https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-47925874President 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.
Ms Trump will visit women working in the coffee industry and a female-run textile facility.
Launched in February, the Women's Global Development and Prosperity (W-GDP) initiative aims to train women worldwide to help them get well-paying jobs.
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.
She tweeted ahead of the trip that she was "excited".
