INKOMOKO LOCATIONS

Commencing in 2022, Inkomoko’s current sites are:

  • Jigjiga – In the capital of the Somali region, Inkomoko provides training, advisory and market linkages services to both the host community and the Kebribeyah refugee camp. With a strong focus on female entrepreneurship, Inkomoko aims to serve 65% women clients.
  • Assosa – In Western Ethiopia, near the Sudanese border, Assosa provides business support within the Sherkole camp. Inkomoko is actively serving clients in this location, working to ensure financial inclusion and improved livelihoods.
