The textile and garment industry, with its large clusters in Punjab, is Pakistan's most important branch of the manufacturing industry. Labour inspections are an important regulatory instrument for complying with and improving labour standards. The labour inspection system in Pakistan is both ineffective and inefficient. The module objective of the project is therefore as follows: The prerequisites for a more effective labour inspection system are in place in the province of Punjab. The project works with the labour and human resource department and 2 selected district labour offices (for labour inspections) as well as with selected companies as implementing partners. In the third field, the project supports selected textile and garment companies with organisational development measures in order to link positive changes in the area of labour standards with improvements in productivity.
