Connecting Medium Enterprises to the Digital Future and Creating Jobs Along the Way

We are excited to announce that we have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Labor and Skill- FDRE (MoLS) to collaborate on job creation through digital market linkage, with a focus on equipping MSMEs across Ethiopia with the tools and platforms they need to thrive in today’s digital economy!!!
As part of this partnership, we kicked off our first joint capacity-building session in Sheger City, hosted at Burayu Polytechnic College. During this pilot, we supported 110+ MSMEs by strengthening their digital marketing skills and onboarding them onto our digital platform including E-LMIS - ብቁ’s Lucy Gebeya (E-commerce) to enhance their visibility and access to market opportunities.
