Even though majority of respondents think that they have partnership
relationship with the Bank, the relationship does not comprise the
elements which constitute the formation and relationship of development
partnership. This can be understood from the responses of subsequent
questions in which majority of them said the existing partnership is on the
bases of the customer relationship and due to that majority of
respondents responds that there is no any formal discussion and
agreement developed to strength formal partnership with the Bank
because of that with expended market share and banking industries
almost half the respondents have legal and formal partnership with other
banks. This shows that as commercial bank of Ethiopia’s stakeholders
have to do much better with development partners to formalize and
legalize partnership by knowing their needs and will through legal
agreements and more do closely with the partners on developing
partnerships.
