Criteria 3.3: Criteria 3.3: Local development needs, as defined by producers and their local communities in the cultivation or collection areas, are supported.
3.3.2 When labour is hired for cultivation or wild collection activities, priority is given, to the extent possible, to workers from communities in cultivation or wild collection areas.
|
The activity must support the local community whenever possible:
priority should be given to local workers when skills are similar to the those of workers coming from areas further away
job opportunities in regions with low employment opportunities should be encouraged
if marginalised groups or under-privileged communities are living nearby, job opportunities should be encouraged for these community members
If the OaS is not working with external producers, this indicator applies to workers and their communities.

DOCUMENTATION
list of producers/collectors/workers with basic information, including address
policies referring to local employment
INTERVIEWS
with OaS:
about local employment policies
about permanent and seasonal producers/collectors/workers’ localities
about per cent of local people among whole workforce
about evolution of local workforce through the years
about marginalised groups from neighbouring communities and their employment
with producers:
about their community's location
about workforce availability in the sourcing areas' surroundings
about groups that could suffer discrimination in the local communities
Scoring guidance
0 - When local labour is hired for sourcing activities, priority is not given to people from communities in the vicinity of cultivation/collection sites.
1 - Some producers/collectors/workers are from communities in the vicinity of cultivation/collection areas, but there is no specific effort to prefer them (e.g. people from further away are preferred when better skilled without attempt to train people in the vicinity and/or they are higher in number overall of the total employed)
2 - Most producers/collectors/workers are from communities in the vicinity, and there is a specific effort to prefer them (e.g. trainings are provided to improve skills and better suit them to tasks and/or they are higher in number overall of the total employed)
3 - Local labour from communities in the vicinity of cultivation or collection sites is always favoured (e.g. all those employed are from those communities and/or there is a specific effort – e.g. training to develop needed skills – to hire them over others). Marginalised groups/under privileged communities are prioritised whenever possible
