This 12th edition of the BORESHA Sheko highlights the working relationship between Boresha and Dolo Ado Distict in Ethiopia. This good working relationship and close coordination that has expanded the business operations in the town leading to the creation of jobs for the youth in this region, BORESHA has contributed towards job creation since they are central to economic growth and political stability. Jobs create earnings, which create demand, which in turn create production and investment and hence more jobs.
