description:

Multiple advocacy strategies are required to secure the buy-in of the private sector in the fisheries supply chain in the Philippines and Indonesia. The Project design assumed that enterprises in each target sector would be willing to participate as pilot demonstration models for good practices in bipartite dialogue mechanisms, improved OSH practices and gender equality measures. However, in sub-sectors such as fishing vessel operation and fish processing, and to some extent banana growing, the private sector has so far been hesitant to engage with workers’ organizations in bipartite dialogue, especially given the dynamics between the industry and specific trade unions representing the fishing industry in the country. Therefore, in the Philippines, the project team is considering alternative entry points via Industry Tripartite Councils, to encourage improved labour standards and gender equality in the sector, in addition to, or instead of a pilot enterprise approach. In Indonesia the project team is considering the use of the ILO SCORE methodology to increase the buy-in of participating seafood processing enterprises.
