The Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) seeks to consolidate the positive development outcomes attained in the last decade to bring about broad-based and transformative structural changes required to stir the economy on rapid growth path toward becoming a middle income country by 2025. This development goal is especially anchored on stimulating rapid growth and structural transformation of the agricultural and industrial sectors in ways that enhances wealth creation and expansion of employment opportunities in the economy. 
The third strategic pillar of the plan on industrial development emphasizes the need to create conditions that will enable the industry to play a key role in the economy and promote the establishment and growth of export-oriented and import-substituting industries (textiles &garments, leather shoe and goods, agro-industries including sugar, chemicals including cement and plastics, pharmaceuticals, and metals & engineering) in the country, so as to accelerate structural changes in these sectors and create more employment. Interventions are envisaged at two levels: i) the development of small and micro enterprises (for which a comprehensive Micro and Small Enterprises development strategy has been developed and the responsible federal executive agency reorganized and strengthened in the first year of the GTP implementation) and ii) the strengthening of Medium and Large Scale manufacturing industry, whose role is to bring about a structural transformation in the economy and accelerate industrial development (once their performance and competitiveness is strengthened). The GTP aims to achieve the above through the balanced participation of the public and private sectors; where the private sector has been encouraged to invest in manufacturing activities (especially textile and garment, leather and leather products and agro-processing sectors such as oilseed processing, beverages and food processing industries).

Furthermore, the GTP envisions that this will be accomplished by the full growth potentials of the MSEs to grow into medium and large scale domestic enterprises. This is expected to expand the country’s industrial base and increase foreign exchange earnings by encouraging export and import substitution activities. This is well in line with the Country’s Agricultural Development -Led Industrialization strategy. The GTP, whilst continuing to consider agriculture as the main source of growth and job creation, envisages the industrial sector to gradually play an increasing role in the economy.
To support the Government of Ethiopia's strong commitment to realize these transformative goals indicated in the GTP, UNDP has availed its Support through " Industrial Development and Entrepreneurships Program" to contribute to the institutional and organizational capacity development efforts that would enable speedier implementation of the development policies and strategies needed to support the realization of the industrial development and structural change that is envisaged in the GTP.
In this regard, we are looking for an Industrial development Adviser to act as adviser to the Minister of Industry to provide strategic policy/strategy/project level advice on formulation, effective implementation and coordination of new and existing policies, strategies and transformational program/projects.

He/she will assess the impact of the current policy, strategies and projects, and document lessons learnt.
