Published purpose
This is a multi-donor initiative supporting the strategies contained in Ethiopia’s rural development strategy, the “Plan for Accelerated and Sustained Development to End Poverty”. Implemented by the International Food Policy Research Institute and the Ethiopian Development Research Institute, the program works to accelerate agricultural growth, improve food security, and expand rural development by strengthening the ability of key government institutions to develop policies informed by evidence-based analysis. Given that 85% of Ethiopia's economy is based on agriculture, almost all research undertaken through this project relates to the agriculture sector.
