Ethical sourcing in practice: Insights from BioInnovation Africa supply chain assessments 

 
 

BioInnovation Africa (BIA), a project commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has supported biodiversity-based, African-European value chains for social-ecological change in partner countries. The project focused on improvement of socio-economic working conditions, biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, and private sector investments. All BIA supported partners, representing a diverse set of biodiversity-based value chains, underwent an assessment. 

This publication summarises the field assessments, observations and gaps found, and the promoted improvements. The document shows how BioTrade Principles can be applied in supply chains, and how the promotion of these practices can lead to meaningful change.
