The United States Department of Labor is awarding a $5 million cooperative agreement with the multinational Atlanta-based nonprofit CARE for a project designed to reduce child labor and improve gender equality in the Ethiopian coffee sector.
Specifically, the grant is part of the 50-month She Thrives project funded by the U.S. Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), which is focused on work to strengthen the coffee sector in Ethiopia through a gender-focused approach.
ILAB says the project will provide direct services to 10,300 people in 10 districts within the geographic regions of Gedeo and Oromia, where the majority of Ethiopian coffee is produced.
