PROG 2017-2021_Outcome_Organizations of people in precarious living conditions have contributed to the improvement and the enforcement of labour rights and the right to social protection, including the right to health, with attention to the interests of both men and women.

The programme in Zimbabwe focusses on ILO pillars 2 and 3 of decent work, i.e. on improving labour rights and the access thereto, and the right to social protection and health for the beneficiaries and members of our partners’ organisations. The beneficiaries are men and women in precarious living and working conditions, mainly farm workers and members of rural communities, who try to organize themselves to change their circumstances and to demand their rights, with a specific focus on women and youth. Our partners provide education and information on rights, on organizing and on the socio-economic, political and environmental context; they build the confidence and empower their members/beneficiaries, specifically women, and stimulate them to unite in order to demand their rights. In addition to mobilizing communities and workers, our Zimbabwean partners will try to have an impact on decision making processes and the drafting, amending and enforcing of new and existing laws. They will do so through participating in social dialogue and collective bargaining platforms. They will support active community participation and awareness and they will try to make voices of precarious workers and communities heard in society.
