Positive action : reducing poverty through social dialogue: a training manual for trade unions

Trade unions are increasingly being called upon to participate in the process of the development of poverty reduction strategy papers (PRSPs) in their respective countries. This is an encouraging development. This manual is based on experiences shared during the development of PRSPs in Cambodia and Viet Nam during the period of 2002-2004. The experiences, particularly in Cambodia, showed the union movement was able to prepare itself, and participate in the process successfully to some degree. This manual is to be used in conjunction with the PRSP guidebook.$2ilot
