Launch of the Business Climate Improvement facility
Since the start of 2014 the EUBFE is the beneficiary of an EU support program entitled the BizClim Facility (see for more info: www.acpbusinessclimate.org). The objectives of BizClim are to promote improvements of the business climate in the African Caribbean Pacific (ACP) countries. In the case of EUBFE, the financing is coming in the form of two teams combining foreign and local experts who will support the EUBFE in carrying out analytical work and the organisation of several events.
The first team of experts is working currently on an EU investment Survey, under which you may have been contacted already. The project subsequently aims to develop an EU investors' profile, by performing a review of the EU investments in Ethiopia, collect issues and feedback on doing business in Ethiopia and assess the key regulatory issues that are impeding businesses locally. Results of the Survey and the Assessments will be discussed in Round Tables and presented at the EUBFE Conference on the 10 June.
The EUBFE's Second Year Anniversary Conference and EXHIBITION will be organised on 2 october 2014.
