Ethiopia leather sector targeted in new ILO initiative

30/03/2026

The International Labour Organization (ILO), supported by the Government of Japan, has launched a one-year initiative to support a more sustainable and resilient leather, textile and garment sector in Ethiopia.

Implemented under the ONE ILO Siraye Program, the project will work with 40 factories across key industrial hubs to improve resource efficiency, reduce waste and energy use, and strengthen occupational safety and health through digital monitoring tools.

The initiative also includes a Women’s Leadership Development Program and will support policy dialogue to align sector development with climate targets. It runs from March 15, 2026, to March 14, 2027.
