Business Development Services (Bds) Coordinator And Services ProviderSnv,Realizing Aspiration Youth In Ethiopia Through Employment (Rayee) Project Jan 2021 - PresentSouthern Nations, Nationalities, And Peoples, EthiopiaUnemployment amongst young women in Ethiopia is 10% higher than amongst young men. While the country has one of Africa’s more progressive societies in terms of legal and societal gender equality, women’s economic opportunities tend to be limited to lower-quality jobs. There is also a clear correlation between the social and health problems seen in Ethiopia and limited opportunities for women. Due to domestic responsibilities, women are constrained from searching for work, accepting work, or remaining in work.The RAYEE project will implement focused interventions to maximise opportunities for young women, during the entire employment trajectory from the screening capacity building phase to the matching and coaching phases. We will also provide targeted support to young women who want to establish their own enterprises. By working with authorities, like the high-level technical working group of the Job Creation Commission and the government offices on Enterprise Development, Labour and Social Affairs, we can coordinate initiatives and resources. This will maximise the project’s direct results. More importantly, we can contribute to the development of an enabling environment for youth employment in the targeted regions as well as the country as a whole.

Business Development Services (Bds) Coordinator And Services Provider In Mesmer ProgrammeAskamar Consulting And Enginnering Aug 2023 - Mar 2024Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, EthiopiaBDS is a comprehensive concept that covers the identification of business opportunities, delivery of updated and reliable information, support in the development of business plans, hand-holding during the process of setting up businesses by SMEs, and marketing of the products and services. R&D, innovations, and modernization are also critical components of effective BDS design. Since BDS designs and frameworks differ from country to country, no “one-size fits all” model can be recommended. Each country will have to customize their BDS depending on local conditions, requirements of the sector and other entrepreneurs.
