Association of Women in Business (AWiB)

AWiB provides a networking platform for its members and fans. Not only does AWiB bring prominent people to engage with the audience in a highly accessible environment, but AWiB is also committed to profiling and introducing to its audience up and coming women and women whose work and contribution to society in their respective industries has not been exposed. AWiB believes in the power of creating and expanding networks for success, moving culturally imposed notions of reservation out of the equation. By promoting the value in building relationships, AWiB espouses the idea that a vision shared is a vision realized. During networking sessions audience members are encouraged to leave their safety zones and engage in conversation with women they have not discovered yet. AWiB also affords its members an online forum platform where discussions on various topics can be continued at the comforts of their homes or offices. All it takes to start a conversation is to log-in.

Ethiopia Economic Outlook

Ethiopia is steadily recovering from the 2015/16 and 2017 droughts, with continued expansion of services and industry and a rebound in agriculture. At 39.3%, services accounted for the largest share of GDP in 2016/17, 39.3%, driven by trade, transport, and communications, although this share decreased from 47.3% in 2015/16. Industry’s share of GDP increased from 16.7% in 2015/16 to 25.6% in 2016/17, driven by construction, electricity, and manufacturing. Implementation of the export-led industrialization strategy supported growth in industry. Although agriculture’s share of GDP stagnated at 36%, the sector’s growth rate increased from 2.3% in 2015/16 to 6.7% in 2016/17 due to rising commodity prices, notably for coffee. Growth continues to be led by investment in line with stable public infrastructure spending and higher foreign direct investment (FDI). Real GDP growth during 2017/18–2018/19 will be led by greater agricultural productivity and strong industrial growth.
