FAO has been working closely with the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) and other development partners in the fight against poverty in the country. More specifically, FAO has been supporting the Government’s efforts at combating hunger and malnutrition and will continue to provide such assistance with a view to achieving the primary goal of freeing Ethiopia from such food-related problems. FAO’s work is aimed at creating a situation where agriculture significantly contributes to the improveme nt of the livelihood of farmers, in general, and the living conditions of the poorest small holder farmers, women, children, youth and other marginalized segments of the society, in particular. FAO maintains the view that the agriculture sector can and should be used in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner to help improve the life of such vulnerable groups. The value of the present Country Programming Framework (CPF) document, which is coauthored by FAO and the GoE, lies in its role in sharpening FAO’s focus and guiding its efforts for the next four years (2012-2015).

The global and regional spread of plant pests and diseases has increased dramatically in recent years, threatening the food security and sustainable development of the Eastern African subregion This is the result of globalization, trade and climate change, as well as reduced resilience in food production systems due to decades of agricultural intensification If insufficient natural enemies or appropriate control measures are introduced, plant pests can easily spread over vast areas and reach epidemic proportions, causing significant losses to crops, pastures and forests, in turn endangering the livelihoods of vulnerable farmers, pastoralists and the food and nutrition security of millions of people Accidently introduced in Western Africa, the mango mealybug Rastrococcus invadens Williams Hemiptera Pseudoco ccidae represents a significant risk for the whole region, as its reach has been recorded in Central and Eastern Africa, with the first infected plants found in Rwanda Mango mealybug damage is caused by the accumulation of honeydew and sooty mould that impedes the photosynthetic capacity of the plant Heavily impacted plant parts stop growing, while in many cases no new leaves or flowers can be produced In severely affected areas, mango production was reduced by 89 100 percent.
