With APPI’s support, Cividep launched a relief project for alleviating some of the distress that garment workers have faced due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Workers whose factories had shut down or were employed for only a few days in a month, either as piece-rate workers or regular workers, were allocated cash transfers. We document our approach, the results achieved, and learnings from the period of extreme distress faces by workers.
