The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has found in its annual Least Developed Countries (LDCs) report that entrepreneurs are faced with numerous constraints and struggle to stay in business across the LDCs where Ethiopia is one of the least performers.

The Entrepreneurship Development Center (EDC), a joint program of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Government of Ethiopia through the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing, highlighted the work of a number of individuals who have embraced the ideas of entrepreneurship and as role-models for young people intent on following in their footsteps at a sold-out event at Hilton Addis on Thursday.

The Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneurship Forum hosted thousands of young African entrepreneurs last week in Lagos, Nigeria. Among the thousands that attended were delegates from Ethiopia for a chance to be mentored by some of the noted corporate leaders within the continent and get the much needed funds to turn their entrepreneurial dreams into reality.
