Worth 78 million Br, the project aims to support government Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) relief efforts by galvanizing the bamboo industry.
The German Development Agency (GIZ) and the Federal Small & Medium Manufacturing Industries Promotion Authority have launched a project in Addis Abeba, Oromia, Southern Nations, Nationalities & Peoples, Amhara and Tigray regional states. These enterprises will produce 20,000 bamboo beds over a six-month period.
Once the production is completed, the Agency has pledged to purchase the beds and hand them over to the Ministry of Health for use by various COVID-19 treatment centres in the country.
The programme aims to increase the value of the bamboo sector by supporting the businesses and creating job and marketing opportunities.
