The United Nations Health Industry Foundation (UNHIF) has signalled plans to expand its investment footprint in Ethiopia across health, banking, mining, tourism, and information and communications technology (ICT).

During the meeting, Deputy Commissioner Zinabu briefed the delegation on Ethiopia’s ongoing reform initiatives and outlined the range of support services available to foreign investors.
