Strengthened capacity of member States to ratify and apply international labour standards and to fulfil their reporting obligations.

This intervention aims to strengthen constituents’ engagement on compliance with and reporting on international labour standards. It provides specific assistance in follow-up to the comments of the ILO’s supervisory bodies on the application of the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention (C87) and the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, (C98). The focus is on supporting legislative amendments and strengthening the capacity of constituents for effective implementation of laws and access to legal remedial measures. The intervention targets Government institutions, mainly the Department of Labor and Employment, the Philippine Economic Zone Authority, Department of Trade and Industry, the Philippine Economic Zone Authority, Employers’ organizations, ecozone locators/enterprises and workers’ organizations, the Philippine Statistical Authority and OSH stakeholders. The expected end-result is that tripartite constituents adopt a legislative agenda that addresses the comments of the ILO supervisory bodies. The social partners are capacitated to improve mechanisms for monitoring national legislative frameworks, which in turn fosters an enabling environment to ratify at least two additional technical Conventions.
