Labor Incidents Tracking Database (LITD)

Announcement Description

The Solidarity Center is the largest U.S.-based international worker rights organization. Its programs are based on the principle that, by exercising their right to freedom of association and forming trade unions and democratic worker rights organizations, working people can collectively improve their workplaces, call on governments to uphold laws and protect human rights, and be a force for democracy, social justice and inclusive economic development. Its programs in more than 60 countries focus on human and worker rights awareness, union skills, occupational safety and health, gender equality, migration and human trafficking and pro-legal strategies, as well as bolster workers in an increasingly informal economy.

Project Background

The Solidarity Center (SC) is undertaking a five-year, USAID-funded program (September 2019-September 2024) entitled “Labor Rights in Cambodia (LRIC)”. The LRIC program is being implemented in collaboration with trade unions and civil society partners, focusing on four key objectives: improved labor rights protections; improved representation of workers interests in targeted sectors/industries; strengthened linkages among labor, business and civil society; and increased effectiveness of labor relations systems.

Scope of work

The SC is looking to engage a software company/team to build the LITD (English language), based on an outline provided by the Solidarity Center. Organizations can contact Solidarity Center for more information including an example diagram. The LITD must be a living database, preferably cloud-based, that can be updated or justified (if any technical errors), and must include a way for the SC to input, organize, track data, export data (via Microsoft Word, CSV, Excel, PDF, etc.). Ideally the database will have the potential to integrate with a global SC database (if any in the future) and other public-facing platforms which may benefit from accessing information about labor incidents. . The organization must also provide a user guide/manual as well as provide training to key staff on the database use.

Project timeframe

The project should commence by March 20, 2023 with the database ready for use no later than July 3, 2023.
