The Ethiopian Investment Commission (EIC) is an autonomous government institution accountable to the
country’s Investment Board, which is chaired by the Prime Minister. The Commission has the main
objective of establishing a conducive investment climate, attracting and retaining investments, and
implementing a transparent and efficient investment administration system in Ethiopia. The EIC has three
broad verticals for attracting FDI and improving the services provided to investors – Promotion and
Research, Investment Operations: Facilitation and Aftercare, and Special Economic Zones.

To further strengthen the institutional implementation capacity and enhance effective implementation of
the investment facilitation and aftercare support to the investors, the Ethiopian Investment Commission
through the grant received from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
GmbH would like to hire Young Professionals willing to be deployed in different departments and
contribute to reform initiatives of the Commission.

The Young Professional Development Programme of the EIC has been implemented for the last several
years and contributing to the success of the commission. For driving Investment promotion, facilitation,
aftercare as well as attraction of FDI’s into the country, the Young Professional role is expected to bring a
fresh perspective in attracting quality investments, strengthen one-stop shop service delivery, and
investment aftercare services while ensuring compliance to social and environmental standards in
Ethiopia.
