After successful Devex Career Forums in Nairobi, Washington, D.C. and Manila, Devex, along with executive partner RTI International, is taking the forum to yet another dynamic development city: Addis Ababa.
Often referred to as the capital of Africa, Addis Ababa is home to the African Union, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and hundreds of international development organizations and professionals.
According to Global Humanitarian Assistance, Ethiopia received $3.6 billion in aid in 2011, making the country the fifth largest recipient of official humanitarian assistance. A priority country for donors and implementers alike, Ethiopia has a wealth of deeply experienced local organizations and experts working in areas like education, health, food security, climate change and governance.
