comments:

Overall, the linkages across the macro, meso and micro levels of intervention of the programme are crucial to its overall effectiveness. In addition to country-specific measures, listed below, the sectoral/meso dimension in the overall ecosystems approach is considered as crucial to an effective linkage across these levels. Consistent with an improved sector-selection approach, a strengthened sectoral development approach will also be a key area of focus in the programme’s incremental improvement. It also links to recommendation Nr. 4 to focus interventions on fewer geographic areas and integrate a cluster perspective on top of the sector-focus.

action_plan:

For Ghana several activities are proposed to better link the macro and meso levels (and even the micro level): a. The project will continue supporting the national-level organization Ghana Trade Union Congress (GTUC) and the Ghana Employers’ Association (GEA) to strengthen their presence in the selected sectors and their capabilities to support these sectors through productivity trainings, development of position papers and the creation of a pricing mechanism for the shea sector. b. The project will continue to support the implementation of the national Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) policy in the two sectors, for example through “Leading Safely Trainings” for decision makers in the priority sectors c. The project will support implementation of the revised national Labour Code in the two sectors d. The project will deepen the development of macro level productivity statistics through sector level statistics In Viet Nam the Labour Productivity Forum piloted in 2023 will be continued in 2024 and 2025 as a space to review upscaling potential with sector stakeholders and wider range of relevant partners and strengthen linkages to national policy making. In South Africa, the project will strengthen its working with relationship with Nedlac to achieve stronger macro-meso relationships in project implementation.

title:

2. Strengthen macro and meso level engagement and collaboration: Continue to encourage constant knowledge exchange between bottom-up activities (BSO and enterprise support activities) and top-down policies. This will continue to help reduce wastage of resources and duplication of efforts and enhance demand driven interventions. The ILO country offices should continue to facilitate these engagements and collaborations with Tripartite partners and sector-level players to help streamline efforts, avoid redundancy, and maximize impact in addressing the needs and priorities of the partners and stakeholders.
