Lesson 4: While the project’s efforts to engage with social partners should be examined in light of local conditions, notably political instability, decent work outcomes that require greater policy advocacy cannot be achieved without workers’ and employers’ organisations active participation in the conceptualisation and design of key interventions. Action 4: Greater collaboration with tripartite constituents is key to building strong labour market institutions and fostering an enabling environment for economic growth. The project could map out institutional arrangements, legal frameworks and informal practices of social dialogue in the implementation region. It could work closely with the ILO’s relevant departments, such as the Social Dialogue and Tripartism Unit, to gather good practices on how to effectively engage with social partners. The project could also utilise the ILO fragility compass to design interventions that combine the right to work and rights at work.

context:

Internal coherence with ILO departments and external coherence with implementation agencies.

success:

Social dialogue was not the primary objective of R2J but could nonetheless be used to address decent work deficits. While some decent work targets that require policy advocacy are difficult to achieve in a fragile context, the project managed to create more productive jobs that guarantee beneficiaries a higher income.
