No Comments on Taking Stock: Decent Work Opportunities for Women and Men in the Informal Economy

GLI is pleased to announce that our new Workshop Report on Organising Street Vendors in Liberia is now available to view and download.

This workshop was organised and facilitated by Women In Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO) with two closely related aims:

to strengthen the organising capacity of the National Petty Union of Liberia (NAPETUL)
to explore the potential for a longer-term partnership between NAPETUL, the Liberian Labour Congress (LLC), Ghana TUC and StreetNet International.

This is the report of that workshop, held in Monrovia in May 2011.

This research and training was commissioned by Realizing Rights/Rockefeller Foundation as part of the project Taking Stock: Decent Work Opportunities for Women and Men in the Informal Economy.
