About the roleDespite this sustained high growth, Ethiopia ranks 173/188 in the 2018 UNDP Human Development Index, 126/141 in the 2019 Global Competitiveness Index, and 159/190 in the 2019 World Bank Doing Business Index. Also, increased reliance on megaprojects to fuel growth led to large external imbalances with increasing debt, current account deficits, and decreasing exports as a share of GDP.
Recently, imports have declined due to the lack of foreign exchange, while export revenues have been stagnant due to a decline in world prices for export commodities, a loss of competitiveness from high inflation, and regulatory issues in certain sectors.
It is within this context that the government of Ethiopia and the European Commission have identified this TA programme to improve the business climate for foreign and domestic through various reforms.
Purpose
Provide TA and capacity-building to public sector entities in Ethiopia for implementing reforms to improve the business environment;
Support the establishment or modernisation of e-government systems and provide capacity-building and implementation support for the e-government systems implemented;
Support public-private dialogue in Ethiopia and existing and potential investors. In this project, public-private dialogue is defined as any platform where the government and private sector can discuss matters related to the business environment.
Anticipated results
TA and capacity-building, in forms including advice, expertise, capacity-building and training, provided to selected public sector entities in Ethiopia in the field of regulatory, policy and/or process reforms to improve the business environment.
In three identified technical streams:
e-government systems (i.e. processes and systems whereby government information and services are provided via the Internet or other digital means to citizens, businesses or other governmental agencies) are successfully implemented (i.e. established, developed and/or modernised, up-scaled, upgraded and automated) and capacity-building, on the job and post-system automation implementation support are provided for the e-government systems implemented.
Support provided to public-private dialogue
and to existing and potential investors, including through short term-expertise for relevant studies and analytical work, identification of areas where public-private dialogue is needed, organisation of dialogues and networking activities, support for the development and formation of existing and/or new public-private dialogue platforms, as well as communication, visibility and awareness-raising with the local and international private sector.
The monitoring and evaluation expert, based in Addis Ababa, will be in charge of following up on all the streams of the project and ensure that confidence with the beneficiaries is built and maintained.
