1. Background Information The Philippines And Indonesia Are Two Of The Biggest Users Of The Us Generalised System Of Preference (gsp) Along With Thailand, Brazil, And Turkey. The Philippines Was The United States' 28th Largest Supplier Of Goods Imports In 2019, With Agricultural Products Comprising A Total Of $924 Million Out Of The Country’s $12.8 Billion Total Imports To The Us[1]. The Volume Of Goods Imports From The Philippines To The Us Has Also Increased By 88.1% From 2009 To 2019[2]. Indonesia On The Other Hand Is The Us’ 22nd Largest Supplier Of Goods Imports In 2019, With Agriculture Imports Reaching $3.0 Billion Out Of Its $ 20.1 Billion Total Goods Trade In 2019[3]. Indonesian Goods Exports To The Us Has Increased By 55% From 2009 To 2019 [4]. The Increase In Imports From Both The Philippines And Indonesia To The Us In Recent Years Can Be Attributed To Their Respective Trade And Investment Framework Agreements (tifa) And Their Availment Of Benefits Under The Us’ Generalised System Of Preferences (gsp). As Of 2019, Both Countries Are Two Of The Largest Users Of The Us Gsp Along With Thailand, Brazil, And Turkey. The Rural Sectors Of Agriculture, Fishing And Mining Combined, Belong To The List Of Top Products The Philippines And Indonesia Export To The Us Under The Us Gsp, Thus Contributing To The Employment Of Millions Of Men And Women Workers In The Rural Communities. However, Despite The Significance Of The Agriculture, Fishing, And Mining Industries To The Us’ Trade Relations With Philippines And Indonesia, These Sectors Are Characterized By Poverty And Poor Working Conditions, Especially At The Lower Tiers Of The Supply Chain In Rural Areas. Working Conditions In These Sectors Are Characterized With Widespread Informality, Use Of Ambiguous Employment Relationships, Low Wages And Other Issues Related To Payment Of Wages, Long Working Hours, Unsafe And Hazardous Working Conditions. Women Workers In These Sectors Are At A Further Disadvantage, As Their Work Is Usually Undervalued Or Perceived As Merely Assisting Their Husbands Or Male Family Members. These Conditions Contribute In Increasing The Risk Of More Serious  Labour Standards’ Violations Including Forced And Child Labour In These Sectors. Furthermore, Despite Their Economic Contribution, Agriculture And Fishing Have The Highest Poverty Rates. Psa Poverty Estimates For 2018 Showed That Farmers (31.6% Or 2.4 Million), Fisher Folk (26.2% Or 300,000) And Individuals (24.5% Or 12.6 Million) Residing In Rural Areas Experience Higher Poverty Rates Compared To Other Basic Sectors. In The Philippines, Agriculture, Fishing And Mining Provide Livelihood For More Than 9 Million Filipino Workers, Or 24.3% Of The Total Employed Population. Most Recent Data From The Philippine Statistics Authority (psa), Show That Women Comprise 22% Of Those Employed In These Sectors.  The Same Survey Showed That Among Individuals Living In Rural Areas, Women Were Among Those Who Reported The Highest Poverty Rates At 16.6% Or The Equivalent To 8.7 Million Women. Data From The Psa Also Show That In Agriculture, Generally, Male Farm Workers Received Higher Overall Pay Compared To Female Farm Workers. Male Farm Workers On Average Received Php 335.00 Per Day (us$6.7), Compared With Php 304.60 Per Day (us$6.09) For Female Farm Workers. This Puts Women Workers In These Sectors At A Further Disadvantage, As Their Work Is Usually Undervalued Or Perceived As Merely Assisting Their Husbands Or Male Family Members. Though The Rural Sectors Of Agriculture, Fishing And Mining Are Male Dominated, Women Play A Critical Role In The Supply And Value Chain Of These Sectors. In Agriculture, They Participate In Harvesting, Processing, And Packing, Record Keeping And Marketing Of Agricultural Produce. In The Fishing And Seafood Industry, They Are Heavily Involved In Processing, Coding And Sorting, Washing, Scaling, Filleting, Steaming, Packaging, Recording, Quality Assurance And Inspection. In Mining, Women Are Involved In Mineral Processing Ranging From Crushing, Grinding, Washing And Panning, To Amalgamation And Amalgam Decomposition In The Case Of Gold And Waste Disposal. Furthermore, Addressing Decent Work Deficits In These Rural Sectors Are Also Key To Preventing And Sustainably Tackling Even More Serious Violations Such As Child And Forced Labour. It Should Be Noted That Most Of The Goods From Indonesia And The Philippines Which The Us Has Identified As Produced With Child Labour Or Forced Labour Belong To The Agriculture, Fishing And Mining Industries (palm, Rubber, Tobacco, Tin And Gold And Fish For Indonesia And For The Philippines This Includes Banana, Coconuts, Sugar, Rice, Rubber Tobacco, Gold, Fish And Hogs)[5]. If Reforms Are Not Taken To Address Poor Working Conditions In These Rural Sectors, These Could Pose Challenges To These Industries’ Market Access To The Us, Based On Their Trade And Investment Framework Agreement (tifa) Provisions On Respect For Workers’ Welfare And Rights[6]. This Could Also Pose As A Challenge To The Us Gsp’s Labour Provisions[7] Where The Beneficiary Country Must “ Have Taken Or Is Taking Steps To Afford Internationally Recognized Worker Rights, Including 1) The Right Of Association, 2) The Right To Organize And Bargain Collectively, 3) A Prohibition On The Use Of Any Form Of Forced Or Compulsory Labor, 4) A Minimum Age For The Employment Of Children, And Prohibition On The Worst Forms Of Child Labor, And 5) Acceptable Conditions Of Work With Respect To Minimum Wages, Hours Of Work And Occupational Safety And Health”. Gaps In The Capacity Of The Philippines And Indonesia To Ensure An Enabling Environment That Would Address These Decent Work Deficits In The Rural Sectors, Could Also Further Exacerbate Poverty Among The Millions Of Workers In The Supply And Value Chain Of These Industries. However, Implementing Effective And Sustainable Reforms To Address Poor Working Conditions In The Agriculture, Fishing And Mining Sectors Require Understanding Of The Legal, Political, Economic And Social Context Of These Sectors And The Challenges These Pose To Tripartite Partners In Both Countries. To Help Partners Address These The Systemic Issues On Decent Work Deficits In These Sectors,  The Ilo Is Currently Implementing A Four Year Project On Improving Workers’ Rights In The Rural Sectors Of The Indo Pacific With A Focus On Women. 2. Of The Project The International Labour Organization (ilo) Is Implementing The Project On Improving Workers Rights In The Rural Sectors Of The Indo – Pacific With A Focus On Women, Which Aims To Contribute To Ensuring And Sustaining Improved Working Conditions, Especially For Women Workers, Through The Improvement And Promotion Of Labor Laws Compliance In The Rural Sectors In The Philippines And Indonesia. The Project Seeks To Improve The Capacity Of Government, Employers’ And Workers’ Organisations’ In The Promotion Of Compliance With  labor Laws, Occupational Safety And Health (osh) And Mainstream Gender Equality. It Will Work At Various Levels (at The National, Sectoral/ Industry, Workplace, Supply Chain/ Value Chain And Community Levels), Taking On Approaches Aimed At Systematically Addressing Decent Work Deficits In Target Subsectors. The Project Will Also Leverage On Existing Policies, Commitments And Priorities Of Tripartite Partners, Including Alignment Of Law And Practice With Ratified Ilo Conventions And Compliance With Labour Provisions Of Trade Agreements To Support Greater Market Access. The Project Has Two Main Long-term Outcomes, Which Focus On Governance And Industry Engagement.  Gender Equality Is Mainstreamed In Project Outcomes, Outputs And Indicators: Long – Term Outcome 1: National Frameworks For Compliance To Labour Laws, Gender Equality And Occupational Safety And Health (osh)in Rural Sectors Are Enhanced Long – Term Outcome 2: Enhanced Enabling Environment For The Promotion And Compliance On Labour Laws, Gender Equality And Occupational Safety And Health (osh) In Rural Sectors In Pilot Enterprises And Communities Under Each Long-term Outcome Are The Following Medium And Short Term Outcomes: Medium Term Outcome 1.1: National And Regional Tripartite Mechanisms Of Industry Tripartite Partners In (1) Mainstreaming Gender And Sector Specific Labour Issues In Industry Tripartite Councils And (2) Occupational Safety And Health In Line With Ilo Convention No 187 Are Enhanced Short Term Outcome  1.1.1 Enhanced And Improved Gender-responsiveness Of National And Regional Level Tripartite Systems For Developing And Promoting Labour Laws In Target Sectors Short Term Outcome 1.1.2 Promotional Framework Of Industry Tripartite Partners For Safety And Health At Work Is Developed In The Target Sectors Short Term Outcome 1.2.1 Inspection Policy And Processes On Sector-specific Labour Laws, Osh, And Gender Issues Are Improved   Medium Term Outcome 1.2:enhanced And Improved Gender-responsiveness In Government’s Monitoring, Enforcement And Remediation On Labour And Osh Short Term Outcome  2.1.1 Improved Capacity Of Employers’ And Workers’ Organizations To Promote Compliance To Gender, Labour Laws, And Osh In The Supply Chain Of Target Sectors Short Term Outcome 2.1.2.
