Focus on Ethiopia
Ethiopia is among the fastest-growing economies in Africa, yet it remains one of the poorest nations on the continent. The economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, which employs approximately 70% of the population. However, recurring natural disasters — including consecutive failed rainy seasons, flash floods, and locust invasions — continually devastate the country and have led to major food insecurity.
Current Challenges
Extreme PovertyApproximately 72% of the population are in multidimensional poverty.
Food InsecurityOver 10 million people are facing acute food insecurity, and 79.1 million people face moderate to severe food insecurity.
Environmental shocks The country is experiencing environmental shocks, including six consecutive failed rainy seasons in recent years.
