Going Beyond Research: Reimagining communication systems in the garment manufacturing industry.
Online
About the Event
This webinar will be anchored on a discussion to understand how M&E can be used to make a tangible impact. We hope to present road-maps on feasible ways to scale-up research to inspire real-world action within any labor-intensive industries particularly garment manufacturing firms. Our past evaluations suggest that the domain of worker well-being that presents many limitations across (in particular garment) manufacturing industries is lack of communication and grievance redressal platforms for workers. We are developing homegrown tools - Inache, that provides a solution to businesses to address these limitations. This tool, backed by rigorous academic research, is a tangible solution for businesses to implement to achieve both worker well-being and business outcomes.
We anticipate participation from business leaders, CSR professionals, development practitioners, and the general public. Through our discussion, we hope to offer a platform to share collective learnings and insights on how organizations can move beyond M&E to create more scalable solutions to achieve impact.
