Background

The German Ministry for Development Cooperation
(BMZ) and the ILO are engaging in a renewed partnership, building on the
priorities of the German government for development cooperation and sustainable
development and ILO’s Decent Work Agenda.
 
Across Asia, the garment sector has provided
formal employment opportunities for tens of millions of workers, including a
large number of young women. The sector provides employment to more than 60
million workers worldwide, with substantial differences in estimates. Garment
production is, in short, strategic for several countries in the region.
 
Yet, significant concerns about working
conditions and respect for labour standards in these industries threaten the
potential benefits from the garment sector. A number of related issues grouped
under the term “labour market governance” stand out as needing sustained and
targeted attention. These include: building up credible labour inspection and
improving broader labour administration in respect of compliance with national
and international labour standards; developing and strengthening bipartite and
tripartite mechanisms for minimum wage fixing, collective bargaining and
dispute resolution; assuring an overall coherent and relevant legal and regulatory
framework of the labour market which govern these matters.  In addition, intervention is needed with
actors in the supply chain but outside of countries in the region.
 
This project will undertake work and
interventions in Cambodia, Indonesia, and Pakistan, and entail global and
regional components targeting the labour market governance issues described
above bot at the enterprise and national level.
 
In a large and industrially diversified
Indonesia, focused efforts of the project in the garment sector will be taken
both in a broader context, and with a necessary factory level focus.  Thus, manifold minimum wages set by
provincial governors with limited technical basis and significant political
motivation can destabilize labour market governance.   Large disparities in minimum wages in the
garment sector are the result, causing unjustified domestic wage-cost
competition. At the same time, social partner reliance on regulated minimum
wages undermines potential for collective bargaining over wages.  The project will promote knowledge-based
collective bargaining with the hoped for result of more realistic wage cost
variations, as well as strengthening the social partners by engaging them in
bargaining on this all-important issue.  
Better Work Indonesia will monitor compliance in and
of itself, improve current processes designed to sustain compliance by rolling
out a more factory-based approach, and provide access to appropriate factory
level information in support the project’s development of knowledge products
that should help social dialogue at provincial, national and global levels on
wage setting and industrial relations practices.
 
Within the policy and procedural requirements
established by the ILO, the National Programme Officer (NPO) will be responsible
for organizing and providing the technical supports of the Project.  This includes working closely with requests
for support from ILO constituents and provision of support by him/herself,
other ILO officials, and/or external expert advisers as appropriate. The
incumbent will promote ILO policies and relevant international labour
standards, including the fundamental principles and rights at work as part of
the project related technical activities.
 
Collaborating partners at the country level
include the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration, employers’ and workers
organizations, and other government agencies, as appropriate, and other
national and sectoral organizations of employers and workers and relevant
research and other specialized institutions.

the supervision of the National Programme Officer (NPO) of the project, and
under the technical supervision of the Finance and Administrative Officer of
