Kurzbeschreibung:
This report is an output of the ‘Putting Water Stewardship to Work Programme‘ which aims to embed responsible water use at the heart of the growing textiles and apparel sectors in Africa. With support from the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation (SDC), the initiative targets technical support to ‘sherpa’ countries in the fashion value chain to establish the value of improved water stewardship for the sector, for delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals and for shared water security (see boxed definitions). Lessons will be shared across Africa, and across the global fashion sector to support the transition to sustainable resource use. Our study explores the importance of the textile and apparel sector for economic and social development in Africa and identifies the priority water challenges facing the industry. It complements related studies on the cotton sector, at a national scale in Ethiopia, and in the textiles and apparel sector globally.
