AGOA + Mission

The mission of VEGA’s AGOA+ program is to equip Ethiopia entrepreneurs with skills needed to take advantage of the various economic opportunities that that AGOA provides. This will in turn, encourage exports and support broad-based economic growth.

Use of Volunteers

As in all VEGA programs, highly skilled volunteers experts are used extensively in the AGOA+ program to deliver appropriate and effective technical assistance. Over the life of the program (July2005-June2007) VEGA will utilize the skills and talents of both long and short-term volunteers to provide technical assistance in the following areas:

  • Diaspora coordination;
  • Export promotion;
  • Trade show coordination & support; and
  • Information & communication technology (ICT)

AGOA+ also utilizes the knowledge of one well-trained MBA Advisor throughout the project. To Provide for program management and logistics, the program draws upon VEGA’s existing files capabilities in Ethiopia and is staffed by a small, highly skilled full-time staff.
