The planned impact is to create 45,000 jobs (75% of which will be held by women) and increase the incomes of 65,000 households by at least 20%.

    The Finance Group is expected to achieve the outcome of increasing investment levels in the Ethiopian economy, particularly for growth-oriented small and medium enterprise. This will include funding of green technologies where appropriate and develop funding for green growth investment.
    The Agro-Industrial Group is expected to achieve the outcome of increasing returns on investment (productivity) and investment levels in the identified sectors of cotton/textiles, livestock/leather and horticulture, in order to achieve the impact of creating jobs and raising household incomes. Additionally, this pillar will incorporate the promotion of climate change awareness and addressing women’s economic empowerment.

Hawasa Industrial Park (HIP) is the flagship park set up by the government which focuses on Garments export. There are currently 18 factories operating in the park. However, the factories in the park are faced with challenges of high labour turnover and low labour productivity. This is mainly owing to the fact that employees are coming from agricultural background and do not see a future for themselves in the industrial settings. EP has designed an intervention to address these challenges faced by factories in the HIP and beyond.

The integrated scheme aims to increase worker retention and productivity by building a long-term purpose and plan for workers of becoming owners and managers of SME businesses.
