Project Description

The objective of the BTC program is to strengthen the sustainability of the RMG sector through strategic IFC advisory that addresses specific market failures. Proposed interventions will focus on i) specific elements of industry competitiveness, namely: access to better jobs for women and improved productivity; and ii) increased access to remediation finance for factories to strengthen the supply chain.

The program of work proposed in this strategy builds on a long and successful track record of IFC engagement in the sector and with the stakeholders that are needed for the program to succeed. These existing relationships and record of achievement are essential for progressing some of the critical changes that are needed.
