Evaluering
Project Cooperation between LO and CUT-Colombia
LO has cooperated in project work with CUT-Colombia since 2001. Since 2003 the cooperation has been a joint project with the union movements in Sweden, Finland and The Netherlands. LO-Norway coordinates the project for the donor organisations. Project work has involved: • A democratic process whereby more than 700 member organisations will form national sectoral unions. • An improvement in the image of the union movement in the Colombian population. • Educating labour leaders in union work. • Integration of gender equality and youth in union work. In addition, LO has exerted international political pressure for respect for labour rights on the part of the government and employers. The purpose of the evaluation was to identify the principle developments and results of the project as well as difficulties which presented themselves. In addition, the evaluation was to contain recommendations for necessary adjustments in phase two of the project.
