The role of industry parks in the local economy : The case of SMEs in Ethiopia

ethiopia_the_role_of_industry_parks_in_the_local_economy_final_2024.pdf

April 15, 2024

In recent years, Ethiopia has tried to undertake an industrial policy to emerge as a manufacturing hub. Central to this strategy has been the operationalizing of multiple industrial parks post 2014. The study accordingly asks four key questions: What is the pattern of industrial policy in Ethiopia overtime? What is the role of industry park to the local economy, mainly performance of SMEs? What is the implication of political economy on the performance of industry parks in Ethiopia? What are the lessons on industry park to be drawn from best practices of Asian countries?

The study has several key findings. In Ethiopia, manufacturing in general is lagging in terms of value added and value added per-capita compared to other sectors and has not been a strong performer despite some successes. There are many reasons for this, including limited access to finance and raw materials, market demand constraint, poor logistics, quality constraint, skills constraint, forex restrictions, and regulations. The public industrial parks in the country with a major focus on textile and garment have revealed mixed performance in terms of output and employment. The parks have varied occupancy rates depending on management and location, with those closer to bigger cities performing better.

Case Studies of Global Governance for Health Research

• Kiarash Aramesh 4  
• First Online: 14 November 2019

153 Accesses

Part of the book series: Advancing Global Bioethics ((AGBIO,volume 15))

This chapter is specified to a number of case studies to portray the challenges of Global Health Governance and Global Governance for Health Research in the real-world through historical cases. The fourth chapter begins with a broader scope. In the first case, Zika pandemic, it shows how Global Health Governance uses previous experiences to deal with newly-emerged pandemics. Research integrity in Iran discusses how local practices on research integrity are important at the global scale and should be addressed by Global Governance for Health Research. HIV/AIDS Research in LMICs describes a paradigm case of exploitation in research that contributed to a significant shift in the history of clinical research. Sending Biological Specimens Abroad discusses bio-piracy as a topic within Global Governance for Health Research. Also, it shows how international collaborations may be seen by the weaker sides. Research on Pre-Implantation Human Embryo portrays how different religious and seculars perspectives collectively take part in shaping the ethical grounds for Global Governance for Health Research. The final case study in this chapter, Traditional Medicines, Science-Pseudoscience Debate, and Biopiracy, addresses the globalized aspects of science-pseudoscience debate and Biopiracy by discussing traditional medicines as a paradigm example. By exploring such spectrum of real-world cases, the fourth chapter portrays the existing need of Global Health Governance and Global Governance for Health Research to a comprehensive ethical framework. It also shows how particular challenges or ethical principles are more relevant to each case.
