Better Mill Initiative (BMI) Ethiopia In Ethiopia, the Better Mill Initiative mainly focused on online/remote activities. These included updating partners on the activities as well as creating awareness on Covid-19 by delivering brochures and masks to our staff, beneficiaries and partners. The Better Mill Initiative project trained on health and safety in the 24 factories focusing on health issues, especially awareness creation and prevention mechanisms. The project also carried out leadership training for the Ethiopian Management Institute for management staff of three factories. A training on soft skills targeting 30 women workers was also carried out. In addition, we conducted gender related grievance handling mechanisms for 22 women labour unions leaders from four textile and garment factories. Through our training to workers and factory management, we worked to improve the working conditions for 25,400 workers. The economic and environmental performance improvements are limited due to the effect of the global pandemic. This also counts for trading activities between factories and markets in Europe and the USA. Revival of these markets including other business channels will gradually improve as global travel restrictions during the pandemic ease. There are different organizations working in the same sector, such as, FNV, ILO, GIZ, IDH and SIWI. Most of the organizations have good communication with us and try to minimize duplication effort in the factories. The Dutch Embassy is one of the steering committee members of the project and we update them once every six months.
