Section 6 - Tripartite participation

Section 6 - Tripartism

Thanks to the Tripartite Consultation Group that has been created in 2011 for the ILO-EU project on improving social protection and promoting employment, workers and employers representatives have been involved since the very beginning of the project formulation. Actually, the idea of having a one-stop shop for social protection and employment services has emerged as one of the conclusion of the ILO-EU project.

In addition to the participation to that group, workers and employers representatives have been involved in several workshops in the year 2011-2013.

They were notably present during the South-South Exchange on "Integrating Social Policies and the Delivery of the Social Protection Floor" held at Siem Reap from the 29th to the 31st May 2013. The employers were represented by CAMFEBA (Cambodian federation of employers and business association) while the workers were represented by the independent democratic of informal economy association, the farmers’ association for peace and development, the Cambodian tourism and service workers federation and the building and wood workers trade union.

Together with government representatives, those organizations have been involved in a working group for the implementation of Social Protection Floors in Cambodia. The conclusion presented by that group at the end of the workshop reaffirmed the commitment of Cambodia to implement a one-stop shop for social and employment services.
