Technical support on SMEs in Bolivia

This project aims at assisting workers’ and employers’ organizations to elaborate, propose, discuss and implement public policies to improve labour conditions, productivity and the enabling environment to generate decent work and productive employment. The project follows-up on the recommendations of the report for Bolivia prepared using the Enabling Environment for Sustainable Enterprises (EESE) tool, covering a broad spectrum of issues affecting enterprises such as the legal and regulatory environment, as well as social and economic factors. Additionally, the intervention will expand and provide sustainability to the implementation of SCORE (Sustaining Competitive and Responsible Enterprises) in Bolivia, a practical training and in-factory counselling programme that improves productivity and working conditions in small and medium enterprises. The implementation strategy is based on social dialogue and on the active participation of the social partners as well as relevant ministries such as the Ministry of Production. The project is being developed with a gender perspective promoting the participation of women in the activities and social dialogue.
