In response to a technical assistance request from Ethiopia, UNCTAD developed a project proposal in consultation with Ethiopia based on the needs of the Ethiopian Trade Competition and Consumer Protection Authority.

The project aims to reinforce the capacities of the Authority in implementing competition and consumer protection laws.

The project will cover activities based on four broad areas, including policy and legal framework, institutional framework, enforcement capacity building, and advocacy for competition and consumer protection.

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg agreed to provide financial support to this 3-year project.

Mr. Mukhisa Kituyi, Secretary-General of UNCTAD and H.E. Jean-Marc Hoscheit, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Luxembourg to United Nations at Geneva and Ambassador of Luxembourg to Ethiopia signed the project document on 5 December 2014.
