Background
Better Work is an innovative partnership program between the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). It aims to improve labour standards and competitiveness in global supply chains. Better Work involves the development of both global tools and country level programs. The focus is on scalable and sustainable solutions which build cooperation between government, employers’ and workers’ organizations, and international buyers.
Improving labour standards in global supply chains is an important part of a pro-poor development strategy. Ensuring workers’ rights and entitlements are protected helps distribute the benefits of trade. Better Work supports enterprises in implementing the ILO core international labour standards and national labour law. This helps enterprises compete in global markets where many buyers demand compliance with labour standards from their suppliers. Improved labour standards also help enterprises be more competitive through higher productivity and quality. These benefits help build the business case and supplier support for improved labour standards.
In Haiti, Better Work is supported by the USDOL. The program has three components:
1) Enterprise assessments on (a) the principles of the ILO Declaration core international labour standards and Haitian labour law, and (b) quality and productivity;
2) Enterprise advisory and training services designed to support practical improvements; and
3) Stakeholder engagement and sustainability.
