ecbp is supporting the development of the private sector in Ethiopia in order to capitalize on its strong potential. In order to advance the selected sub-sectors of the economy, market links are being made for Ethiopian exports, while Business Development Services are being strengthened so that the growing private sector can get the services it needs.
Within the sub-sectors a variety of value chains exist, taking products from raw materials to markets as finished products. ecbp works with regional governments to identify the most important value chains and then finds the bottlenecks and missing links and identifies ways to fix these while increasing the value added by businesses. This is done through matchmaking activities and supporting individual businesses and associations.
Support to businesses emphasizes company reengineering and strengthening business and financial development services in the selected priority sub-sectors, and also with a focus on integrating smaller enterprises into value chains and sub-sectors. ecbp provides and facilitates solutions to individual businesses, business support institutions and business development consultants. The program also addresses chambers and sector associations to create a more fruitful public-private cooperation and transparent business practices.
