End-term Evaluation of a Strategic Partnership for Garment Supply Chain Transformation 2016 - 2020
SRops Consulting is proud to be engaged by RBAs/Scanteam AS as country evaluator for Vietnam in the Dutch "Strategic Partnership for Garment Supply Chain Transformation" (SP) in its five year of €32 million partnership between Fair Wear Foundation, major Dutch trade union confederations CNV Internationaal and Mondiaal FNV, and Dutch MFA. The goal of this SP was aiming at "Better for workers while still good for business" which sets out to improve corporate and public policies and practices in 7 garment exporting countries, focusing on #SocialDialogue, #LivingWages and #GenderBasedViolence, targeting changes at political, industry and producer levels.
"Better workers while still good for business". This was the goal of Dutch "Strategic Partnership for Garment Supply Chain Transformation" (SP). In our evaluation, Responsible Business Advisors / Scanteam AS, SRops Consulting and Paradigm Shift Global, found that SP has influenced policies in all targeted production countries. Its support to several key collaborative platforms has been crucial, evidence-based advocacy has proven powerful and the partners' joint convening power is considerable. The bilateral relations between the Dutch unions and their national partners are crucial for trust, while Fair Wear opens the door to brands and producers and adds credibility to the SP towards governments.
Future efforts should focus on implementation of existing laws and levelling the playing field, i.e. by requiring import companies to integrate minimum wages in their due diligence and decent work.
