Rana Plaza Claims Administration is operating under the auspices of the recently formed Rana Plaza Coordination Committee, which is composed of the ILO as the lead agency, and of the government, factory owners, trade unions, buyers, retailers, national and international non-government organisations.The Administration, headed by former UN official Moitaba Kazazi as the executive commissioner, is expected to complete the claims processing and the payment within the next six months, according to a news agency.
