Over the last decade, Ethiopia has achieved a remarkable economic growth. GDP growth rates average 10.8 percent annually—compared to a regional average of less than 5 percent, hence placing the country among the top performing African economies. Ethiopia is implementing phase II of its Growth and Transformation Plan, that is anchored on building a solid and vibrant industrial base and paves the way to structural economic transformation and inclusive growth. The government of Ethiopia’s overarching plan is to make the country a manufacturing hub in Africa by 2025—with a focus on light manufacturing. Ethiopia’s industrialization approach includes developing specialized industrial parks, maintaining environmental sustainability, building vertically integrated industries, and enhancing skills development—and all these will be achieved through strong collaboration with the private sector, including global players in the value chain.
