The programme draws on both organizations' respective strengths in labour standards and private sector development.Its objective is to improve working conditions and support inclusive economic growth, primarily in the garment sector. It engages a broad range of stakeholders including factory managers and workers; governments and employers' and workers' organizations; development partners; and buyers. Better Work is an ILO flagship programme currently operating in 13 countries.It primarily promotes factory-level engagement, including through assessments of compliance with national labour laws and subsequent advice and training to support improvements. Better Work shares its factory approaches and evidence with constituents and industry stakeholders to identify and address decent work deficits, promote fundamental principles and rights at work and scale up good practices beyond its direct footprint.The Better Work Phase V Strategy (2022-27) 5 builds on the programme's proven models of local and national impact and strong partnerships across the supply chain. The strategy emphasizes the importance of addressing fundamental challenges that constrain sustainable change. It has four strategic goals:
- Employers, workers and their representatives uphold and are protected by national labour laws and fundamental principles and rights at work, and enterprises are more sustainable, resilient and inclusive.
- Better Work's impact is sustained by national institutions that leverage its approaches, data and evidence.
- Participating enterprises adopt policies and practices on responsible business conduct that support the realization of decent work.
- Better Work's learnings and methods create positive social and environmental impacts in other countries and sectors.
- Developing tools and training materials for BW enterprise advisors in order to strengthen social dialogue, grievance mechanisms and freedom of association in garment factories across various countries.
- Ensuring considerations of gender and inclusion are mainstreamed throughout all BW materials, trainings and interventions globally and in country programmes.
- Developing indicators and monitoring impact of programme interventions, specifically on improved industrial relations and gender equality and inclusion
