An example here of how the private sector can help sustainable development with the Raya Brewery in Ethiopia investing in restoring a community watershed, acting both in its own self-interest and that of the local community who had previously seen their access to water being threatened by a lack of care for the resource.

Evidence, if it were needed that sometimes self-interest and wider public interest can be allied - and a lovely example of a firm taking a stance on corporate social responsibility too.

Our joint development project with RayaBrewery and EndaMokoni on "Maymuk integrated watershed development project" #E/mokoni Wore #Tigray. The watershed is about 70 ha and planted 22000 indigenous seedlings and constructed SWC in 20ha. Thanks to our committed staff.@ProfKindeya pic.twitter.com/jbXlysZKXU
