Background

TRAIDE Ethiopia has been set-up to attract Dutch investments and to stimulate such sustainable investments from the Netherlands. TRAIDE Ethiopia is a program carried out by the Netherlands TRAIDE Foundation, and works closely together with the Ethiopia-Netherlands Business Association (ENLBA).

The main objective of TRAIDE Ethiopia therefore is to increase sustainable trade and investments from the Netherlands. Its three main objectives are to (1) Increase Dutch investments in and trade with Ethiopia, (2) improve the business climate and enabling environment and (3) ensure investments are implemented in a socially and environmentally responsible way. We provide tailored support to Dutch companies and thereby contribute to sustainable private sector development. The program aims to promote a model of high quality and high investment where trade can contribute to development objectives. This leads to a larger and diverse investment portfolio from the Netherlands in Ethiopia, and simultaneously contributes to sustainable sector development in Ethiopia.
