Advancing Decent Work and Inclusive Industrialization in Ethiopia

The International Labour Organization (ILO) has developed a comprehensive response to a need expressed by the Ethiopian
government, employers’ and workers’ organizations to advance decent work and inclusive industrialization in key priority sectors
identified in the Second Ethiopian Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II). This response titled “Advancing Decent Work and
Inclusive Industrialization in Ethiopia” is a project intervention that will be implemented in two five year phases (2018 – 2022:
first phase; 2023 – 2027: second phase). The first phase will focus on the textile and apparel sector that coincides with Ethiopia’s
Industrial Development Strategic Plan (2013 – 2025). In the second phase, the ILO’s support will be expanded further down the
supply chain of the textile and apparel sector and will also include additional vital sectors to the Ethiopian economy.
