Background
Better Work is a unique partnership between the UN’s International Labour Organization (ILO) and the
World Bank Group’s International Finance Corporation (IFC). Launched in February 2007, the
programme aims to improve compliance with labour standards and competitiveness in global supply
chains. Better Work involves the development of both global tools and country level projects. The focus
is on developing scalable and sustainable solutions, which build cooperation between government,
employer and worker organizations, and international buyers.
Improving compliance with labour standards in global supply chains is an important part of a pro-poor
development strategy. Ensuring workers’ rights and entitlements are protected helps to 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 standard compliance
also helps enterprises be more competitive through higher productivity and quality. These benefits help
build the business case and supplier support for improved labour standard compliance.
In 2011 the Better Work Indonesia country program became operational with a view to making its
services available to enterprises in the garments and footwear sector of Indonesia. It currently works
with over 150 enterprises.
By beginning of 2017, Better Work Indonesia (BWI) will establish an independently operating foundation
and the delivery of core services will be implemented by this Foundation with quality oversight provided
by Better Work staff in the ILO Jakarta office and at the global level.
