Made in Ethiopia – Challenges in the garment industries new frontier In recent years, Ethiopia has launched a bold economic and social experiment by inviting the global garment industry to set up shop in the East African country. Drawn by newly built industrial parks and a range of financial incentives, manufacturers from some of the world’s best-known brands – among them, H&M and PVH (Calvin Klein, Izod, Tommy Hilfiger) – employ tens of thousands of Ethiopian workers in a nascent sector the government predicts will one day have billions of dollars in sales. This report provides a close look at the flagship Hawassa Industrial Park, a vast and still only partially filled facility which currently employs 25,000 workers about 140 miles south of the capital of Addis Ababa. It examines the working conditions, including the very low wages, points at violations and workers’ rights violations and formulates recommendations to the Ethiopian government as well as international brands.
