Strengthening research capacity in the trade union movement Evaluation Report
The programme was initiated by ICFTU-AFRO in 1998 as an extension of earlier research programmes carried out by ICFTU. A limited group of countries in Southern and Eastern Africa were chosen, all of them existing co-operating partners of LO-Norway. The objectives have been to increase the knowledge and union capacity inmcollective bargaining as well as policy development on various issues. Due to effects of globalisation and the World Bank and IMFs structural adjustment programmes there are needs for the unions to elaborate new strategies on how to survive and how to protect the workers rights.
