Living Wage & Living Income Summit
This June, the next Living Wage and Living Income Summit will take place. To make real strides towards living wages and living income in global value chains, IDH, GIZ, and with sponsorship from the UN Global Compact will bring together over 400 key actors from the private and public sector, including producers, buyers, unions and more, to effect change through responsible business practices, policy instruments, and social dialogue. Check out the event webpage to see the full agenda and the first lineup of speakers who will be joining us at the Summit.
As a pre-read to the conference, IDH has published a report called Pursuing Living Wages in Global Supply Chains: Where We Are Today. This report tells the story of global corporate efforts to increase workers’ wages, explains approaches that have increased workers’ bargaining power and calls on sectors to learn and cooperate to ensure sustained wage increases in the long term.
IDH Farmfit
IDH Farmfit is a game changing private-public initiative designed to break the cycle of rural poverty. By providing data, insights and de-risking finance to banks and businesses, IDH Farmfit unlocks investment in smallholder agriculture that are now perceived too risky.
The IDH Farmfit Fund, totalling 100 million EUR, is backed by the Dutch government, multiple companies and a US Treasury guarantee. The FarmFit Insights Hub, along with the underlying Business Analytics, is supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the UK Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), alongside other donors and our valued clients.
