Better Work Vietnam - Development project, originally VIE/09/50/IFC

The Better Work Vietnam project is intended to increase industrial competitiveness in Vietnam by improving working conditions and labor/management relations. The project will initiate collaboration between buyers and suppliers in key labor-intensive sectors that are part of global supply chains and where there is clear market advantage. During the initial project phase of two years, IFC and ILO aim to improve working conditions and the sustainability of jobs for some 150,000 workers in Vietnam’s garment industry. If successful, the project will be replicated across a number of labor-intensive industries in Vietnam as well as in other strategic countries for IFC and ILO; therefore the potential impact of the project is significant on both national and global level.
