AHK Eastern Africa's Role in Ethical Recruitment

Ethical recruitment plays a central role in the international labour market. It ensures that all parties involved, particularly the workers, are treated fairly. The International Labour Organization (ILO) sets global standards for ethical recruitment and calls on member countries to promote fair and transparent recruitment practices. In particular, the ILO emphasizes the protection of workers' rights and the prevention of forced labour and exploitation. The AHK Eastern Africa (Delegation of German Industry and Commerce for Eastern Africa) plays a central role in the ethical recruitment of workers from Kenya to Germany.
