ProAgro – Promotion of Decent Work in Agribusiness

ProAgro is an ILO programme designed within the framework of the BMZ’s Special Initiative on training and job creation. This project puts forward an integrated strategy, combining policy support, skills development, value chain development, entrepreneurship training, and access to finance, with the ultimate objective to create decent jobs opportunities for women and young men in the agribusiness sector. ProAgro will be implemented in Ethiopia and Morocco over a period of 36 months, for a total budget of 10 million EUR. The national project components are called ProEthiopia and ProMaroc, and will develop the capacity of national, regional, and local stakeholders to develop and implement policies aimed at boosting the job creation potential of the agribusiness sector. The project will be implemented by two project management teams, with administrative and technical support from the Country offices in Algiers and Addis Ababa, Decent Work Country Team in Cairo, as well as the Employment Policy and Enterprises departments in ILO’s headquarters.
