BGMEA teams up with upay to disburse stipends

The Bangladesh Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) have signed an agreement with the mobile financial services provider 'upay' to disburse stipends among mid-level readymade garments (RMG) officials and workers, reports UNB.
BGMEA President Faruque Hassan and upay Managing Director and CEO Rezaul Hossain inked the deal in Dhaka Thursday.
Under this agreement, the participants of the BGMEA-SEIP skill development project, an initiative for skill development of mid-level officials and workers of the RMG sector, will receive their stipend directly into their upay accounts.
The BGMEA-SEIP is jointly funded by the government and the Asian Development Bank and is being implemented by the BGMEA.
