Transforming Ethiopia’s agro-processing sector to promote more and better jobs

ILO ProAgro Ethiopia –‘Promotion of Decent Work in Agribusiness’ project funded by the BMZ Special Initiative on Training and Job Creation, carried out market systems analyses (MSAs) in three agriculture sectors - fruits and vegetables, edible oils and poultry during its inception phase.

This consolidated report includes the findings from all three MSAs, which are focused on the Amhara and Sidama regions, and intend to identify the key market constraints to both SME growth and the creation of more and better jobs. Based on these analyses, a series of practical, evidence-informed interventions have been identified to address those constraints. The interventions will form an initial implementation entry point for the ProAgro Ethiopia project and will be structured in a way that will put local actors - both public and private - in the lead and in a position to continue the delivery of interventions even after the project life - enhancing project sustainability.
