Project Description
Having written the successful technical proposal for this project, Ricardo was commissioned by GIZ International Services to undertake two assignments:
- To contribute to the Inception Report in relation to two components of the project (Jan-May 2021);
- To lead the implementation of the public private dialogue (PPD) activities (Dec 2021 to May 2022). This included:
- Providing government counterparts with advice and technical support on the private sector development and doing business reform agenda;
- Identifying the EU Business Forum in Ethiopia’s (EUBFE) advocacy priorities leading to proposals for demand-driven studies;
- Identifying the PPD needs and priorities.
The PPD work included ground-breaking research on PPD instruments, as well as the development of eCommerce and ePPD instruments. The latter had never been done before. Dr Pinto provided the strategic know-how and oversight, while other team members led the programming and testing of the instruments.
