Shifting South: Regional garment value chains and decent work in Southern Africa

Global Development Institute podcast

In the first of our Shifting South series, Stephanie Barrientos talks to Khalid Nadvi and Shane Godfrey. They reflect on the project and their research into regional garment value chains, and decent work in Southern Africa.
Shifting South investigated:

• the rise of South-South trade through regional and domestic markets
• what this means for decent work – especially women in precarious jobs
• and looked at specific commodities and value chains in the horticulture and garment sectors in South Africa, Lesotho and Kenya.
