The research was conducted through phone survey since the project collected contact information of factory management as a part of main data points during MiB’s census. According to the findings, 1686 factories who responded to the survey, 1080 factories were operational during the survey period (2-7 May 2020) among which only 14% of the factories said that they were producing PPEs and/or face masks along with their regular products while 86% operational factories were engaged in producing regular products. The survey also revealed that majority of the factories (801) in all districts were running with or below 60% of their capacity. 2021-10-31T09:02:48Z 2021-10-31T09:02:48Z 2020-07-01 Research Brief http://hdl.handle.net/10361/15580 en https://mappedinbangladesh.org/ Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (CED), Brac University application/pdf 2526 export-oriented garments factories from Dhaka, Gazipur, and Narayanganj Mapped in Bangladesh (MiB) Project, Centre for Entrepreneurship Development (CED), Brac University
