Ethiopia’s industrial parks have substantially increased local economic activity, household living standards, and women’s empowerment, but the gains stay close to the parks and depend heavily on where parks are built.
The parks have an average developed area of roughly 220 hectares. Sixteen are publicly owned and operated, and the remaining six are private. More than half specialise in labour-intensive sectors – textiles, apparel, and leather – while several others focus on more advanced industries such as ICT and pharmaceuticals.
