Lesson-149406-4

Attention to the occupational safety and health needs of the most vulnerable workers. Attention to the most vulnerable workers remains a significant challenge to the project. The project's current focus on large exporting companies restricts its scope, limiting its results and impacts on gender equity and inclusion. This leads to less attention for medium and small producer groups, which often employ the most vulnerable workers. This lesson emphasizes the need to refocus the project to ensure balanced support for different types of producers in the chili pepper and tomato value chains and to implement specific measures addressing the occupational safety and health related needs of the most vulnerable workers.
