lessons_learned:
description:
The fact that some constituents were not organized, and others did not represent workers’ voices, resulted in the inability to form a tripartite structure. This affected the results because key actors were not always included in the implementation. To overcome such difficulties some form of mechanism could have been set up to increase cooperation between actors.
context:
Domestic work (in any country) cannot accommodate a tripartite structure, because usually employers and workers are not organized. In other sectors, the representation of migrants and specifically migrant women cannot be ensured in trade unions as it was found that they can be very discriminatory. The finding can be extrapolated to the representation of other disadvantaged groups (e.g., minorities and disabled workers).
success:
The Programme found ways to ensure the representation of migrant women through partners at the grassroots level.
challenges:
If constituents are not true representative bodies, the tripartite structure of ILO cannot be maintained. However, if major actors are not included, it may be harder to achieve changes in their perceptions of the Programme’s goals.
administrative_issues:
In specific contexts mentioned above, the tripartite structure of the ILO could be interpreted more flexibly in the design of the Programme. And alternative forms of inclusion could have been introduced (e.g., some Working Groups).
comments:
Female migrant workers and employers.
