comments:

"CO-Manila appreciates the specific recommended actions to strengthen the Project focus on women rural workers. The Project will pursue the recommended actions in collaboration with partners. The Project has so far been doing this by mainstreaming gender in the promotion of labour standards, including the gender dimension of OSH but agrees that there should be more specific focus.Furthermore, given the Project’s gender mainstreaming strategy, the Project agrees that apart from promotion of compliance to labour standards specific for women the Project could focus on an existing programmes that promote gender equality. "

action_plan:

"The Project shall continue to promote equality of women's participation in project activities to build their capacities. In the promotion of labour standards, tiers of the supply chain dominated by women will be given ample attention. As agreed with partners, apart from promotion of compliance to labour standards specific for women, the Project could focus on an existing programme that promotes gender equality, such as the Family Welfare Programme.

title:

11. Strengthen the focus on women rural workers. This could be achieved through the following actions: a. Promote selection of pilot enterprises or informal sector smallholdings where women are concentrated. For example, the fishing industry pilot engagement could focus on tuna processing, b. Work with the newly formed women’s worker associations in banana or fish processing c. Ensure the participatory action-oriented approach is gender sensitive in its guidance and application d. Continue to apply gender mainstreaming in promoting compliance to gender standards
