I think the word is de-formalizing. Informal sector indeed is very big. This can be a good thing if they are made to slowly move into SME. There is a lot of formalization happening in some sectors..chiefly retails sector...where supermarkets and malls...are replacing the dukawallas.

Ethiopia has got most vital aspects almost in place: cheap labor, energy, and transport infrastructure.

It also got a sizeable well educated diaspora that will fill gap, just like Chinese migration from western countries back to china when government offered inducements.
