Ivanka Trump in Ethiopia to ’promote women’

President Donald Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, has arrived in Ethiopia to promote a US government initiative aimed at advancing women’s participation in the workplace.

唐纳德·特朗普总统的大女儿伊万卡·特朗普已经抵达埃塞俄比亚，以期推动美国政府一项旨在促进女性就业的倡议。

The initiative aims to benefit 50 million women in developing countries by 2025.

According to the initiative’s website, low participation of women in the formal labour markets impedes economic growth and poverty reduction in developing countries.

The project is financed by a $50m fund within the US international development aid agency (USAid).

Ms Trump, who also serves as an adviser to her father, will attend a World Bank policy summit while in Ethiopia.

Mr Trump, however, upset many in the continent last year after he reportedly used the word "shithole" to describe African nations.
