Labour rights: More than 71.509 workers, of which 42% women and 32% younger than 35 years old, benefitted from services provided by KSBS and GARTEKS to improve labour standards.

Social Security: 54.683 workers (31% women and 15% younger than 35 years) were supported in improving access to national social security schemes through different services offered by the partners, such as trainings, awareness creation and advocacy.  

Impact from WSM-supported partners:

Better coverage: By 2024, a total of 82.763 formal workers and 15.394 informal workers have gained better access to social security, securing coverage under two to five schemes: death benefits, workplace accident insurance, old age savings, pensions, and unemployment protection.

Better work: By 2024, 367.745 workers (41% women and 29% under 35 years) have better work thanks to the promotion of labour standards, collective bargaining and advocacy.
