The Ethiopian Investment Commission (EIC) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with First Consult for BRIDGES Program to implement the digitization of labor supply and matching database across seven industrial parks. Fifteen thousand micro, small and medium enterprises will also benefit from the digital labor database, ENA reported. The Commissioner further expressed hope that the digital labor database will unlock the potential for job creation within industrial parks, and also help create a conducive ecosystem in their vicinity. Consequently, the partnership is expected to lead to a series of job creation and employment interventions across several industrial parks throughout Ethiopia. Seven industrial parks - Adama, Debrebrhan, Dire Dawa, Bahirdar, Hawassa, Mekelle and Kombolcha - will take part in the first round utilization of the labor database, ENA reports.
