BackgroundThe 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.
