Since 2012, ETI has been working with our members and local stakeholders to bring together a critical mass of stakeholders that are committed to a change process for the garment and textile sector. Our three-pronged programme approach was developed through a consultation process, and we are delivering it in collaboration with local stakeholders and is implemented on the ground by a local team with extensive experience of development work in Tamil Nadu. 

ETI’s five year programme aims to catalyse positive change within the industry through activities that empower young women workers, strengthen industrial relations, build community awareness and support legislative reform.
