Programme bilateral relations
In many beneficiary states the social dialogue between trade unions, employers’ associations and the government is not used in an effective way to promote social and economic policy, better working and living conditions and social justice.
The programme will increase the awareness and knowledge among employees, employers and public authorities of the benefits of decent work and social dialogue and ensure improved capacity of social partners for transparent bipartite and tripartite collaboration.
The main objectives of the programme are as follows:
- support and improve social dialogue and tripartite cooperation;
- establishing decent work objectives, implementing decent work agenda;
- promoting fair and decent working conditions;
- raising awareness of the benefits of decent work, e.g. work-life balance, gender equality and non-discrimination, attitudes on health and safety, knowledge about rights and obligations and the fight against undeclared work and social dumping (work-related crime);
- better dealing with the challenges of high unemployment.
The success of the programme will be measured by the results of a tripartite coo
peration. One of the aim is to increase the number of employees and enterprises that have improved decent work arrangements.
