Ethiopia’s industrialization model for Africa, says UNIDO

Addis Ababa, February 6, 2016 (FBC) – The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has praised Ethiopia for realizing the vision of industrialization in Africa.
Ethiopia is developing industrial parks across the country that can contribute heavily in job creation and accelerating economic transformation, Jean Bakole, Representative to AU and Regional Director of UNIDO said.

Ethiopia has taken great strides in the development of industrial parks and industrial zones and this could be a model for Africans and COMESA countries in particular, he indicated.

Ethiopia’s heightened drive towards industrialization led to its selection by UNIDO as exemplary state in the continent, alongside Senegal, he indicated.
