Developing a Business Climate survey for PPD in Ethiopia

Location

Ethiopia

Topic

Business Regulation and Policy, Public Private Dialogue

Year

2021

Context

Social enterprises have a role to play in the economic growth of Ethiopia but more support is needed to enable their growth and focus in the economic development of the country.

Objective

The ICR Facility supported the EUBFE in its ability to conduct public-private dialogues (PPD) based on validated information and evidence, and to attract new members. EUBFE developped a prototype empirical report on the Ethiopian business climate. The report gave a snapshot view of the status quo and highlighted current dynamics and challenges for investors. The activity included the following steps:

  • Online survey among EUBFE members and other European companies in Ethiopia
  • In-depth interviews with selected companies and with selected government officials
  • Publication of the report and conducting stakeholder engagement workshops to present and discuss key findings
  • Designing a methodological manual on how to develop the report to enable EUBFE to conduct future editions in the coming years

Result

The report highlights the strengths and the areas of improvement in the Ethiopian business and investment climate. This enables EUBFE to better engage in PPD with the government and to lobby for reforms that can stimulate more investments by European companies in Ethiopia. Moreover, the report offers valuable information to companies interested in Ethiopia as an investment destination and improves EUBFE’s ability to attract new members.
