Positive discussions with President of the Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers @IngridThijssen.
We spoke about challenges and opportunities in supply chains and the platform economy, as well as productivity, and the assistance needed to establish living wages.
Hi guys, wanna dance? Take one step back, then step aside and step up for women economic empowerment. Women can add $15bln to e-commerce in Africa. Let them in. Happy #IWD2023! @etradeforwomen @IFC_org – at Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Useful visit to CCC and cocoa coops in 🇨🇮. Progress with sector-wide traceability -should not add to cost of farming. Women saving schemes help towards living income and diversification, needed to curb child labor and deforestation. Merci @FairtradeNL @100WKS @CAYATcoop @IDHTrade
Good conversation on deepening our partnership for decent work, jobs and income, as part of sustainable trade.
