Call for Expression of Interest for Public-Private Partnerships in Ethiopia
The Ethiopian Seed Partnership (ESP) is announcing a Call for Expression of Interest (EoI) for public-private partnerships (PPPs) in Ethiopia via the ESP. Wageningen University & Research (WUR) is collaborating with the International Seed Federation (ISF) to run the Call for EoI. This call is open to a wide variety of crops and offers the possibility to establish PPPs following three different modalities depending on your company's interest and presence in Ethiopia.
