Abstract:

Southern trade unions possess relevant experiences and practices that can inform their counterparts in other countries to address similar challenges. From 2012 to 2016 the Belgian trade union ACV-CSC/IIWE in cooperation with ten Southern trade unions carried out a capacity building programme to unlock this knowledge by facilitating exchanges. An end-of programme evaluation of HIVA-KU Leuven identifies the main characteristics of the strategy as well as good practices of how South-South exchange can induce organisational and policy change
