarrolladas por la Federación Nacional de Cafeteros y la OIT para mejorar la seguridad y salud en el trabajo en la cadena de suministro de café, tales como: Curso Virtual “Mi Finca un Entorno Saludable”, radio novela “mi finca, mi hogar y mi tesoro”, cartilla digital “Mi Finca, un entorno Saludable y seguro”, rotafolio de la cartilla, así como otros materiales de apoyo existentes relacionados con la temática en cuestión.

For direct interventions with farm owners, managers and/or workers: • In the content of the training courses or workshops: (i) incorporate more real examples from farms in the country; (ii) show good practices from farms in other countries and how to apply them on their own farms; and (iii) include in sensitisation and awareness-raising kits delivered to farms, audiovisual material on what can happen on their farms if they do not give due importance to safe, healthy and sustainable working conditions, so that it can be constantly observed or listened to within the farms. • In the methodology of the training courses or workshops: identify and establish alliances with school-farms, so that they in turn can train other farms. This could generate the following advantages: (i) more dynamic, practical and demonstrative teaching; (ii) greater cost-effectiveness because more farms could be reached with fewer external ILO consultants; and (iii) those who receive the training would pay more attention because the person training them would be known by them, a worker like them, with real experiences similar to theirs, all of which generates more confidence and motivation. • Complement the training with personalised on-site assistance and accompaniment on the farms themselves. Five or six farms could be visited in each country, working 1 or 2 days per farm; and the farms would be selected on an intentional basis after reviewing a work plan or other document that reveals the farms' interest, motivation and commitment to improve OSH on their premises.
