Ethiopia: Election for AACCSA Positions to Be Held

One of Ethiopia’s chamber of commerce and sectoral association, Addis Ababa Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations (AACCSA) is going to hold the 9th annual meeting of the Chamber again on March 3, 2015. During the meeting it will also conduct election of board members, president and vice president.

The decision was made by a board of trustees appointed by the Ministry of Trade (MoT) after a court ruling revoked the meeting and election held on December 19, 2013.

The court reasoned its revocation as transgressing member’s right to participate in the election process.

After the ruling, a board of trustees was established to coordinate AACCSA’s activities. It is this board that is calling for the election.

The board is made up of officials from the MoT, Addis Ababa Trade and Industry Bureau and Ethiopian Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations (ECCSA).
