Over 3,600 garment factories in Bangladesh now digitally mapped
Some 3,630 garments (RMG) factories have now been digitally mapped. Under the project Mapped in Bangladesh (MiB), 3,630 export-oriented ready-made garments and their compiled data has been made available on the website of the project.
Funded by the Laudes Foundation and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and being coordinated by BRAC, the MiB project is being implemented by the Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (CED) of Brac University (BracU) where Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) and Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA) are the strategic partners of the project.
The data on the website can be sorted by brands, products, certifications, export countries etc.
According to a recently issued press release, the objective of MiB is to provide accurate, credible, and updated RMG factory information to all industry stakeholders in a manner that enables greater efficiency, productivity, accountability, and transparency.
