Central Chairman From: Anwar, Muhammad [mailto:anwar@ilo.org] Dear Sir/Madam,
Better Work is
a collaboration between the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the
International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group. It brings
together all levels of the garment industry to improve working conditions and
boost the competitiveness of apparel businesses. As you may know, Better Work
is currently exploring the possibility of a potential program in Pakistan as
per the request of constituents in Pakistan. The programme design phase is
pivotal for creating synergies, complementarities and resource mobilization to
maximize the potential of the opportunities presented. To achieve this, it is
important that all tripartite stakeholders relevant to the sector are apprised
on the contours of the BetterWork programme, their respective roles should such
a programme come to Pakistan, and the benefits and outcomes of the Better Work
programme for its partners. In this regard, the ILO together with its
constituents; Government of Pakistan, Employers Federation of Pakistan and Pakistan
Workers Federation is organizing an orientation workshop on Better Work in
Karachi, as per the following schedule:
Date: April
1: Orientation Workshop for Industry Representatives (1000-1300), concludes at
lunch Date: April
2: Tripartite meeting (1400-1630) ends with tea Venue
details: Movenpick Hotel Karachi
