Support to the formulation of the Transforming Triggering Facility (TTF)

The TTF was a pilot project aiming at jump starting the transformation process of Ethiopia in line with the GTP vision and targets related to growth, industrial development and the creation of additional employment opportunities. It was structured under four clusters whose activities can be summarised for the purpose of this assignment under the following five components: i) provision of technical advice and external experience for policy fine-tuning (of the industrial, PSD, tourism and competition policies); ii) a series of capacity building initiatives to boost the knowledge, efficiency and effectiveness of private and public front line agencies involved in the transformation process (including Intermediary Organisation, Investment Agency, Addis Ababa Administration, the Central Statistical Agency and various business development service operators); iii) research and direct financing for selected transforming programmes in support to medium, small and micro enterprises and iv) interventions related to bringing Ethiopia a regional hub for conference, tourism, trade, aviation and medical treatment. v) identification of new embryonic products. It was expected that this new three year project (2012-2015) will place the EU in a challenging and exciting leading position and will result in a strengthened policy dialogue on areas related to industrial growth, private sector development and the general business enabling environment. This project aimed at supporting the Government of Ethiopia, and in particular the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, to develop and formulate the Action Fiche, Technical Administrative Provision and Log frame for the Transformation Triggering Facility, in agreement with EU templates
