SMART Factories Information

The MADE in Myanmar project continues and upscales the successful SMART Factories Programme which has been growing and developing since 2013. As such, SMART continues as one component under MADE, along with a component on supply chain conduct and a component on enhanced support for migrant women workers. When using the SMART name and reputation project teams can more easily gain access to factories, engage with business associations and gain the trust of workers and worker representatives. Nurturing and developing respectful workplace relation is key to enterprise success, and the project teams engage with both management representatives and worker representative to achieve results. In addition to funding by the European Union, the MADE in Myanmar project is co-funded by the private sector.
