Why is Better Work consulting with national constituents on the SLCP CAF 1.4?
Better Work is required by its ILO mandate to consult with governments, employers and workers in the countries where we work on our tools, data, reporting and methodologies. ILO constituents, including factories and workers, are the main stakeholders and beneficiaries of the programme. This consultation on SLCP CAF 1.4 is therefore an essential step to gain buy-in and credibility for the tool. Better Work has been consulting with national constituents on the rationale behind the tool and how they could potentially benefit from having a greater role in the governance of the data to strengthen national compliance and enforcement mechanisms. Better Work is coordinating with SLCP during the consultation process and inviting them to discussions where relevant; Better Work is also sharing any fundamental concerns put forward by national constituents as early as possible. Critical issues raised by constituents must be addressed prior to use of the tool by Better Work in each country. Additional constituent feedback this will be incorporated into the tool and approach during scheduled tool revisions.
