| dc.description | In Ethiopia, tanning is an important economic activity. The country is home to the largest population of livestock in Africa and is the 10th largest producer in the world. The livestock sector contributes towards 16.5 per cent of Ethiopia’s GDP and is an important source of income for the rural population.
The objectives of the project are: • To promote the adoption of Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) practices by 32 MSMEs (comprising 16,500 workers) in the leather supply chain and facilitate market entry at domestic & EU level; and • To contribute to an enabling environment in the Ethiopian leather industry supportive of SCP practices and green growth targets set by the Ethiopian government. | en_US |
