Ethiopia: The Digital Match Making Platform for Investments into Tourism and Conservation

The Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority (EWCA) has embraced private sector investments in protected areas. Through the GIZ BFP III program, a Digital Match-Making Platform is being developed.

Objective

The digital match-making plat-form aims to provide information to potential investors who are interested in conservation-related investment opportunities in Ethiopian protected areas. Using the platform as a business engine, it aims to connect private partners with the desired business interests and services of EWCA and the protected areas.
