Improving OSH and social conditions for women and men in coffee farmer communities in Vietnam and Indonesia – a Vision Zero Fund

The project “Improving OSH and social conditions for women and men in coffee farmer communities in Vietnam and Indonesia” is implemented by the ILO Vision Zero Fund (VZF) in partnership with the Société des Produits Nestlé S.A. and Nestrade S.A. It aims to improve workplace safety and health, labour law compliance, social protection and gender equality in the coffee supply chains in Vietnam and Indonesia. End beneficiaries include smallholder farms, collectors and coffee processing facilities and their workforce: workers cultivating, collecting and processing coffee. Since in both Vietnam and Indonesia coffee is being produced mostly by smallholders (> 90%), the project makes a contribution to strengthen workplace safety and health and access to labour rights specifically for informal economy workers in agriculture. It also aims to strengthen coffee supply chain sustainability and farmers’ livelihoods. Good practices and lessons learned during the ILO Vietnam-Nestlé partnership project (VNM/22/01/NES), implemented from 01/06/2022 to 31/03/2024, have informed the design and strategy of this new project to consolidate and expand activities in Vietnam and extend project activities to include the coffee supply chain in Indonesia. Project results are delivered under two outcomes, aligned with the Strategic Outcomes of the ILO Vision Zero Fund: • Outcome 1: Strengthened national and regional enabling environments for the promotion of workplace safety and health, labour law compliance, social protection and gender equality in the coffee supply chains in Vietnam and Indonesia. Key interventions: knowledge sharing, promotion of good practices. • Outcome 2: Women and men workers in the coffee supply chains in Vietnam and Indonesia benefit from improved access to their right to a safe and healthy working environment, social protection, and reduced exposure to OSH risks in the context of climate change. Key interventions: training, monitoring, workplace improvement, research, pilot measures.
