Social Protection Package for the Retrenched Workers’ (SPPRW) Project is a safety net programme of BRAC designed to offer a number of social protection packages to the distressed and frustrated retrenched workers of the state owned enterprises. The redundancy of these workers is an outcome of the privatization policy. As the workers are very poor, this sudden attempt has posed a great uncertainty to the lives of these workers and their family members. The programme strives to bring an upturn in the livelihood of the nationalized industry workers through measures like dissemination of job opportunity related information, counseling, skill development, credit facility, education stipend and medical support. A total of 60,000 (approx.) retrenched workers shall be benefited by the activities of the project over five years
