Better Cotton
Application Deadline: 16 July 2025
Desired Start Date: 4 August 2025
Budget: 14,000 – 20,000 Euros
Background:
Better Cotton is the world’s largest cotton sustainability programme. Our mission: to help cotton communities survive and thrive, while protecting and restoring the environment. In difficult times, we are meeting the challenge head on. Through our network of field-level partners we have provided training on more sustainable farming practices to more than 2.9 million cotton farmers in 26 countries.
More than a fifth of the world’s cotton is now grown under the Better Cotton Standard and our membership network includes more than 2,400 members.
More information about Better Cotton can be found on our website: www.bettercotton.org.
Brief outline of Project:
Better Cotton’s work in Pakistan is implemented through Programme Partners based in-country. We
work with programme partners who deliver training and information on Better Cotton’s Principles and
Criteria. Partners have field facilitators that directly work with farmers. Better Cotton categorises its
farms into three sizes: Large (above 200 hectares), medium (20-200 ha) and small (below 20ha).
To establish a robust baseline, Better Cotton seeks data on the current status of a set of key
indicators across three groups of stakeholder groups: farmers, workers, and field facilitators
(including women field trainers and members of Gender and/or Decent Work Committees set up by the PU).
