Subject: Invitation for Orientation Workshop on BetterWork Programme

 

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

 

 

We are happy to also share a list of reference material that will help you prepare for the workshop and participate actively.
