Title | How Decent is my Flower Farm? |
Funded by | Mondiaal FNV |
Duration | July 2019 - December 2020 |
Goal | Improve labour conditions in the flower sector in Ethiopia and Uganda. |
Description |
The project focuses on 4 activities: 1) map cost of living levels in and around 3 selected floricultural hubs (2 in Ethiopia and 1 in Uganda) and present living wages; 2) collect and analyse factory cases of non-compliance with the labour law using the special DecentWorkChecks developed by WageIndicator, 3) make an inventory of all Collective Bargaining Agreements in the sector, analyse the clauses and propose (gender-specific) improvements and finally, 4) bring the results of these 3 investigations forward in a debate in both Ethiopia and Uganda, involving as many and diverse stakeholders as possible in these social dialogues. The project results, both intermediate and a final report will be published on Mywage.org/Ethiopia and Mywage.ug and Africapay.org/Uganda for consultation, reference and practical application. |
