The Fibres, Textiles and Clothing (FTC) unit improves the international competitiveness of the fibres, textiles and clothing as well as leather sector in developing countries. Working along the value chain, special emphasis is given on how the sector can improve its competitiveness, while addressing important development aspects such as women’s empowerment, youth employment and contributing to reducing climate change. FTC emphasizes the business case for addressing these overarching challenges while helping companies as well as the T&amp;C sector in selected countries to meet ever increasing market requirements. The unit builds capacity of SMEs to take over additional functions along the value chain at production, pre- and post-production stages. In addition to the work with SMEs directly, the programme supports the institutional ecosystem around the sector to improve support services creating a holistic approach to the sector. As part of this approach, the FTC unit puts special emphasis on south-south cooperation as an effective tool to improve performance, link stakeholders across the value chain and to tap into new markets. After having suffered disproportionally from the disruptions of Covid-19, SMEs in the sector are in the process of restarting their businesses and re-entering markets. At the same time, they are being pushed to show they are producing in a responsible and sustainable way in response to increasing market pressure and mandatory due diligence and eco-design requirements being put in place by markets such as the EU, Switzerland and the United States. The EU Strategy for sustainable &amp; circular textiles and about 16 regulations in the making by the EU will affect the T&amp;C sector, both in Europe and those that would like to sell in Europe. The market will, thus, impose new challenges to developing country textile and clothing manufacturers that need to be addressed. FTC flagship programme is Global Textile and Clothing (GTEX) that enhances the export competitiveness of the T&amp;C in selected countries. Phase II of the GTEX/MENATEX programme helps the four MENA countries of Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia as well as Sri Lanka to stay on top of emerging market requirements for the textiles and clothing (T&amp;C) sector by moving towards greener practices and being able to adhere to strict forthcoming EU regulations for T&amp;C products sold in Europe.
