In the first two decades of the millennium, Ethiopia made significant strides in development, with improvements across various sectors highlighting the government’s dedication to improving the lives of its citizens. Between 2000 and 2020, for example, the poverty rate was nearly halved, dropping from 46% to 24% (United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Ethiopia, 2018; World Bank, 2021). Despite this rapid progress, Ethiopia remains one of the world’s poorest countries, ranking 176 out of 193 countries on the United Nations Human Development Index (UNDP, 2024).
