Ethiopia is located in the Horn of Africa and has a long history as one of the oldest kingdoms in the world. Agriculture is the primary economic activity, contributing over 40% to GDP. Coffee is a major export crop. The population is over 88 million with over 80 ethnic groups and numerous local languages. Amharic is the most widely spoken language. While Ethiopia has experienced civil unrest and famine, the economy has grown in recent years with infrastructure development opportunities in agriculture, electricity, and IT. Maintaining cooperative relations with Egypt over shared water resources will be important for continued regional stability and investment.

HBR Case: Ethiopia: An Emerging Market Opportunity?Kristian Moeller
The Ethiopia: An Emerging Market Opportunity? case centers on the potential and challenges of entering an emerging market. It provides a brief overview of the Ethiopian market, market reforms and policies, and the business environment faced by foreign companies. Three multinational businesses, CareCo, ShoeCo, and MedCo, must decide whether and how to enter the Ethiopian market. Students are asked to make a recommendation for each company based on the attractiveness of the market, the factors that matter most for success, and an assessment of what applies to the companies.

Case Study Environmental Quality International in Siwa042009-5.docxdrennanmicah
Case Study: Environmental Quality International in Siwa
04/2009-5607
This case was written by Professor Jonathan Story, Emeritus Professor of International Political Economy at INSEAD. It is intended to be used as a basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation.
When Mounir Neamatalla, President of the private Egyptian firm Environmental Quality International (EQI), first set eyes on the Siwa Oasis in 1995, in the Matrouh region of Egypt in the Sahara desert, he was enthralled. Neamatalla, a consultant who had studied environmental management at Columbia University, was visiting the oasis on a project for the Canadian Development Agency. He was struck by the fact that, with a few anachronisms, the community he was visiting could easily have been the one described by Herodotus 2,500 years earlier. Here was an ideal fit with EQI’s mandate to promote sustainable development projects wherever the opportunity beckoned. Where others saw poverty and isolation, Neamatalla saw riches: a culture, tradition and heritage untouched by the passage of time.
Over the years that followed, EQI designed and implemented a number of commercial ventures aimed at promoting economic development in Siwa—one that would be in harmony with Siwa’s environment and that would revitalise its unique cultural heritage. EQI's approach was to draw on the old wisdom, traditional skills and creativity of the local community, and complement them with modern know-how to develop Siwa into a model of sustainable development that could serve as a source of inspiration for other communities around the world. Some of these ventures are currently being replicated by EQI in other parts of the region.
Egypt
The past few decades have seen Egypt move from a pan-Arabic, largely socialist state at war with Israel, to an increasingly market-oriented anchor of stability in a troubled region. As one of two Arab countries that have forged peace with Israel, Egypt has played an important role in promoting dialogue between Israel and its Arab neighbours.The North African country is one of the largest recipients of American aid. In 2008, it was slated to receive $1.3 billion in military aid and another $415 million in economic assistance. With a population of 80 million, it is home to one in four Arabs.
The population of Egypt is concentrated along the Nile river banks and is urbanizing fast as rural inhabitants pour into the main cities of Cairo and Alexandria. From 43 million in 1980 to nearly 80 million in 2005, it is estimated by the UN to reach 100 million by the 2020s. Population density is among the world’s highest. The urban population accounts for 42% of the total and is growing at a rate of 1.8% per annum. Farming represents 29% of GDP, industry 22%, and services 49%. Per capita income is $1,200 and the literacy rate is 57%. Water scarcity is a prime concern. Roughly 96% of Egypt’s land mass is made up of d.

Geography
Ethiopia is located in the Horn of Africa and is bordered on the north and northeast by Eritrea,
on the east by Djibouti and Somalia, on the south by Kenya, on the northwest by Sudan and on
the southwest by South Sudan. The country has a high central plateau that varies from 1,290 to
3,000 m) above sea level, with the highest mountain reaching 4,533 m. Elevation is generally
highest just before the point of descent to the Great Rift Valley, which splits the plateau
diagonally. A number of rivers cross the plateau—notably the Blue Nile rising from Lake Tana.
The plateau gradually slopes to the lowlands of the Sudan on the west and the Somali-inhabited
plains to the southeast.

7. Ethiopia Investment Overview
The Ethiopian economy is predominantly agricultural and the production
in such sector constitutes a major part of the country’s economy, contributing
about 45 per cent for the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and about 62 per cent for
total exports. It accounts for 85 per cent of total employment. Coffee, a major cash crop, is of
high quality and contributes about 62 per cent of total agricultural exports. So, it is a major
source of foreign-currency earnings. Manufacturing, mining, trade, tourism, construction,
services, etc., which make up the remaining 55 per cent of GDP, supplement agriculture.
Industry contributes only 11 per cent to GDP and 16 per cent to the total exports.
Exports:
$1.6 billion (2009 est.): coffee , qat, gold, leather products, live animals, oilseeds.

8. Ethiopia Profile
Relation between Egypt & Ethiopia:
- The diplomatic relation between Ethiopia and Egypt has strengthened since the
aftermath of Egyptian Revolution that brought the Mubarek regime to its ends in
the 2011. There is at least a general understanding to stick to a win-win approach
particularly in connection with the utilization of the Nile Waters.
Our Recommendations:
- There are many potential investments in Ethiopia which lead the other countries to
think for investing in Ethiopia. The investment areas are in electricity, livestock
,agricultures and Information Technology (particularly in Gov. e-Payment Services.).
Egypt has long experience in electricity field especially after established high dam
and in IT field.
- Documents from Ethiopian Ministry of Water and Energy indicate that about 95 per
cent of the Nile Waters hasn’t been used yet. If there is common understanding
and cooperation among the people along the region to develop various projects
along it, the Nile will be the life of the entire people. It will be the life of Ethiopia,
the life of Egypt and the life of other basin countries.
