The most recommended time is "9:00-11:00"
9:00-11:00 is the best time to hold a meeting in Eritrea. This time overlaps with the start of regular business hours at many government offices and companies, and is the time when the work environment begins to be established. It is the time when employees begin to concentrate on their work in earnest, and their awareness and participation in the meeting are also good. In Eritrea, there is a culture that places special importance on the morning hours, and important discussions are often held during this time, which increases concentration on business topics.
In addition, the morning hours rarely overlap with family matters or religious prayer times, making it easy to concentrate on work. There are relatively few interruptions outside of work, such as phone calls or visitors, which allows for stable meeting management. In addition, it is before the daytime temperature rises, and there are fewer factors that affect movement from outdoors and communication equipment. By taking advantage of this time period when discussions are likely to be lively, consensus building on important decisions and progress on projects will proceed more smoothly.
