Promotion of workplace cooperation in the readymade garment (RMG) sector in Bangladesh

The envisaged project aims to further the work of the ILO Country Office for Bangladesh (CO-Dhaka)-led projects on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work to ensure and sustain harmonious industrial relations in Bangladesh. The focus will be to work areas of workplace cooperation, building the trust and mutual gains for both workers and employers and that of effective dispute resolutions within the RMG sector. The project will focus exclusively on a set of programmes that will enable the ILO and its constituents to build and test a basis of programmes that in turn will lead to national level interventions on the longer term. The proposal suggests a set of activities with an area based and targeted interventions to ensure results oriented and results managed programme. The goals of the project envisaged hence coincide with the Bangladesh Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) and that of other national priorities to achieve a holistic approach within the RMG Sector.
