Established in 2010, Kifiya is a technology and services company that has been developing scalable and secure technology platforms over the past nine years and distribution network that covers the whole of Ethiopia through 16 regional offices.
Kifiya has launched several successful technology platforms including lehulu, yeneguzo, a sport booking and ticketing platform, an agricultural micro insurance product, a membership payments platform designed for Red Cross and most notably our airtime distribution agent network. We are progressing as a technology company and we’ve entered Kifiya 2.0. As a part of Kifiya 2.0, we’ve built 8 new technology verticals that will transform the digital infrastructure of Ethiopia.
In 2020, Kifiya launched an e-commerce platform called Shega.com. Shega is an e-commerce platform for MSMEs to sell products to a wide variety of customers. In addition to providing the technical platform for the MSMEs to sell their products, Shega also provides an ecosystem of services that helps to prepare them to sell online. These services are meant to help MSMEs with little or no familiarity with digital commerce platforms to sell on Shega.com. We provide a workshop for them to learn the basics of e-commerce, photoshoots to showcase the products, support in branding and marketing, and cataloging support in uploading their products to Shega. Additionally, Shega will provide dedicated support to MSMEs through Shega staff based in dedicated training and support centers.
As part of our MSME training strategy, we plan to offer trainings in 10 sub-city areas every day of the working week. The curriculum has already been developed and we are looking for training consultants to deliver the trainings to the MSMEs. In addition to delivering training, the MSME must also take attendance, collect information about the MSMEs, pay per diems, and provide weekly narrative repots to Kifiya. The deliverables for the training consultants are as follows:
1. Consultant will be expected to train at least 30 MSMEs per sub-city per day
2. Adult learning (MSMEs) training engagement plan
3. Training of Trainer (TOT) training plan
