ILO-9853
Garment workers stand in line observing the WHO-recommended social distancing while waiting to get their lunch in one of Ethiopia’s garment factories. The Ethiopian government issued a COVID-19 workplace protocol, and SIRAYE/Better Work Ethiopia supported its implementation in 35 factories by creating COVID-19 factory task forces. In partnership with Bureaus of Labour and Social Affairs (BOLSA) the programme provided training for 86 workers in 14 factories to help prevent the spread of the virus. All these initiatives aimed to set up virus prevention mechanisms, improve hygiene for factory workers — including the procurement of personal protective equipment — and raise awareness about the disease in industrial parks and at the community level.
