Project Description:
In line with the Ethiopian transformation agenda, the United Kingdom and German governments are supporting the country’s pathway towards industrialisation by implementing a joint project named Sustainable Industrial Clusters (S.I.C.). The project will be implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH under a co-financing agreement between the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the UK and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
The S.I.C. project’s objective is to promote sustainable growth and decent jobs in Ethiopia’s manufacturing sector in industrial clusters. In line with Ethiopia’s industrial development strategy the S.I.C. project aims to support Ethiopia in positioning itself not only as Africa’s manufacturing hub.
