Project description: | The project extends the already functioning DecentWorkCheck in South Africa with two national websites, in Zambia and Mozambique. The DecentWorkCheck tools are brought to the attention of the working population in metropolitan/urban agglomerations where internet connections are good and widespread. The target groups are offered a means for raising awareness and action, as well as an online platform for a public debate on Decent Work. Results and insights acquired are ploughed back into policies of the relevant authorities, institutions and organizations. Next to that, the topic Decent Work through partner organizations, trade unions in particular, will find its place on a variety of offline agendas. Meetings at which Decent Work will be discussed are held amongst the rank and file of partner organizations, not necessarily limited to urban areas only. In preparation of such meetings checks and other relevant information are put together and made available in print. Also results of these meetings will be reported and made available as input for (new) policies, tips and advice by the project organization. Thematic topics of Decent Work are: |
