Mission
Bridge the gap that policy cannot afford.
Enable effective cross-cultural engagement by delivering language and advisory work that is precise, discreet and grounded in African institutional contexts.
About the firm
A consultancy built for cross-cultural work.
Million Abebe Consultancy (MAC) was established in 2011 E.C. in Addis Ababa. We combine linguistic expertise with sectoral knowledge so that meaning survives the journey between languages.
Who we are
Professional. Confidential. Adaptable.
Over the years MAC has built a reputation for accurate, culturally contextualized language services in Amharic, English, French and other local and international languages. We partner with international organizations, embassies, NGOs, government institutions and the private sector.
Our interpreters work simultaneous and consecutive assignments for conferences, high-level policy dialogues and workshops. Alongside the booth, we provide document translation, research support, training and advisory services tailored to the brief.
Vision
The first call for multilingual rooms in the region.
To be the consultancy institutions trust when a summit, consultation or study must be understood in every language around the table.
Values
Accuracy, confidentiality, cultural fit.
We prepare terminology, respect embargoes, and staff teams who understand both the language pair and the sector in the room.
Why organizers choose MAC
What sets the firm apart.
Institutional memory
Assignments with the African Union, UNESCO, IGAD, GIZ, OSC, SAIIA, PIDA corridors and embassy programmes mean we already know the rhythm of those rooms.
Language combinations that matter here
English, Amharic, French, Arabic and Portuguese — plus other local and international languages — staffed by interpreters who live the region’s working languages.
More than the booth
Research, feasibility, training and advisory sit beside interpretation, so one firm can support a programme from workshop floor to final report.
