Welcome to Digital Opportunity Trust (DOT) Ethiopia on the Web.   DOT Ethiopia is the next implementation of the Global NetCorps program in Africa. Focusing on small business development, the DOT Ethiopia program will engage the nation’s youth to apply new ICT, modern skills and approaches to drive real economic and social impact in communities across the country.

Currently the DOT Ethiopia program is implementing DOT's pioneering Reach Up! program.  Five young and dynamic Interns have been engaged and will be delivering the Reach Up! programme to DOT Ethiopia's community partners.

DOT Ethiopia has created vital partnerships with key players in government, education and private sectors for sustaining and scaling its programs in Ethiopia.


Impact At A Glance

Since it's inception in 2006, 194 Ethiopian community participants have benefited from the ReachUp! program.  A total of 10 DOT Ethiopia Interns have been recruited to deliver the program to local communities.
