The Fund in Action I: Collective action – Partnering for change

Unsafe and unhealthy working conditions often result from a combination of underlying causes, such as governance gaps, a deficient legislative framework, insufficient knowledge and resources, and unsustainable business practices. One actor alone cannot address all these underlying conditions. All major stakeholders need to work together and assume responsibility (consistent with their respective mandates) to address systemic issues that lie at the root of poor OSH outcomes. That is why the Fund pursues an approach that mobilizes all relevant stakeholders to act collectively to address the underlying root-causes of workplace accidents, injuries, and diseases.
