“ምንም ስትሰራ፣ እቅድህን ጠብቅ,” is Amharic for, “Whatever you do, stick to your plan.”
In 2022, the Addis Ababa Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations with Danish Industry partnership developed the Addis Ababa Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations Green Transition Road Map.
An ambitious plan to lead a private sector-driven green transition. A light house.
The Addis Ababa Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations stuck to the plan.
Breaking the road map into bit-size pieces, such as the energy and water efficiency score card.
Which the Addis Ababa Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations and Danish Industry co-developed and validated with Ethiopian companies this week.
This score card is not practical and fit for the Ethiopian context, but with Danish and international inspiration.
Provided by Danish Industry Industry’s, Sara Husum, who shared experiences about the role of the private sector leadership in energy and water sustainability.
Now that the strategy and the tools are in place, the hard work begins.
Walking with the companies to adopt practices and acquire technologies that lead to real energy and water efficiency gains.
But such ambition requires the highest level of commitment.
Klaus Lehn Christensen engaged at the Addis Ababa Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations Board of directors on developing forward looking strategy that future proof the chamber in a rapidly changing environment.
