Focus Systems

We work in four interrelated market systems, which were selected based on their relevance to poor women and youth, the opportunity for positive impact, and the feasibility of intervention. Following a comprehensive analysis of each market system in Addis Ababa, we identified key intervention areas that have the potential to improve the systems in a way that is sustainable and affects a large number of women and youth. Each system is led by one of the consortium partners.
