This thirteenth biannual synthesis report by Better Work Haiti examines working conditions in 26 Haitian apparel factories between September 2015 and August 2016, operating under the HOPE II legislation. The report details compliance assessment findings, advisory services, and training programs provided to these factories. It covers core labor standards such as child labor, discrimination, forced labor, and freedom of association, as well as working conditions related to compensation, contracts, occupational safety and health, and working time. The report also outlines the TAICNAR program's activities, recent developments in the apparel sector, and Better Work's revised service delivery model.
