Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed emphasized that the private sector holds a "pivotal role" in Ethiopia's economic transformation, identifying tourism as one of the five key pillars of the national reform agenda.

The Prime Minister stated that flagship initiatives—including "Dine for Sheger," "Dine for the Nation," and "Dine for a Generation"—are strategically designed to create new opportunities for private investors.

According to the Premier, these projects aim to pave the way for increased private sector involvement in developing world-class destinations and expanding essential hospitality services across the country.

The remarks underscore the government's shift toward leveraging public-led infrastructure projects to stimulate long-term commercial growth in the tourism and service industries.
