Resume:

The intervention seeks to promote decent work and improved livelihoods for low-skilled and disadvantaged workers within horticulture plantations in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The outcomes are: 1. Three partner trade unions have strengthened capacity and mandate to represent, cater and negotiate for plantation workers’ needs and rights and at least 74 workplaces (horticulture plantations) in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda have improved working terms and conditions for 13000 horticulture (flower sub-sector) employees by December 2023. 2. By December 2023, the relationships, solidarity, and cooperation among social partners to promote decent work and labour standards has improved resulting to harmonious labour relations, social dialogue, and fair labour practices. 3. By December 2023, three trade unions are advocating for the promotion of workers safety and health in horticulture plantations and the protection of the surrounding environments through enhanced surveillance.
