How will Better Work and SLCP engage national constituents?
In all Better Work countries, Better Work will consult with national constituents and will facilitate SLCP consultations to inform them about the SLCP and gather their inputs for any suggested changes.
It is of critical importance that national constituents are able to decide how they may or may not want to use the tool, including the possibility of taking a central role in the governance and implementation of the tool to strengthen national compliance and enforcement mechanisms and to promote stronger national governance of global supply chains.
National partners in Bangladesh, Indonesia and Vietnam, including governments, employers, and unions – are currently providing inputs to Better Work on SLCP. Better Work will begin consultation on SLCP in Cambodia and Ethiopia alongside development of national level overlays. The program will review learnings in July/August from roll out in the first three countries before making a final decision on rollout.
