Ethiopian Ministry of Industry, supported by a Development Partner
Sector
Industrial Policy · Government Advisory · PPD Facilitation
The Challenge
Policy implementation was slowed by unclear coordination between government and private sector actors. Meetings were irregular, follow-up actions were not tracked, and critical issues were not prioritized.
The Ministry needed a structured PPD framework to improve communication, accountability, and evidence-based policy reform.
Our Approach
Envest designed and delivered a full PPD solution:
1. Stakeholder Mapping
Identified all relevant associations, private firms, government agencies, and development partners.
2. Evidence-Based Agenda Setting
Collected data on sector bottlenecks, regulatory friction points, and industry priorities.
3. PPD Framework Design
We developed:
- Meeting structures and frequency
- Technical working groups
- Evidence channels for agenda submissions
- Government-private sector escalation protocols
4. Monitoring & Follow-Up System
To ensure accountability, we built a digital tool to:
- Record action points
- Assign responsibilities
- Track deadlines
- Generate reform progress reports
The Outcome
The Ministry now runs regular, structured PPD sessions with clear agendas and measurable outcomes.
Results within the first year included:
- Faster policy response time
- Improved transparency
- Reduction in backlogs for industrial licensing
- Stronger collaboration between associations and government
This platform became a model for other sector-working groups.
