What is the future of the programme now that the MFA (Multi-Fibre Arrangement) has ended?
There continues to be a high level of interest by international buyers to remain in Cambodia. The ILO, the Government of Cambodia and donors are committed to supporting the programme, as well as enhancing the capacity of employers and workers to resolve workplace issues and comply with national legislation and international standards. Better Factories Cambodia aims to have lasting impacts. Most of the programmes staff are Cambodian nationals and are continually enhancing their skills and performance. The project will be self-supporting by 1 January 2009. This will require an on-going commitment by the Government, employers and unions as well as buyers and consumers to ensure that Cambodia can build on its successes. See our sustainability strategy.
