The Project Objective of Research, Innovation, and Strategic Engagement (RISE) Project to Promote Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining Globally Is to Strengthen Policies and Improve Capacity of Governments, Employers and Workers Organizations and Other Relevant Entities to Respect, Promote, and Realize Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining (facb). a Key Strategy in Support of This Objective Is to Continuously Build and Promote the Application of the Critical Knowledge Needed to Inform Policy Choices, to Strengthen Implementation of, and to Apply Innovative Approaches to Comprehensively Address Challenges and Obstacles to, Facb in Target Countries, Regions and Sectors, and to Communicate Effectively, Telling the Story of Impact and Outcomes. Throughout the Project, Particular Emphasis Is Placed on the Need to Remove Barriers for Marginalized and Underserved Workers.in Support of This Objective, the Project Will Seek to Achieve Three Complementary and Mutually Reinforcing OUTCOMES:1. Improved Knowledge Base on Freedom of Association, Collective Bargaining, and Industrial RELATIONS2. Improved Capacity of Governments, Employers and Their Organizations, and Worker Organizations to Effectively Realize Freedom of Association and Collective BARGAINING.3. Global, National and Sector-level Stakeholders Learn About and Promote Innovative Approaches and Take Action for the Realization of Facbthe Three Outcomes Are Mutually Reinforcing and Will Be Delivered in Parallel From the Onset. This Means That While Work to Achieve Outcome 1 Will Be Initiated With Activities Further Described Below, Strategic Engagement and Country-level Support to Address Comments From the Ilo Supervisory Bodies in Contribution to Outcome 2 Will Start to Be Implemented Once Countries Are Identified, Increasingly Drawing on Knowledge Hub Resources as Data and Research Results Become Available and Are Being Added to the Hub. Likewise, Work Towards Outcome 3 Is Planned to Be Initiated Early in the Project Lifespan, to Develop and Implement a Global Campaign to Promote Facb and Explore, Identify and Test Innovative Approaches to Strengthen the Realization of Facb - Drawing on and Contributing Lessons Learned to the Knowledge Hub. Effective Innovative Approaches Identified and Tested in Contribution to Outcome 3 Are Also Expected to Feed Into the Country-level Work to Achieve Outcome 2.
