On 10 February 2022, the Bangladesh Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), German international cooperation enterprise (GIZ), and the Particip GmbH (Particip) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to improve relations between factory management and workers in Bangladesh.
BEF published a study on possible scenarios, impact of COVID-19 and the consequences on the Bangladeshi labour market and economy.
BEF also produced an “Aide-Mémoire” to serve as a checklist for employers, managers, supervisors and workers when the factories reopen post COVID-19.
On the basis of the study and the consequences on the Bangladeshi labour market and economy, BEF advocated for realistic assessment in support of enterprises and business to allow them to create jobs.
