On 04 November 2011 at 10am at GMAC Office, there was a meeting between CAMFEBA,
GMAC, and ILO IPEC to discuss on the possible ways that GMAC could contribute to support the
activities of CAMFEBA in implementing the CAMFEBA-ILO IPEC Joint Action Program on the
Child Labour Elimination in Cambodia, focused on how to get the information against child
labour be widely disseminated across village in Cambodia through workers employed in the
garment factories that are members of GMAC.
Based on the discussion during the meeting, the agreement was made as below:
1. Setting up a Steering Committee, which there are 7 members:
One representative from CAMFEBA
One representative from ILO
One representative from GMAC
One representative from Trade Union
Three representatives from different factory owners
The purpose of setting up this committee is to:
A. Work together on the appropriate material designed for the workers
(sticker/leaflet)
B. Discuss on the training material (what should be included) for the Champions,
selected from the factories of GMAC members.
2. GMAC will help to identify and select the Key Personnel/Champion (the person who
could disseminate information or the material such as leaflet or sticker on the child labour
elimination to the workers effectively) from the factories of their members or their trade
union representative.
For setting up the Cambodian Business Alliance against Child Labour (CBaaC) to keep them
informed of the works done by the Cambodian Employers to combat child labour issue and also to
mobilize resource/fund to support the activities of the project to ensure the continuation of the
action against child labour within and beyond the project, GMAC was willing to be a member, but
not taking the lead of this coalition. However, for setting up the list of buyers of GMAC to keep

also to mobilize fund to support the activities of the project, GMAC would be happy to give it to
the project team once it was done, since now such list, GMAC had not of hand, but they planned
to develop one for their own as well.
