Together with local and global partners, IDH is implementing the Living Wage Advocacy Initiative (LIWIN) pilot project in Ecuador and Ghana to establish living wage benchmarks that can be used to improve banana workers’ future wage negotiations and minimum wage setting interventions in the sector.
The project aims to establish living wage benchmarks that can be used for future wage negotiations and minimum wage setting interventions in the banana sector for each country. The engagement of local and global stakeholders helps to ensure that the calculations of the cost of living accurately reflect workers’ local circumstances, as well as to raise awareness on the wage gap and to mobilize stakeholder awareness and understanding of the issue.
