BGMEA supports Simon Project

The Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) has announced its support for the Simon Project, a multi-stakeholder initiative led by the Simon Institute based in London, UK.
The Simon Project, jointly funded by Associated British Foods and the German Development Cooperation Agency (GIZ), aims to obtain recurrent data to calculate the ratio of non-fatal accidents in Bangladesh.
The launching of the Simon Project was held at BGMEA Complex in Dhaka recently in the presence of Faruque Hassan, President of BGMEA, and Javier Chercoles PhD, Director of Simon Institute, BGMEA said on Saturday.
The Simon Project will implement an innovation site at BGMEA headquarters in Dhaka and IT tools in 9 BGMEA medical centres. This collaborative effort will engage both international and local forensic teams, including the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) and Dhaka Medical College respectively to train paramedics and doctors to collect critical health incidence data for minor injuries, health issues and Covid incidence.
