Better Work Bangladesh - Phase II (Australia)

By June 2019, Better Work Bangladesh (BWB) aims to work in 450 factories, employing approximately 400,000 workers, out of which 80% are female. BWB expects to meet the following objectives: 1. Roll out of BW’s newly revised factory services to target factories. The focus will be on ensuring high level of factory participation and strong quality of management of services. 2. In collaboration with ILO’s wider RMG sector programme, maximise BWB’s long term impact on the effectiveness of national institutions to promote compliance in factories where the programme does not operate, for example, supporting the training of labour inspectors and ensuring synergies in implementation. 3. Develop a strategy to increase the long term viability of the programme with the focus on building capacity and leadership of national staff and improving the cost recovery from the programme through private sector revenues.
