ILO-9952
A member of the management of one of Ethiopia’s garment factories stands in her office where clothing samples are displayed. As Better Work Ethiopia adapted its advisory and training services to a virtual delivery mode during the pandemic, it faced the challenge of recurring technology and connection issues, which hindered the full participation of factory and worker representatives in bipartite committee meetings. The programme delivered 61 training sessions virtually over the year, but worker attendance levels were low. Due to a lack of online infrastructure at the factory level, employees gathered in small groups to participate in training while respecting social distancing rules.
