“Today, we, along with The Coca-Cola Company, support over 58,000 jobs annually in the value chain in the country.”

On the donation, Bogdanovic said, “The donation will be directed towards empowering youths and women and the provision of water and sanitary facilities.”

The €1m fund will be deployed to support four key initiatives, including the federal government’s Open Defecation-Free (ODF) status by 2025, raising the capacity of underserved youths and women in high-demand skills and community recycling initiatives.
