About Better Work Haiti
The Better Work country program in Haiti was launched in June 2009 in the framework of a trade agreement between the United States and Haiti (HOPE II law), making the programme mandatory for all apparel producers exporting their products to the US market under this HOPE II legislation. Total export revenues from the textile and garment industry in Haiti account for approximately 90% of national export earnings and 10% of national GDP. The apparel industry is also among the largest employers within Haiti, creating jobs for approximately 55, 000 people. The industry is a powerful magnet for unskilled and semi-skilled workers from the informal sectors. Most workers (70% female) support on average 3-5 family members.
Considering the restrictions linked to the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate of insecurity in the country, the program faces certain challenges in implementing its activities in the field. Through the changing evolution of the world of work, virtual events became the new normal and certainly have great benefits. Live/in-person events is an important asset for effective communication and strengthening partnerships. To overcome certain obstacles, BWH will adopt an hybrid approach of combining the best features of both virtual and on-site meetings with the use of real-time communication technology channels in the organizing of activities, bringing together constituents in one in a hybrid space to ensure you maximizing the experience for everyone.
Better Work Haiti strives for a thriving garment industry that supports national growth, empowers women, and lifts tens of thousands of Haitians and their families out of poverty. In coming years, the Better Work Haiti programme will build on its proven approach in improving working conditions and boosting business competitiveness. Furthermore, scalability and sustainability will be top priorities, emphasizing strengthening national actors' capacity, shaping policies, and forging strategic partnerships.
