Germany to help Bangladeshi garment industry

Germany will continue helping Bangladesh develop its garment sector. Bangladesh wants German cooperation in the field of solar power. It wants help in setting up coal-based power plants. Germany will put emphasis on expanding cooperation in the energy and leather sectors.

Bangladesh has teamed up with the International Labor Organization (ILO) and Germany to develop an Employment Injury Insurance scheme. This will initially be meant for the readymade garment industry. It may then be extended to other industrial sectors. Legislative issues will be addressed and national institutional capacities will be improved.

ILO actively promotes policies and provides assistance to countries to help extend adequate levels of social protection to all members of society. The need for setting up a mechanism to deliver compensation in the aftermath of the Rana Plaza tragedy highlighted the need for an Employment Injury Insurance scheme. Workers will receive payment in case of injury, while employers will benefit from low-cost and no-fault accident compensation insurance for workers.

This scheme is expected to benefit the lives of millions of workers, support businesses and enhance the reputation of Bangladesh’s industry worldwide.
