Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (ILO News) – The International Labour Organization (ILO), in partnership with FC Africa Development and with support from the Government of the Netherlands through the PROSPECTS partnership, has launched a new phase of the Integrated Business Plan Competition (BPC) in three regions of Ethiopia. The initiative will be implemented in the Somali, Benishangul-Gumuz and Amhara regions, reaching refugees and host community members in Jigjiga, Kebribeyah, Assosa and Dabat refugee operations. Participants will receive entrepreneurship training, business plan development support, coaching, mentoring, financial education and as well as support to access finance. The programme will also help participants formalize and license their businesses and access skills development services. At the launch, Khumbula Ndaba, ILO Country Director for Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan, said the competition would help translate economic inclusion into employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for young people. “This Business Plan Competition further strengthens the ILO's efforts to create decent jobs for young people,” he said.
