Subject Ethiopia's garment industry. Significance The garment sector is growing in Ethiopia. The government has invested in six industrial garment parks in collaboration with global garment retail, manufacturing and input supplier companies, along with supporting infrastructure. Educational institutions are also aiming to meet demand, offering degrees in garment engineering and merchandising. Impacts Employment in the garment sector could reach 200,000 jobs by 2018, comprising predominantly rural women workers. Clothing exports will expand significantly in the coming years, boosting export revenue and foreign currency reserves. Eco-friendly production sites will attract investors with environmental concerns, offering a comparative advantage.
