A silk thread of hope: Changing women's lives in Ethiopia through green jobs

Описание: On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Biodiversity and Forestry Programme brings together state institutions, private actors and communities around selected protected areas to cooperate in restoration and local economic development activities. The project also strengthens the capacities of the institutions responsible for protected area and forest management across the local, regional and federal level.

Around Nech Sar National Park in southern Ethiopia, the project supported women to form a silk production cooperative which not only releases them from having to extract resources from inside the park to make a living but also provides them with a sustainable income. Linked to the rising textile sector in Ethiopia, this eco-friendly activity not only benefits the women but also the nature surrounding them.
