National Program Support to Environment and Natural Resources Management Project Next

Itad is providing strategic monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and results management services to the UK Department for International Development’s Private Enterprise Programme, Ethiopia (PEPE).
PEPE is a seven year programme which aims to support private sector development by improving firms’ access to finance and addressing market and government failures in identified priority sectors. It is applying a market development (M4P) approach.

The access to finance pillar is expected to increase investment levels in the Ethiopian economy, particularly for growth-oriented small and medium enterprises (SMEs), whilst the priority sectors pillar is expected to increase returns to investment (productivity) and investment levels in textiles, leather and horticulture production. For both pillars, the end goal is to raise employment and household incomes. Particular priority is given to supporting economic opportunity for women, as well as ‘greening’ growth. Under PEPE, DFID is also funding a separate World Bank Programme, the Women’s Enterprise Development Programme (WEDP).
