EIB-Dashen Financing Programme Targets More Than 34,000 Jobs

The €40 million financing package announced by EIB Global and Dashen Bank on 29 October 2026 is projected to support more than 34,000 full-time jobs through Ethiopian small and medium-sized businesses. The programme prioritises agricultural value chains and includes support for climate-related investment and women-led businesses. The employment figure is a projected impact, not a count of jobs already created. Employers, HR consultancies and training providers can explore opportunities in workforce planning, employment analytics and skills development. HPC can support workforce data systems, business analytics and performance reporting; contact HPC for a tailored quotation.
