The project will lead to the development and promotion of new practice and policy solutions that address fair wages, pensions and other benefits, equal rights at work, and measures to improve and sustain government investment in the sector. Promising approaches and demonstration models will be piloted through partner agencies and will be shared with government policy makers, funders, and sector leaders to promote their uptake.
