No results found.This brief summarize the findings of the report "Ten years of the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency – An FAO evaluation of the Agency’s impact on agricultural growth and poverty reduction". This evaluation finds that ATA has achieved many of the outcomes it is being measured against, in terms of input use, extension services, and agricultural technology. The outcomes observed point to the effective removal of bottlenecks in the rural agricultural economy that have improved the linkages between producers, input markets and agricultural services. The improvements in those priority areas are reflected in productivity gains for certain priority crops and in market orientation positions that confirm ATA’s effectiveness in connecting producers to markets. FAO’s evaluation finds positive macroeconomic effects from ATA interventions, helping to ameliorate the reduction in gross domestic product growth, and also supporting the development of agroindustry and transportation services. -

No results found.Through a rigorous, multi-stage analysis, the evidence generated by this corporate evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA)’s business plan for achieving measurable changes in Ethiopia’s agricultural sector, both at micro and macro levels. The assessment also identifies areas for renewed and refined emphasis, as well as strategic planning for the future planning and monitoring of ATA’s work.

Proceedings of the Technical Workshop on Improving the Natural Resources Base and Rural Well-being

No results found.The Ethiopian highlands comprise nearly 45 percent of the total land area and support over 85 percent of the country’s 64 million people that are overwhelmingly rural. The highlands are the centre of economic activity of the country and are characterized by enormous ecological, environmental, agricultural and cultural diversity. The Ethiopian highlands have also significant global environmental importance as being the source of some important transboundary rivers, notably the Blue Nile, and host a wide variety of flora and fauna that are rich in biodiversity. There is severe degradation of the natural resources base that is fundamental to the achievement of sustainable agriculture and rural development (SARD) and these highlands will not be able to produce and sustain livelihoods if the current trend of intensive cultivation, overgrazing and deforestation, soil erosion and soil fertility decline, lack of water control, shortage of livestock feed continue unabated. The Workshop was conducted in the Amhara Region in collaboration with the Amhara Regional Agricultural Research Institute (ARARI), which provides a classic representation of the challenges and the opportunities facing the Ethiopian highlands. The Workshop brought together leading Ethiopian and international experts from diverse institutions within and outside Ethiopia such as relevant government agencies, agricultural research institutes, universities, local non-governmental organizations, bilateral and multila teral agencies and the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). The Workshop identified key intervention areas that have both global and national significance in terms of improving the natural resources base, restoring ecosystem balance and enhancing food security and SARD.
