These responsibilities fall within the broader MAMPU project
objectives of economic and social empowerment for target beneficiaries.
Economic and social empowerment of women workers will be pursued through the
following strategic interventions:
-
Strengthening
the organisational capacity and representation of targeted vulnerable women
workers;
-
Supporting
women to transition from informal to formal employment;
-
Strengthening
the ability of partner civil society organisations to provide services and
facilities to women to reduce barriers to decent work in the formal sector;
-
Supporting
employer incentives to empower women and implement better working conditions
and innovative employment responses; and
- Influencing
and strengthening national and local policies, programs and laws to promote
women’s economic empowerment and equality.
The main
areas of intervention of the project will take place through a series of pilot
projects. Pilot projects will include:
(1)
Supporting home based workers
to formalize and access better working conditions and livelihoods;
(2)
Strengthening the ability of
trade unions and women’s organisations to organize and better represent women’s
rights and interests at work;
(3)
Technical assistance to
employers to support decent work for women and substantive equality in terms of
labour market outcomes; and
(4)
Supporting women’s
cooperatives and groups to provide accessible childcare services and other
facilities to enable poor women to access or return to employment.
These pilot
programs have a strong focus on institution building of local project partners
to strengthen the visibility, representation and social and economic
empowerment of women workers in Indonesia. In addition to these pilot programs,
the project will support policy reform and provide programme support at the
national and local levels to promote a more conducive environment for women to
access formal employment. Awareness raising and advocacy on principles of
equality and non-discrimination in employment will also be promoted.
