How is garment and horticultural trade changing in sub-Saharan Africa? How important are domestic and regional value chains supplying retailers within Africa? Are product and social standards changing? How will these changes impact suppliers and workers? What are the implications for government policies and company and trade union strategies? This lecture reports on findings from the Shifting South research project, which investigated these issues in South Africa, Estwatini, Lesotho and Kenya. More information is available on: https://www.gdi.manchester.ac.uk/research/groups/gpn-trade-labour/shifting-south/.

This lecture will be hybrid. You can attend online or in person (Hum Bridge St_G7).
