There are a large number of benefits to the participating companies like - • Capacity building of participating company - ability to train as many workers as the company wants; • Benefits from the implementation of consulting guidelines in terms of efficiency improvement and cost reduction; • A more efficient workforce as a result of training; • Inclusion of industrial engineering methods in the factory; • Long term cost effectiveness; • Better trained and equipped merchandisers; • Generally the operators trained under this methodology are 20 to 30 percent more efficient than the average sewing operator in Pakistan after a stamina build up of 4 to 6 months.
GEN-PROM is being implemented by way of three inter-related project outputs:
1. To generate employment for women in the garment sector through training and re-training; 2. To build the capacity of the private sector to conduct research and advocate gender mainstreaming in the garment sector, and to promote policy incentivization whereby the industry will be encouraged to promote gender participation; and 3. To record best practices and disseminate the information for up-scaling skills development initiatives in the industry.
Implementing Partners: GEN-PROM is active in Sindh and the Punjab. Its implementing partners are the Pakistan Readymade Garments and Exporters Association (PRGMEA) in Sindh, and the Government College University, Faisalabad, in the Punjab.
