Project STO/ Component: Output 1.1.1.1 Gender – Responsive Strategic Compliance Plans of
industry tripartite councils on labour and gender equality in target
sectors are developed and implemented

Specific Objective:
To validate the findings and results of the baseline study and sectoral
assessment and gather recommendation from tripartite partners
To develop a Gender Responsive Tripartite Strategic Compliance Plan
which includes Project targets and strategies aimed at increasing
compliance to labour standards, OSH and gender equality within the
Project’s target sectors

I. Background and Objectives of the Activity:

In November 2021, the Project initiated its Baseline Study and Sectoral Assessment activity which aims
to assist the Project in ensuring that the Project’s target- setting is evidence-based, and that strategies
would take into account root causes of issues, drivers and non-drivers of compliance, sectoral nuances,
and existing opportunities for reforms, including potential areas for sustainability. This activity aims to
produce a comprehensive baseline and sectoral assessments of the working conditions of rural workers,
particularly women, in the target sub-sectors of both Indonesia and the Philippines and covers working
conditions in the Project’s target sub sectors in Philippines and Indonesia covering fundamental
principles and rights at work (FPRW) employment arrangements, wages, hours of work, social security,
leaves, including OSH, and gender equality in the target subsectors of the Project.

Rapid Asia, the Project’s service provider for the baseline study and sectoral assessment together with
the National Consultant who is an expert in the areas of occupational safety and health (OSH), labour
standards and gender equality spearheaded the activity with support and assistance from the Project
and Tripartite partners. Key informant and in-depth interviews, focus groups discussion and workers’
survey focusing on key themes of the Project were conducted from the 3rd week of March until the 2nd
week of April. Tripartite partners supported the baseline study and sectoral assessment by providing
inputs on the study’s methodology and tools, participating actively in the inception workshop and data
collection including representing their organizations for the interviews and FGDs, and assisting the
service provider in coordinating with pilot communities to ensure the safe entry of local enumerators to
the communities and access to workers from pilot enterprises.
Following a rigorous three week data collection period from, the consultants have finally consolidated,
cleaned and analysed results of the baseline study and sectoral assessment. These results will be

1
 presented to the tripartite partners for validation and used as reference in planning targets and
interventions that are gender-responsive and will help in the promotion of compliance to labour
standards, OSH and gender equality within the Project’s target sectors.

Thus, the Project is proposing the conduct of a series of regional / provincial1 and national
Presentation and Validation of the Baseline Study and Sectoral Assessment and Tripartite Strategic
Compliance Planning.

• Philippines: 4 Regional activities in Davao, General Santos City, Butuan City and Legaspi City
1 National activity in Manila, Philippines
• Indonesia: 4 Provincial Activities in Riau, East Kalimantan, Maluku and North Sulawesi
1 National activity in Jakarta, Indonesia

The objectives of these series of activities for both countries are:

1.) To validate the findings and results of the baseline study and sectoral assessment and gather
recommendation from tripartite partners at the regional and national levels
2.) To develop a Gender Responsive Tripartite Strategic Compliance Plan which includes Project
targets and strategies aimed at increasing compliance to labour standards, OSH and gender
equality within the Project’s target sectors

The regional/provincial and national activities will gather inputs at the regional sectoral level to the
national level to better reflect and capture plans and recommendations at all levels of the Project. This
will also provide an opportunity for the regional tripartite partners to focus on the validation of baseline
study and sectoral assessments at the regional level to reflect the current and existing working
conditions in the regions.

At the national level, national tripartite partners shall take into consideration the regional strategic
compliance plans (SCPs) and in the formulation of the Tripartite Partners’ SCPs at the national level.
This two-pronged approach (regional and national) in developing the SCPs ensure that results, targets
and strategies, risks and mitigation, and sustainability mechanisms or measures are captured at all
levels. The SCP activity will also provide an opportunity for the Tripartite partners to revisit the Project’s
sustainability strategy and how will it apply to developed targets and strategies / interventions. In
addition, the Tripartite Gender Responsive SCP will provide concrete and coherent strategies and
interventions for Project priorities, and guide the implementation and delivery of targeted outcomes.

II. Expected Outputs:

The expected outputs from these series of series of regional / provincial and national Presentation
and Validation of the Baseline Study and Sectoral Assessment and Tripartite Strategic Compliance
Planning are the
following:
1.) Validated results of the baseline study and sectoral assessments that are agreed by all tripartite
partners, both at the regional and national level

1
Please note that in Indonesia, the approach will be at the Provincial Level where the Project will be working on.

 2.) 6 (4 for PH and 2 for ID) Regional and two (1 for each country) National Tripartite Strategic
Compliance Plans that reflect regional targets, interventions and strategies, risks and mitigation
strategies and sustainability measures / mechanisms
