Highlights and Insights from the ILO project
Promoting Decent Work in Garment Sector Global Supply Chains
Highlights and insights from the ILO project "Labour Standards in Global Supply Chains: a Programme of Action for Asia and the Garment Sector (LSGSC)"
The International Labour Organization (ILO)’s “Labour Standards in Global Supply Chains: A Programme of Action for Asia and the Garment Sector” (LSGSC) project addressed a range of decent work deficits in global supply chains in the garment sector, particularly those related to wages, collective bargaining, and compliance with labour standards.
LSGSC’s overall objective was to improve the lives of workers and increase decent work opportunities in global supply chains in the garment sector, starting with the project’s beneficiary countries: Cambodia, Indonesia and Pakistan. In pursuit of this goal, LSGSC delivered a programme of action that included interventions at factory-level and country-level, as well as global and Asia regional components.
The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, through the German Federal Ministry for Development Cooperation (BMZ) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), provided a total of approximately US$8 million in funding for LSGSC, which was implemented from December 2014 to March 2019, as part of a renewed partnership between BMZ and the ILO signed in May 2014.
