The ILO and its tripartite constituents jointly review the progress of Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) for Indonesia 2020-2025 to be adaptable with the fast-changing world of work.
JAKARTA, – On 24 February, representatives of governments, employers and workers convened in Jakarta for a Tripartite Meeting to review Indonesia’s Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) 2020-2025. This programme, initiated in 2020 in response to rapid changes in the world of work, aims to address evolving employment regulations by identifying three key priorities: social dialogue, job creation and protection for vulnerable worker groups.
Unlike previous DWCP reviews, the evaluation of DWCP 2020-2025 has utilized the Outcome Harvesting (OH) approach, actively engaging tripartite partners to monitor and document the country’s progress. OH, unlike some other monitoring and evaluation methods, emphasizes collecting evidence of achievements and works backward to assess whether and how the project or intervention contributed to the change. This approach not only captures intended outcomes but also uncovers unexpected ones, providing a comprehensive view of the changes achieved.
Facilitated by the ILO officials, approximately 70 tripartite constituents, organized into three working groups representing governments, employers, and workers, actively reviewed and identified the progress, significance, and contributions from interventions of the ILO and the constituents in implementing the three DWCP priorities in Indonesia. Consequently, over 200 achievements were identified and documented.
These outcomes will undergo further examination, with the final results set to be released in May 2025. This final report will offer a comprehensive overview of the achievements during the DWCP period and the lessons learned from the implementation process.
Simrin Singh, the ILO Country Director for Indonesia and Timor-Leste, commended the collaborative efforts displayed during the country review program. “This is the first innovative approach to review DWCP based on evidence with the active involvement of the ILO’s tripartite constituents. We hope that this approach will provide us with a complete picture of our joint efforts to promote decent work for all in Indonesia.”
