// Organization: International Labour Organization Country: Ethiopia Closing date: 22 Feb 2019 1. Introduction The International Labor Organization (the ILO) is a U.N. agency committed to bringing together governments, employers and workers of 187 member States, to set labor standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work for all women and men. Since the early 1950s, the ILO has been providing technical cooperation to countries on all continents and at all stages of economic development. Projects are implemented through close cooperation between recipient countries, donors, and the ILO, which maintains a network of country offices worldwide. Background In Ethiopia, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has developed a comprehensive response to a need expressed by the government, employers’ and workers’ organizations to advance decent work and inclusive industrialization in key priority sectors identified in the Second Ethiopian Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP II). This response titled “Advancing Decent Work and Inclusive Industrialization in Ethiopia” is a project intervention that will be implemented focusing on the textile and apparel sector that coincides with Ethiopia’s Industrial Development Strategic Plan (2013 – 2025). In the second phase, the ILO’s support will be expanded further down the supply chain of the textile and apparel sector and will also include additional vital sectors to the Ethiopian economy. As part of this programme, ILO SCORE (Sustainable, Competitive and Responsible Enterprises) . The programme will play major roles in terms of direct factory level support. The SCORE Ethiopia Programme is an ILO Development Cooperation Programme designed to improve overall enterprise productivity and competitiveness by assisting export-oriented and domestic apparel factories with a particular focus on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Its main interventions are the enterprise productivity training and additional SCORE training modules developed to enhance work place cooperation, improve quality, promote cleaner and lean production practices, enhance workforce management skills and improve occupational Safety and Health. These training programmes are all practical and demand driven and include in-factory advisory services prioritized by factories. 2.

In addition, workers and managers should gain a better appreciation of the importance of good communication, teamwork, and workplace organization. The SCORE programme tracks the adoption of different manufacturing and working condition practices through baseline and progress assessments. Enterprise Trainers will be introduced to Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure value added per production worker and labor-hour, inventory turnover, injury rate, on-time delivery rate and material scrap and other productivity related indicators. 3. Methodology The SCORE delivery mechanism involves (a) training and (b) enterprise advisory services. Priority is given to Training of Enterprises (ToE) mainly focusing on productivity improvement. The other SCORE training modules cover topics related to Workplace Cooperation, Quality, Cleaner Production, Workplace and human resource Management and Safety and Health at work and will be provided to factories on demand.

All interventions involve consultation with the ILO SCORE technical team based in Ethiopia and Geneva.

The Enterprise Advises are expected to register factories and undertake preliminary baseline assessments of the participating factories.
