The International Labour Organization and FC Africa have launched an integrated business plan competition across Ethiopia, aimed at fostering economic growth and job creation, per consultancy.africa.

This initiative targets young entrepreneurs and small businesses, providing them with resources and mentorship to develop scalable ventures in key sectors such as agriculture, technology, and manufacturing.

Meanwhile, the ongoing violence in northern Ethiopia is pushing the health system towards collapse, according to WHO reports; the situation is worsening with limited access to medical supplies and personnel.
