Amman — The spokesperson for the Ministry of Labour, Mr. Mohammad Al-Zyoud, affirmed that the "Better Work" program will continue its operations, as part of the Ministry’s commitment to ensuring a decent, healthy, and safe working environment for workers in Jordan’s garment and apparel industry, particularly in the Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZ).

Al-Zyoud explained that the program, established in 2008 as a partnership between the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Ministry of Labour, and stakeholders in Jordan’s garment sector, aims to improve working conditions in the garment industry, enhance competitiveness, create decent job opportunities, empower women, and contribute to inclusive economic development. He added that the program also strengthens the capacities of the tripartite constituents—government, workers, and employers—to advance the objectives of decent work.
