To realize the vision of Ethiopia’s Growth and Transformation Plan, and the role that a growing and dynamic private sector can play in its achievement, the Ministry of Urban Development and Construction and the Federal Micro and Small Enterprises Development Agency (FEMSEDA), in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Ethiopia, launched the Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP) in February 2013. The goal of the EDP is to foster the emergence of a robust and competitive private sector through the development of the micro and small enterprise (MSE) sector. EDP established the Entrepreneurship Development Centre (EDC), a semi-autonomous organization, to spearhead the implementation of innovative entrepreneurship skills training and customized business development services to new and existing MSEs in the country.
EDC is seeking the service of a qualified professional to assume the role of Gender and Business Programme Manager. The Gender and Business Programme Manager will be responsible for integrating gender sensitive approaches for the EDP implementation and propose initiatives that will mainstream gender into all activities. The Gender and Business Program Manager will improve EDP effectiveness and sustainability by ensuring a gender strategy is in place that promotes women entrepreneurship and supports the development of profitable women owned businesses. In addition, the strategy will provide women with an increased access to business opportunities as it relates to entrepreneurship and identify and mitigate gender-specific risks. The Gender and Business Program Manager will work closely with EDP staff to complete a gender analysis on issues affecting women entrepreneurs, including their limited access to business opportunities. This analysis will facilitate the design and implementation of the gender strategy.
