About us

The Ethiopian Business and Disability Network (EBDN) addresses disability as a diversity issue from a private-sector perspective. It does this through information and knowledge sharing, joint action, improving technical skills of members, their networks and staff, and through corporate social responsibility activities. It assists local companies to adapt products and services to the needs of customers with disabilities. The EBDN fosters the development of a workforce culture that is respectful and inclusive, promoting the hiring, retention and professional development of women and men with disabilities. The EBDN promotes business awareness about the positive relationship between the inclusion of people with disabilities, as workers, customers and share-holders, and business success. A Core Group of founding business leaders from both public and private companies in Ethiopia meets periodically to guide the development of the Network. A growing number of local companies are joining the Network in order to learn about the benefits of hiring workers with disabilities and thus becoming more competitive. Membership is free. The EBDN was initiated by the Ethiopian Center for Disability and Development (ECDD), a local non-governmental development organization working with employers to provide skills training, internships and employment opportunities for persons with disabilities. ECDD continues to provide support to and facilitate meetings of the EBDN.
