The Gates Foundation Praise Ethiopia’s Success on MDG
The Gates Foundation has released a report compiled by the Overseas Development Institute, titled: “One foot on the ground, one foot in the air” tracking Ethiopia’s development despite having the lowest human development in the 1990s. In the wake of massive agricultural investment, a sector which employs three in four Ethiopians and a government committed to pro-poor spending, the East African country is expected to halve its poverty. According to the report, the agricultural sector has cut poverty by seven per cent between 2005 and 2011.
