How and when will SLCP be introduced into Better Work countries?

Once national and ILO constituents have confirmed that Better Work can proceed with roll out in a country, Better Work needs at minimum four months to complete the following steps prior to implementation:

  1. Obtain support from constituents for data sharing with SLCP, and integration of constituent feedback into the shared tool national overlay
  2. On boarding of Better Work teams
  3. Better Work-SLCP joint introduction (via webinars/meetings and written materials) of the tool and process to factories and local brand representatives

Pending any unforeseen objections from constituents, the following 2021 roll-out timetable is expected. Better Work will do its best to meet agreed upon deadlines but will need to be mindful of changing national priorities and context due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

  1. 31 May: Indonesia, Bangladesh
  2. 30 June: Vietnam (to reflect the new labour laws)
  3. Other Better Work countries: Better Work will begin consultation on SLCP in Cambodia and Ethiopia alongside development of national level overlays. The programme will review learnings in July/August from roll out in the first three countries before making a final decision on rollout in new countries.
