I work with both domestic and foreign private companies in Ethiopia and the main vehicle to invest here is via equity participation (ex. private equity investments - firms such as KKR, Norfund, Catalyst)) or strategic joint ventures with multinationals.

Today, we engage with about 450+ local companies across various sectors :)
