Summary: | Ethiopia has many advantages as a destination for mining investment. These include promising geology, a well-designed
fiscal regime, stable government and a growing domestic market. Additionally, it has a well-managed and successful
artisanal and small scale mining sector. Under the second phase of Ethiopia’s Growth and Transformation Plan, Ethiopia
has the ambitious target for the mining sector to contribute 10% of GDP by 2025. Ethiopia must overcome significant
challenges to achieve this target. These challenges range across simplifying the licensing regime, developing its
investment promotion efforts and clarifying institutional responsibilities for social and environmental management to
enhancing stakeholder engagement in the governance of the sector. |
