COLOMBO – The International Labour Organization (ILO) has partnered with the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Better Work programme to support Sri Lanka’s apparel sector.
The intervention will focus on helping factories recover from the effects of the pandemic, with onus on strengthening management systems, offering leadership skills training and improving financial literacy among SMEs (small- and medium enterprises).
“With Better Work’s extensive experience, tools, and partnerships, I am convinced the programme will succeed in exemplifying what a human-centred recovery means, with greater industry competitiveness and decent work for all,” said Simrin Singh, ILO’s director for Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
