About

UNEP is implementing a three year project funded by the European Union (EU): Innovative Business Practices and Economic Models in the Textile Value Chain (InTex project). The project has five components; two components have
global reach and three components focus on national implementation in three countries in Africa where textiles is a key economic sector. These countries have companies, including small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), as part of multinational value chains (e.g., exporting to the European market). Technical intermediaries from three countries (Kenya, South Africa, and Tunisia) are UNEP’s partners implementing the three components that have a national focus.
In Kenya the selected technical intermediary is Moi University. The objectives of the InTex project includes an increase of knowledge in the textile value chain, train stakeholders on sustainability, and provide evidence of environmental and socio economic impacts of the different sustainable economic models in the textile and apparel value chain
