Outcome 10: Thematic funding for 2014-15 (Sida-ILO Partnership Programme 2014-17)

This project combines two components. The first is trying to identify ways and means to improve working conditions in Global Supply Chains with a focus on the respect of workers’ rights. This component of the project will concentrate its efforts on research and knowledge building related to cross border social dialogue and on the role that could be played by the ILO within the framework of the ILC discussion scheduled in 2016. The second component focuses on strengthening International Labour Standard, with a particular focus on freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, in Global Supply Chains and Export Processing Zones (EPZs). This component will target union leaders and union reps that are involved in the process of organizing workers in supply chains and EPZs at different levels, from the Global Union Federations down to sectoral and enterprise unions on the ground.
