Improving OSH and social conditions for women and men in coffee farmer communities in Vietnam

1. Objective It is the overall objective of the partnership project between the ILO Vietnam and Nestlé to promote decent working conditions for women and men in coffee farmer communities - with particular focus on OSH, access to social protection and gender equality. Activities under this partnership will make direct contributions to advancing the ILO’s Decent Work Agenda in Vietnam through inclusion of the informal sector in agriculture. By building community-level capacity to help farmers improve and promote safety and health in the workplace, their homes and communities, and benefit from social protection measures, their livelihoods will be strengthened, complementing Nestlé’s farmer support programmes to promote sustainable coffee cultivation practices and climate change resilience. 2.
