ILO-7006
A combination of external factors hindered the progress of Better Work Ethiopia in 2020. Two registered factories located in the Tigray region have ceased their operations due to the political instability in the region. Furthermore, the government-imposed restrictions and a drop in demand forced many registered factories to reduce their capacity or stop operations altogether. According to a Better Work Ethiopia survey, capacity utilization rates in 22 target factories were 52 percent in the first quarter of 2020 compared to 75 percent in the same quarter of the previous year.
