Nonfarm sector development in rural
Ethiopia is central to generating employment and income and
thereby reducing poverty. The improved investment climate
could facilitate investments in farm and nonfarm sectors by
contributing directly and indirectly to the generation of
additional employment for women and men. Ethiopia Industrial
Development Strategy 2003 involved efforts to create an
enabling environment for the private sector to be a driving
force for economic development. The sectoral focus of the
strategy is on the development of agro-based industries and
on strengthening nonfarm sector. The sustainable support
system for rural women entrepreneurs is based on five main
components: (i) women's economic empowerment, (ii)
market development, (iii) access to markets, (iv) business
management support services, and (v) access to credit.
Necessary conditions to support nonfarm economic activities,
such as physical market development, feeder roads, and
transport, will also benefit agriculture and create a
virtuous circle of increasing farm and nonfarm income. Women
are more likely to be involved in and benefit from nonfarm
enterprise activities. Although the system proposed could be
targeted at men and women, women could be the main
beneficiaries of the support system. This sustainable system
is new and innovative in directly supporting the rural poor
and women by building the capacity of entrepreneurs and
supporting institutions linked to the existing projects.
This system may derive maximum synergy effects by
integrating with the Agricultural Growth Project (AGP) and
the Household Assets Building Program (HABP) of the
Productive Safety Nets Project (PSNP) in a complementary relationship.
