GTEX – more equality in the textile industry
By supporting the Global Textiles and Clothing Programme (GTEX), Switzerland strengthens the export capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the textile and clothing industries in Tunisia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Egypt and Morocco.
For many developing countries, the textile and clothing industries are the key to creating more jobs and income.
The GTEX programme supports its partner companies in establishing good working conditions and complying with both social and environmental standards.
