Better Work Bangladesh - Phase II

Better Work, a partnership between the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group (WBG), has proven that it is possible to simultaneously improve working conditions and boost competitiveness in the global apparel industry. Building on its extensive experience and understanding of what drives change in supply chains, the programme now seeks to significantly scale its impact. Better Work’s vision is of a global garment industry that lifts millions of people out of poverty by providing decent work, empowering women, driving business competitiveness and promoting inclusive economic growth. During its next phase, Better Work will leverage existing and new partnerships to expand its impact from 3 to 8 million workers and to 21 million family members. In addition, ILO and WBG will support garment producing countries to strengthen the policy and enabling environment for decent work and competitiveness to drive positive outcomes on a much larger scale.
