Mid-term Evaluation of Better Work Global – Phase IV

Better Work (BW), a partnership between the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), aims at improving working conditions and boosting competitiveness in the global garment industry. Better Work’s vision is 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. BW has two main areas of intervention: 1. Intervention area 1 focuses on influencing business practices in the global garment supply chain; 2. Intervention area 2 focuses on strengthening the enabling environment for decent work. Better Work consists of a Better Work Global Programme (BW Global) and Better Work country programmes.

The BW Global team, based in Geneva and Bangkok, acts as secretariat to the country programmes and is responsible for several global functions, including quality assurance and technical support for the delivery of factory services, training and capacity building, country expansion, research, development of key strategic partnerships, global stakeholder engagement and policy dialogue.
