AAAM, German partner to develop Ethiopian auto policy
The African Association of Automotive Manufacturers (AAAM) has been appointed to develop an automotive policy for the Ethiopian government that will ultimately aim to encourage global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs, or vehicle manufacturers) and component manufacturers to invest in Ethiopia. In addition, an automotive training programme for existing assemblers and workshop owners will be developed and piloted, along with the development of a concept for a Centre of Excellence to train Ethiopians for the skilled jobs an automotive industry will require.
