I. NWO Project Wellbeing, Women and Work in Ethiopia: Creating synergies between SDGs 3, 5 and 8 through Foreign Direct Investment (The “3WE” project)

This project, funded by the NWO, analyses how foreign direct investment (FDI) generated employment is affecting the well-being of workers, and women in particular, in Africa where FDI is becoming one of the main sources of new employment opportunities and economic growth on the continent. It does so by studying Ethiopia, one of Africa’s fastest growing economies, with unprecedented rates of female wage labour. The project runs from 2019 until 2023.
