🌿 Promoting Decent Work through Nature-based Solutions (NbS) 🌿 Just concluded a capacity-building workshop in Bishoftu, Ethiopia, from 2 to 6 September 2024, focusing on Nature-based Solutions (NbS). This event brought together key stakeholders from Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda, and Somalia, including government officials, civil society, and international organizations. Delivered by the ITCILO and ILO Employment Policies -intensive Investment Branch (EMPINVEST), in collaboration with the ILO PROSPECTS Programme and the KfW Project on Somalia, the workshop aimed to enhance our partners’ capacity to address climate change, biodiversity loss, and forced displacement while creating sustainable livelihoods and fostering decent work opportunities. The workshop included a hands-on experience sharing session, where participants visited NbS activities being implemented by the Addis Ababa Urban Beautification and Green Development Bureau around #Entoto. All the 38 participants participated in a group design exercise to explore the employment potential of incorporating nature-based solutions into their projects and programmes and developed actionable strategies for promoting decent work in these targeted communities. In his closing remarks, Khumbula Ndaba, the Country Director for ILO Horn of Africa emphasized the critical role of NbS in creating jobs and livelihoods. He urged participants to champion NbS in their respective countries and influence decision-making processes. Stephen OPIO, Evans Lwanga, Asfaw Kidanu, Maikel Lieuw-Kie-Song, Chekole M.
