COUNTRY PROGRAMMING
FRAMEWORK
FOR ETHIOPIA
2022-2025
It is my pleasure to present the Country Programme Framework
for Ethiopia (CPF) for the period 2022-2025. The CPF outlines the
development priorities for collaboration between FAO and the
Government of Ethiopia, including its sectoral priorities in food and
agriculture as articulated in the Ten Year Government Development
plan to improve agriculture, food and nutrition security and livelihood
options by enhancing improving productivity, output, competitiveness,
and modernization along with enhancing market access, research,
extension and private sector participation.

The CPF builds on the lessons learned through its implementation

of the previous CPF (2016-2021) to deliver services to the people of
Ethiopia. The current CPF is closely aligned with the United Nations
Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSCDF)
from July 2020 to June 2025, reflecting the commitment of the
Government of Ethiopia and the United Nations to contribute to
national development priorities: (i) to accelerate the transition to a
more inclusive and diversified economy; (ii) tackle still stubbornly high
levels of multidimensional poverty, inequalities, social exclusion and marginalization; (iii) environmental
protection and climate change – a green economy that is resilient to growing risks; and (iv) inclusive
and gender responsive rural economic growth, livelihoods enhancement, and extreme poverty
eradication.

The CPF is framed within FAO’s Strategic Framework articulated through the Four Betters – Better
production, Better nutrition, Better environment and Better life, leaving no one behind. It expresses
FAO’s value-added and comparative advantage in contributing the associated Sustainable
Development Goals (SDG) targets.

With the active participation of key stakeholders, the CPF outlines FAO’s contribution to national
priorities through the four strategic outcomes, which we believe will contribute to the achievement
of the SDG. The first is prosperity - all people in Ethiopia benefit from an inclusive, resilient and
sustainable economy. The second strategic outcome is People - all people in Ethiopia enjoy the
rights and capabilities to realize their potential in equality and with dignity. Third, all people in Ethiopia
live in a society resilient to environmental risks and adapted to climate change. Last but not list
is inclusive and gender responsive rural economic growth, livelihoods enhancement, and extreme
poverty eradication.

iv Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025

The FAO Ethiopia CPF has been informed by the participation and close consultation with the
government and non-state actors at all levels. The CPF also has built-in flexibility to accommodate
future shocks and the implementation of it will contribute to a robust and resilient food system by
building back better.

Key to the CPF is strengthened partnerships – FAO is committed to deepening existing ones, while
expanding the partnership base during the process of implementing the CPF to leverage further
capacities and resources, to benefit from their comparative advantage for FAO Ethiopia to implement
more sustainable and effective interventions.

I therefore wish to thank our various partners particularly the Government of Ethiopia for your key
role in the formulation of the CPF. In conclusion, I would like to invite all our stakeholders to join us to
implement the priorities highlighted herein.

Thank you

1. INTRODUCTION
The United Nations (UN) system in Ethiopia
pledges to work in support of the Government of
Ethiopia (GoE) to meet the country’s development
priorities through the United Nations Sustainable
Development Cooperation Framework (UNCDF)
for the period of July 2020 to June 2025. UNCDF
is the result of a series of consultations carried
out by the various members of the UN family
in Ethiopia, government and non-governmental
partners, and the private sector to ensure that
it reflects national priorities. The UN in Ethiopia
has identified national priorities as demonstrated
under section 2.2 of this document. The
2. COUNTRY CONTEXT ANALYSIS
Ethiopia has been recording substantial
economic growth, poverty reduction and
expansion of democratic space. Annual real
gross domestic product (GDP) growth averaged
9.5 percent during the period 2010 to 2018.
This led to a six-fold increase in the per capita
income. The multidimensional poverty index fell
in absolute terms from 0.545 to 0.489 between
2011 and 2016. The incidence of poverty
declined from 38.7 percent in 2005 to 23.5
percent in 2016, equivalent to lifting 15 million
people out of poverty (CCA, 2020). According
to the World Bank Poverty Assessment Report
(2014), the progress was uneven between urban
and rural areas. The study noted that, given the
dominance of agriculture in the lives of poor
people, future poverty reduction would be driven
by improvements in this sector.
Despite the improvements, food insecurity
remains a major challenge. Ethiopia is the largest
recipient of food aid (as a country) in the world
(WFP, 2013, 2021), and the number of beneficiaries
and area coverage has increased over the years.
1 Joint UN analysis team: Resilience
Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025
priorities are consistent with Common Country
Assessment (CCA) analysis on progress made
towards the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) in Ethiopia.
Therefore, the support areas of the Country
Programming Framework (CPF) - Ethiopia are
aligned with strategic priorities of UNCDF in
Ethiopia, FAO’s Strategic Framework, priorities
of the Government of Ethiopia, and lesson
learned through implementation of the previous
CPF (2016-2021). CPF priorities are established
through a series of consultations with concerned
stakeholders at all levels.
Some eight million people currently receive food
assistance through the Productive Safety Net
Programme (PSNP). In addition, up to 10 million
people require emergency food assistance each
year (CCA, 2020). Ethiopian diets are particularly
low in chicken, fruits, vegetables, and red meat.
On average, adults consume less than two out
of 10 food groups, while children under five
consume less than two out of seven food groups
(CCA, 2020).
The dominant subsistence farming practices
are highly prone to climate change and weather
adversity, such as droughts and floods, which
have been recurrent over the last one to two
decades. A moderate drought in Ethiopia reduces
growth in agricultural incomes by 15 percent on
average and increases poverty by 13.5 percent.1
Among the major causes of rural poverty and
food insecurity in Ethiopia are shrinking farm
sizes, land degradation, increasing incidences
of drought, regular and migratory pests, post-
harvest losses, and inadequate supply of
1
improved varieties and technologies. According
to CCA 2020, the number of farmers cultivating
0.6 ha or less of land increased from 55.5
percent in 2005/6 to 62.8 percent in 2015/16
due to high population growth rate, restrictive
land policies, and lack of alternative livelihood
opportunities. Ethiopia’s rural non-farm economy
is underdeveloped. Non-farm income accounts
for only 11 percent of the total income, one of
the lowest in Africa. Ethiopia is also one of the
least urbanized countries in East Africa (OECD,
2020).
In Ethiopia, the area covered with certified seeds
is 55 percent for maize, seven percent for wheat,
two percent for teff and barley, and less than
one percent for sorghum, millet, pulses and oil
seeds. The vegetable seeds are all imported
commercial seeds. Root and tuber crops are
all quality declared informal seeds. The use of
agrochemicals such as pesticide has increased
but covered only about 34 percent of the area
under cereals in 2017/18 (Central Statistics
Agency (CSA), 2018) and there are serious
quality and safety concerns.
Ethiopia has the largest livestock population in
Africa, with 65 million cattle, 40 million sheep,
51 million goats, eight million camels, and 49
million chickens in 2020 (CSA, 2020). However,
the benefits the country gets from its huge
livestock resources is minimal. For instance,
Ethiopians consume fewer dairy products than
other African countries and far less than that of
the world consumption. The national average
per capita consumption of milk was estimated at
19 kg/year compared to 27 kg for other African
countries and 100 kg to the world per capita
consumption (Vernooij et al., 2010). Among
the major constraints of the livestock sector
are shortage of feed resources, drought, poor
husbandry and biosecurity systems for livestock
and poultry, and limited veterinary services
coverage. The use of new forage species (e.g.
Brachiaria grass) is limited (Wubetie et al.,
2018). Stall feeding is not practiced although it
is shown to increase milk production, increase
manure use, reduce animal diseases, reduce
labour for livestock herding (allowing children to
2 Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025
go to school), increase the chances of adopting
improved breeds, and encourage tree planting
(as damage through animal trampling is avoided).
Livestock diseases are a significant challenge;
91 percent of all ailments identified are reported
to be communicable diseases consisting of
bacterial, viral, protozoal and parasitic infections
(Getachew et al., 2018). Improper antimicrobials
use (AMU) practices have also resulted in
antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Among the key missing elements in transforming
agricultural and rural development are effective
policy environment and governance systems.
Good policies are central and need to be
developed and implemented in an environment
where good governance and institutions
allow a well-functioning relationship between
the government, the private sector, and civil
society (UNSDCF, 2020, Outcome 2). In
Ethiopia, policies, public resource allocations,
and governance systems need to encourage
long-term investment, promote efficient and
sustainable use of resources, allow stakeholder
participation, and ensure coordination,
transparency, and accountability. A case in
point is the land policy. Despite the recent land
certification programmes, tenure insecurity
and underdeveloped land markets continue to
cause fragmentation and discourage long-term
investment (CCA, 2020).
Ethiopia is yet to put in place sound irrigation
systems and practices, build a dynamic
agricultural research and development (R&D),
support efficient input and output markets, and
foster trade competitiveness by putting in place
appropriate regulatory mechanism that ensure
quality and health of products. Small-scale
farmer-led irrigation where farmers themselves
drive the establishment, improvement, and/
or expansion of irrigated agriculture seldom
benefit from technical/technological and financial
support. A national irrigation development policy
and strategy has yet to be finalized and the
capacity of the country to design and implement
irrigation projects remains weak (Ministry of
Agriculture (MOA), 2020).

especially for penicillin and amoxicillin, in animal

levels call for effective policy and intervention
measures, which best address the problem along
the food chain through a One Health approach
(Biruk et al., 2021).

The 2015 Government’s Seqota Declaration, a

multisector commitment to end stunting by the
year 2030, is underway and policy developments
and implementation plans have picked up the
pace only recently. In 2019, the Government
of Ethiopia (GoE) developed a National Food
and Nutrition Policy (NFNP) that puts emphasis
on the food system approach. It included
the establishment of a governance structure
- the National Food and Nutrition Council
and governing agency, to provide leadership
and multi-sectoral coordination (Scaling Up
Nutrition, 2020). In 2021, the GoE developed
the food system transformation plan for a holistic
revitalization of the food systems with a focus on
enhanced food safety, healthy and sustainable
diets for all. Because of the recent conflict,
external support is expected to play a key role in
realizing the vision of the NFNP.

poverty in rural areas. The Government is however
concerned with the speed of implementation. The
main concern is around the slow pace at which
production and productivity hence marketable
surplus is being improved.
Therefore, even if Ethiopia’s economic growth
has been remarkable, the country still faces
substantial development challenges in general,
and within the Agricultural sector in particular.
The CPF development process fully takes into
account the following national development
priorities:
• Accelerate the transition to a more inclusive
and diversified economy;
• Tackle still stubbornly high levels of
multidimensional poverty, inequalities,
social exclusion and marginalization;
• Environmental protection and climate
change-A green economy that is resilient
to growing risks; and
2.1 Theory of Change
The overarching national vision of the United
Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation
Framework (UNSDCF) Ethiopia is to help ensure
that: All people, especially those most vulnerable,
have access to quality services, knowledge and
skills, decent employment opportunities and
space for the exercise and enjoyment of their
rights in a society that is peaceful, inclusive,
sustainable and resilient. To achieve this whilst
addressing national priorities, the UNSDCF is
guided by a theory of change that focusses on
enabling and accelerating four critical transitions:
i. DEMOGRAPHIC - supporting the transition
and tapping the opportunity of demographic
dividend that rests on unlocking the full
potential of the youth;
ii. GOVERNANCE - moving towards a more
democratic, peaceful and inclusive society,
and creating space for civil society and the
private sector;
4 Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025
• Inclusive and gender responsive rural
economic growth, livelihoods enhancement,
and extreme povety eradication.
The CPF also considered the sectorial priorities
of the ten-year Government plan. These include:
• Improve income and livelihood options for
farming and pastoral commnities through in
creased productivity and competitiveness;
• Climate-resilient sustainable agricultural
develoment;
• Make agriculture a viable and profitable
enterprise through value addition;
• Create rural employment opportunities;
• Enhance livestock health access and
quality;
• Improve the development of animal fee and
access to markets; and
• Promote private participation.
iii. ECONOMIC - accelerating the transformation
from a State dominant development model
into a competitive, private sector driven
market economy; and
iv. ENVIRONMENTAL - strengthening and
building resilient systems and communities
to speed up progress towards a green
economy.
FAO in Ethiopia will contribute to the attainment
of the UNSDCF through the achievement of the
following four focus areas:
i. Innovative approaches to promote sustainable
crop, livestock, fisheries/ aquaculture, and
forestry production systems adopted;
ii. Safe, nutrition-sensitive, and climate-
resilient food systems to end hunger,
achieve food security and improve nutrition
strengthened;
 iii. Enhanced natural resource management and agricultural production system to protect, restore
and promote sustainable use of ecosystems; and
iv. Inclusive and gender responsive economic growth, livelihoods enhancement, and extreme
poverty eradication.

To achieve the outcomes, FAO Ethiopia will expand its support to the GoE, mainly in the form of
normative support, as well as providing advice and assistance for uptake of knowledge, technologies,
and good practices. FAO will focus on transformative partnerships with the United Nations Country
team, Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), regional trade bodies,
development partners, producer organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, Civil Society
Organizations, private sector, and academic and research institutions to expand its operations.

2.2 Strategic priorities
Consistent with its focus on critical transitions
and the Common Country Assessment analysis
on progress made towards the 2030 Agenda
and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
in Ethiopia, the United Nations (UN) in Ethiopia
has identified four priorities:
i. People (PEO): Assist the Government to
tackle multidimensional poverty by focusing
on support to youth, women and girls;
ii. Prosperity (PRS): Work towards acceler-
ating the transition to a more inclusive and
diversified economy (post COVID-19) by
creating an enabling environment to attract
investments and create decent jobs that
ensure social protection;
iii. Democracy, Justice and Peace
(DJP):Support the country to establish and
develop the core institutions of democratic
governance systems that respect human
rights, ensure participation in political
and civic life, and help create peaceful
environment for sustainable development;
iv. Environmental Protection and
ClimateChange (EPCC): Assist Ethiopia to
progress rapidly towards a green economy
that is resilient to the effects of climate
change and other risks.
The FAO Strategic Framework seeks to support
the 2030 Agenda of member countries such as
Ethiopia through the transformation to MORE
efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable,
agrifood systems for better production, better
nutrition, a better environment, and a better life,
leaving no one behind. The Strategic Framework
includes 20 Programme Priority Areas (PPAs),
which articulate FAO’s value-added and
comparative advantage in contributing to
8 Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025
medium-term Outcomes and associated SDG
targets identified for specific attention by FAO, in
order to meet the four betters (Annex III).
The four Betters (better production, better
nutrition, a better environment, and a better life)
together with the 20 PPAs and the embedded
cross-cutting themes of gender, youth and
inclusion, are well placed to support UN
Ethiopia achieve its priority goals of tackling
multidimensional poverty, ending food insecurity,
reducing inequality, protecting the environ-ment,
and overcoming the effects of climate change.
The UN in Ethiopia and FAO priorities are aligned
with the priorities of the Government in food
and agriculture as articulated in the Ten Year’s
Development Plan:
i. Improve income and livelihood options for
farming and pastoral communities through
increased productivity and competitiveness;
ii. Modernize agriculture and ensure national
food and nutrition security;
iii. Raise export of agricultural output and
substitute imports;
iv. Make agriculture a viable and profitable
enterprise through value addition;
v. Create rural employment opportunities;
vi. Enhance livestock and aquatic animal health
by engaging the private sector;
vii. Preserve animal genetic resources and
increase pastoral research;
viii. Improve the development of animal feed
and access to markets; and
ix. Develop livestock specific extension pack-
age for each livestock type.
2.3. Intended development results
The support areas of the Country Programming
Framework (CPF) Ethiopia are aligned with FAO’s
Strategic Framework, Strategic priorities of
UNSDCF Ethiopia, priorities of the Government
of Ethiopia, and consultations with concerned
stakeholders. The key focus areas of the country’s
development plan for ten years (2020-2030) are
elaborated in the Homegrown Economic Reform
Agenda: A Path Way to Prosperity document.
The plan has proposed several policies,
institutional and regulatory reforms to the food
and agriculture sector which are aligned with
the FAO’s normative work, advice and support
for uptake of knowledge, technologies and
good practices. FAO has the technical expertise
and global knowledge to contribute to the
ongoing effort to reform key thematic and sub-
sector frameworks, necessary for sustainable
development.
The draft ARDS has not given sufficient attention
to issues such as nutrition and nutrition-sensitive
agriculture, governance systems, stakeholder
participation, inter-governmental and inter-
sectoral coordination, agricultural knowledge
and information management, and sustainable
production in marginal and drought-prone areas.
The scope of the draft is limited, especially when
considered against the broad and inclusive SDG
framework. Neither the ‘Home-grown Economic
Reform Agenda- A Pathway to Prosperity’
(a whitepaper published in 2019 to provide
broad policy directions) nor the Ten-Year Plan
explicitly mentions the SDGs or other regional or
continental commitments such as the ‘Agenda
2063’ of the African Union.
The support areas of FAO-Ethiopia comprise of
CPF priority outcomes and CPF outputs that
correspond to the new FAO budgetary chapter
structures and PPAs that effectively support the
delivery of the four Betters. Once the CPF is
agreed and signed, FAO Ethiopia will have the
opportunity to create awareness and support
the Government to explicitly focus on SDGs
that the CPF contributes to. Outputs are aligned
with PPAs and specific SDG targets (see Result
Framework, Annex 1)
Each priority outcome has identified several
CPF outputs that are aligned with the PPAs
and associated SDG Targets. Analysis of the
challenges, the root causes and best practices
from different countries have informed the
different normative and other support work
contained in the CPF activities/ targets. These
activities often involve advising the relevant
government institution to reform its policies
and revisit its resource allocation patterns.
In developing this CPF, ideas and proposals
gathered through exchanges with staff of FAO,
Ministry of Agriculture and other government
partners have been considered. Moreover, the
experiences gained and lessons learned from
completed and ongoing FAO projects have
provided valuable inputs.
The Four CPF Outcomes are generally structured
based on UNSDCF outcomes and are taken
verbatim from the UNCDF (2021-2025).

Output 1 Prosperity-All people in Ethiopia benefit from an inclusive, resilient and

sustainable economy.
Output 2 People-All people in Ethiopia enjoy the rights and capabilities to realize their
potential in equality and with dignity.
Output 3 All people in Ethiopia live in a society resilient to environmental risks and
adapted to climate change.
Output 4 Inclusive and gender responsive rural economic growth, livelihoods
enhancement, and extreme poverty eradication.

2.4 CPF outcomes and outputs
Outcome One: Prosperity-All people
in Ethiopia benefit from an inclusive, resilient
and sustainable economy
The CPF outputs of Outcome One (Figure) are
designed to channel FAO’s technical assistance2
towards improving the policy, governance
and institutional environment, and promoting
technological and institutional innovations to
achieve a sustainable increase in diversified and
nutritious food and agricultural production and
productivity. Ongoing efforts to develop a new
strategy, reform the land tenure and introduce
a comprehensive land use plan need FAO’s
technical expertise and capacity building support
(Output 1.1). Bridging the gaps in sectoral and
thematic policies/strategies, including extension
and advisory services and input supply policies,
is part of the institutional innovation necessary
to drive sustainable and diversified intensification
in the food and agricultural sector. The technical
support includes advising and supporting the
Government to initiate integrated planning and
budgeting systems that includes a Woreda
Integrated Development Plans (WIDP). The
plans need to be based on good practices
and packages in sustainable production, local
challenges of both rural and urban communities,
and ongoing efforts to develop contingency
and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) plans. The
WIDP will be risk-informed and risk-sensitive.
The contingency and DRR of the WIDP will also
integrate and contribute to Humanitarian and
Peace interventions into the planning as a way of
working on the continuum of the humanitarian-
development and peace nexus and embedding
long-term resilience building.
In the context of promoting innovations,
technical support to sustainable agricultural
mechanization including proactive farmer-led
irrigation and special production is proposed for
drought-prone areas to end chronic dependence
on food aid and animal feed (Output 1.2). This
2 Technical assistance is defined as ‘knowledge-based assistance to governments intended to shape policies and institutions, support implementation and build
organizational capacity.’ See: https://www.shareweb.ch/site/DDLGN/Documents/OSF-Technical%20Assistance Jan-2019-Edited.pdf
Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025
special package that includes quality crop and
feed seeds and livestock breeds and climate-
smart agronomic practices is expected to drive
technological innovations necessary for a quick
recovery and rehabilitation of regions affected by
the current conflict and recurring drought.
Capacities of public and private institutions to
use innovative digital approaches to improve
sustainable food systems will be enhanced.
FAO will support the preparation of advocacy
materials (e.g. brochures/ leaflets, workshop/
seminar presentations, newspaper articles) for
increased allocation of budget to the Ethiopian
Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR), Regional
Agricultural Research Institutions (RARIs), and
university research. The resources will facilitate
the re-engagement of senior researchers, and
realignment of budgets to ensure balance
between capital and recurrent expenditure in
agricultural research, education and extension
activities (Output 1.3). As shown in Annex I,
FAO technical support will be directed towards
strengthening the capacity of the national and
regional agricultural research and education
system to focus on technological, institutional,
and green innovations for climate-smart and
nutrition-sensitive agriculture and strengthening
agricultural education and training institutions,
among others. FAO will also provide technical
support on digitalization for agriculture (D4Ag)
for better production, efficient post-harvest
operations and transformation of business
models and practices across the agricultural
value chain (productivity, post-harvest handling,
market access, finance, and supply chain
management).
Support to agricultural information management
systems will be provided to ensure that policy
makers, planners, monitoring and evaluation staff,
and economic players as well as technical staff at all
levels have access to reliable and timely information
(Output 1.4). The Central Statistical Agency (CSA)
11
of Ethiopia needs technical support to probe its
data quality and data collection methods of crop
area and production statistics. FAO’s capacity
development support will be directed towards data
collection, analysis and dissemination of relevant
data/information at disaggregated territorial level
for crops including rain-fed and irrigated crops,
livestock and forestry with linkage to the Hand-in-
Hand Initiative (HiH) geospatial platform. Support
will also include strengthening/ establishing an
agricultural knowledge and information sharing
platform. FAO will support the country to adopt
an Agricultural Model to expand the scope of the
two main production surveys (Agricultural Sample
Survey (AgSS) and CFS) to urban agriculture and
nomadic livestock. In addition, the surveys will
test and adopt thematic additions, such as post-
harvest losses and agricultural environment and
machinery.
It will also support strengthening mechanisms
for sharing of epidemiological surveillance data
and laboratory information across sectors
and borders to anticipate, prevent, detect and
respond, and mitigate risks of emerging plant,
animal and foodborne disease outbreaks and
AMR.
Promoting sustainable crop, livestock, fisheries/
aquaculture, and forestry production systems
is strongly related to the current GoE efforts
to modernize the agriculture sector through
agro-industrialization. FAO will support Global
Immersion Experience (GIE) to develop and
promote mechanisms to increase market surplus
required by the agro-industries, while at the
same time addressing poverty, malnutrition and
inequality among households located within the
Integrated Agro Commodity Procurement.

FAO will provide technical support to the
Government to develop and implement an
integrated One Health system strategy to
prevent and control major animal and plant
pests and diseases in general and zoonotic
diseases and AMR in particular. Through the
Global Framework for the Progressive Control
of Transboundary Animal Diseases (GF-TADs),
FAO will support the control of diseases like
peste des petits ruminants (PPR), sheep and
goat pox (SGP), Lumpy Skin Disease, African
swine fever (ASF), among others. FAO will
support the control of bacterial, viral, fungal and
parasitic animal and plant diseases, as well as
integrated pest management, early warning and
management of national and global health risks,
including fall armyworm, locusts , (Output 1.5).
Box 1: Outcome One- CPF Outputs
Zones (IACPZs) that have not yet benefited
from the national agro-industrial strategy and
linkages to Integrated Agro-Industrial Parks.
FAO will contribute to acceleration of agricultural
commercialisation through the development of
inclusive and sustainable agricultural value chains
for priority commodities. Technical and financial
support will be availed to achieve implementation
of ACPZs investment plan targeting to increase
production, improve market commercialization
and institutional strengthening.
FAO will also create more awareness and build
capacities for sound data collection and analytical
tools that are at the foundation of improved
prioritisation of investments by both the public
and private sector that will have transformative
impacts within identified territories.

Output 1.1: Development, review and implementation of policies, strategies, action plans, pro grammes
and implementation mechanisms related to inclusive agrifood systems sup ported.
Output 1.2: Access to innovation, new technology and finance is increased to foster adoption of climate
change adaptation and mitigation strategies.
Output 1.3: Improved decision-making and investment prioritization tools available and in use resulting
from the use of HiH products.
Output 1.4: Digitalization for agriculture (D4Ag) and Agricultural information management system (AIMS)
strengthened.
Output 1.5: One Health systems for human, animal, plant and environmental health strengthened.

12 Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025

Outcome Two: People-All people in
Ethiopia enjoy the rights and capabilities to
realize their potential in equality and with dignity
The CPF outputs of Outcome Two (Box 2) are
proposed to end hunger, achieve food security and
improve nutrition by supporting improved policy
environment and governance structures, reducing
food loss and waste, improving agricultural
markets and institutions, and promoting regional
integration and increased international trade.
FAO will support the coordination of food and
nutrition interventions (Output 2.1). This will
be done through the development/review of
policies, strategies and related frameworks and
governance structures for food security and
nutrition to promote safe and healthy food. A
high-level multi-sectoral coordination structure
is needed to end uncoordinated response to
food and nutrition issues, and FAO will share
good country practices in the ongoing effort to
establish and operationalize the National Food
and Nutrition Council (NFNC), preferably under
the Office of the Prime Minister. A similar Food
and Nutrition Committee at Woreda level will
complement the Federal Level Coordination.
FAO has the technical capacity and knowledge
to assist the government in implementing food
loss and waste management policies/ strategies
and regulatory frameworks. This will be done
through promoting technologies and practices
for improved food handling capacity, improving
coordination and strengthening public-private
partnership, and supporting funding options to
enable purchase of Post-Harvest Loss solutions
and processing technologies (Output 2.2). FAO
technical support to improve agricultural markets
and institutions such as grades and standards,
agricultural market information systems, contract
farming, e-commerce, the Ethiopian Commodity
Exchange (ECX) and warehouse receipt systems
(WRSs) by sharing international good practices
will have a major impact on producers’ incentives
to intensify production (Output 2.3).
FAO will provide support to reduce trade
distortions that have undermined the incentive
to invest in agriculture. Ethiopia’s trade policies
require improvement and FAO’s support is critical
in promoting regional integration and increasing
trade to benefit from the new trade environment
under The Common Market for Eastern and
Southern Africa (COMESA-FTA)3 (which Ethiopia
is a member but has yet to ratify the FTA), the
Tripartite FTA,4 the AfCFTA,5 and Ethiopia’s
accession to the World Trade Organization
(WTO) (under negotiation). Technical support
will include developing a strategy for regional
market integration and harmonizing regulatory
standards and certification. The country needs
advice on harmonizing relevant market norms,
including commodity grades and standards,
traceability, storage, quality specifications,
insurance systems, WRS and environmental
norms for regional trade to ensure that these
norms comply with Codex.6

Box 2: Outcome Two- CPF Outputs

Output 2.1: Coordination of food and nutrition interventions enhanced.

Output 2.2: Capacities of public and private extension agencies to promote post-harvest loss, food loss
and waste (FLW) Nutrition Sensitive Agriculture, technologies and practices strengthened.
Output 2.3: Measures to improve access to regional and global agricultural markets strengthened.

3 The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, Free Trade Area (COMESA-FTA)
4 The Tripartite Free Trade Area (TFTA) group, which brings together Member/Partner States of COMESA, the East African Community (EAC) and the
Southern Africa Development Community (SADC), is in the process of ratification by member countries to enter into force (need a threshold of 14
ratifications).
5 The Agreement establishing the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) was signed in March 2018, (three years after the TFTA) and entered into force
on 30 May 2019 after attaining the threshold ratification of 24 countries.
6 The Codex Alimentarius Commission of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organiza-tion (WHO), the
ISO, the International Organization for Standardization and the IPPC, the International Plant Protection Convention.

Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025 13

Outcome Three: All people in Ethiopia
live in a society resilient to environmental risks
and adapted to climate change.
CPF outputs of Outcome Three (Box 3) focus on
enhancing the management of natural resources
and agricultural production systems to ensure
sustainable use of ecosystems. FAO will lead the
technical support to strengthen and consolidate
policies, regulatory frameworks, and operational
guidelines for sustainable use of ecosystems. FAO
will support capacity strengthening to investigate
environmental crimes, prosecute offenders,
and enforce environmental laws (Output
3.1). An adequate number of environmental
inspectors and a police unit under Environmental
Protection Authority (EPA), similar to the National
Environment Management Authority (NEMA) of
Kenya7 are required.
FAO will propose the development of a long-term
(e.g. 30 years in Kenya) National Spatial Plan
highlighting the protection of rich agricultural
land, conservation of identified environmentally
sensitive areas, urban containment, urban and
territorial planning, and promotion of industrial
development, among others. To complete the
planning process, FAO will propose and support
selected Woreda administrations to develop a ten-
year Woreda Spatial Plan, based on the National
Spatial Plan and Geographic Information System
(GIS)-based database system that facilitates
the development of a well-balanced system of
settlements. The systems will include, among
others: zoning of urban-versus-rural areas;
public facilities and private home developments;
industrial areas and energy projects that supply
Box 3: Outcome Three - CPF Outputs
them and ensure productive use of scarce land,
water and other resources.
FAO will provide technical support in mainstreaming
the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC),
National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and the Climate
Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) into the new
Agriculture and Rural Development Strategy
and other strategies and policies to make the
sector resilient to climate change and extreme
weather events (Output 3.2). The technical
support will also include: (i) the protection and
re-establishment of forests for their economic
and ecosystem services; (ii) the establishment of
effective institutions and governance structures;
and (iii) the strengthening of capacities of
targeted stakeholders to carry out inventories,
assessments, monitoring and reporting of natural
resources, as part of the Natural Resource
Accounting (NRA) management tool.
Given that Ethiopia is one of the most biodiversity-
rich countries in the world, FAO will support
the strengthening of capacity and creation of
awareness on the role of biodiversity for food and
agriculture, and sustainable use, conservation,
and restoration of ecosystems (Output 3.3).
FAO will provide technical support: (i) reviewing
and updating the National Biodiversity Strategy
Action Plan; (ii) providing technical support to the
Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute (EBI) to strengthen
its revised National Biodiversity Strategy and
Action Plan (NBSAP); (iii) supporting the EBI and
MoA to maintain the genetic diversity of seeds,
cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated
animals and their related wild species; and (iv)
supporting the review and harmonization of
existing biodiversity related laws, regulations.

Output 3.1: Development, review and implementation of policies, regulatory frameworks & guide lines for
sustainable use of ecosystem and biodiversity supported.
Output 3.2: Normative frameworks, institutions and systems strengthened for conservation, sus tainable
use and equitable benefit sharing from the use of biodiversity and natural resources.
Output 3.3: Capacity of public, private institutions and communities to protect, restore and pro mote
sustainable use of ecosystems enhanced.

Outcome Four: Inclusive and gender
responsive rural economic growth, livelihoods
enhancement, and extreme poverty eradication
The Outputs of Outcome Four (Box 4) are about
inclusive growth and transformation of rural
areas, leaving no one behind. In addition to
being marginalised because of gendered norms,
rural women are often more marginalised when
it comes to accessing resources and services
such as land, financial services and extension
services. FAO will provide technical support in
the economic empowerment of rural women
through decent work and access to markets
(Output 4.1). The support will include reviewing
policies and strengthening the implementation
capacity on gender-sensitive value chains to give
women in farming and pastoral communities’
equal rights to economic resources. FAO will
also support institutional reforms that enhance
women’s agency, voice and leadership in rural
producer associations, financial cooperatives
and unions by ensuring their full participation and
ensuring that policies and guidelines recognize
gender inequalities.
An important element of the inclusive rural growth is
the promotion of producer groups/ cooperatives,
women and youth groups, agripreneurship, agri-
Agri-Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises
(MSMEs) and improved access to electricity
(rural electrification) for inclusive transformation
of rural areas. FAO will support the strengthening
of inter-sectoral coordination, the development
of a new cooperative policy and regulatory
frameworks (International Cooperative Alliance
and EU, 2021; Dagne et al., 2017). In addition,
an MSME strategy to address both supply (e.g.
lack of access to finance, electricity) and demand
(limited number of people with purchasing power,
low prices) constraints, and ensure alignment
with increasing agricultural productivity and
income (to address demand constraints) (Output
4.2). Furthermore, social protection programs
and systems will be enhanced to ensure that no
one is left behind. Safety net programmes, mainly
the PSNP and emergency relief operations,
require a new approach to lift beneficiaries out
Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025
of chronic dependence on food aid. FAO will
advise safety net programmes to be effectively
combined with support services to ensure
graduation out of food insecurity, malnutrition,
unhealthy and unbalanced diet. FAO will assist
the strengthening of the capacity of the NFNC
members to adopt anticipatory actions, which
monitor shocks and systematically link early
warnings to actions designed to protect families
and their assets against hazard and build
resilience to future shocks.
Once an effective strategy is in place, FAO will
support selected cooperatives, women and youth
groups and MSMEs engaged in input marketing
(agrodealers), extension and advisory services,
agronomic services (e.g. rental pumping and
threshing services, soil testing), contract farming,
and agroprocessing that have direct and indirect
impact on agricultural productivity.
Since Ethiopia is one of the beneficiaries of the
Hand in Hand initiative (HiH), FAO will develop a
comprehensive HiH Programme Investment Plan
(PIP) to guide multi-partner collaboration. The
Plan will mobilize the whole of FAO to strengthen
existing international cooperation and fill the void
where it is absent using data and tools to identify
where investments could have the most impact
(Output 4.2). Using a multi-dimensional GIS data
platform that visualizes economic, statistical and
geospatial analyses, a better-targeted and more
effective programming for rural transformation
will be developed. Furthermore, a robust HiH
programme dashboards will be developed for
improved evidence-based policy development,
coordination, and implementation. By deploying
information technology enabled dashboards, the
HiH programme will improve transparency and
facilitate advocacy and communications among
partners and stakeholders.
The programme will focus on developing
capacities of key stakeholders to generate
information design and implement food security,
livelihood and disaster risk management
programmes (Output 4.3). This is critical for the
attainment of the outcome.

3. IMPLEMENTATION
3.1 Governance and joint work plans
The United Nations (UN) system in Ethiopia
pledges to work in support of the Government of
Ethiopia (GoE) to meet the country’s development
priorities through the United Nations Sustainable
Development Cooperation Framework (UNCDF)
for the period of July 2020 to June 2025. UNCDF
is the result of a series of consultations carried
out by the various members of the UN family in
Ethiopia, government and non-governmental
partners, and the private sector to ensure that
it reflects national priorities. The UN in Ethiopia
has identified national priorities as demonstrated
under section 2.2 of this document. The priorities
3.2 Partnership
The MoA, representing the GoE, is the main
partner in developing and implementing the
CPF 2022 – 2025. The Regional Bureaus of
Agriculture (RBAs) are key counterparts in
the implementing the CPF. Other government
partners with a significant role in the broad-based
transformative partnership and implementation
of the comprehensive CPF are Ministries of
Health, Education, Water and Energy, Irrigation
and Lowland Areas Development, Industry,
Trade and Regional Integration, Transport and
Logistics, Innovation and Technology, Women
and Social Affairs, Planning and Development,
and Finance. Among government agencies with
equally important role are: Ethiopian Institute
of Agricultural Research (EIAR), Regional
Agricultural Research Bureaus/ Institutes, Central
Statistical Agency (CSA), Ethiopian Standards
Agency (ESA), the ECX and the Agricultural
Transformation Institute (ATI). Civil society, NGOs
and private sector organizations also have a
direct and critical role in all the activities of the
CPF. Relevant universities and think tanks will
be identified to collaborate with the FAO and the
Government and provide evidence-based policy
and technical information.
Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025
are consistent with Common Country Assessment
(CCA) analysis on progress made towards the
2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) in Ethiopia. Therefore, the support
areas of the Country Programming Framework
(CPF) - Ethiopia are aligned with strategic priorities
of UNCDF in Ethiopia, FAO’s Strategic Framework,
priorities of the Government of Ethiopia, and
lesson learned through implementation of the
previous CPF (2016-2021). CPF priorities are
established through a series of consultations with
concerned stakeholders at all levels.
As a key member of the UN Country team, FAO
Ethiopia is expected to report, in partnership with
other UN agencies. As outlined in the UNSDCF,
FAO will jointly report on some indicators
with United Nations Industrial Development
Organization (UNIDO), United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), United
Nations International Children’s Emergency
Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Population Fund
(UNFPA), International Labour Organization (ILO),
World Food Programme (WFP), United Nations
Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat),
UN Women, United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP), International Organization for
Migration (IOM), International Fund for Agricultural
Development (IFAD), United Nations Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA),
World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations
Office for Project Services (UNOPS), Office of the
United Nations High Commissioner for Human
Rights (OHCHR) on a number of outputs and
performance indicators of Outcome One (People),
Two (Democracy Justice and Peace), Three
(Prosperity) and Four (Environment Protection and
Climate Change). FAO Ethiopia has collaborated
with the World Bank and other financial institutions
such as the African Development Bank (ADB).
17
In terms of normative and related support works,
the country office will continue to benefit from its
close partnership with the technical officers of the
Sub regional Office for Eastern Africa (SFE), the
Regional Office for Africa (RAF) in Accra, Ghana,
and the Headquarters in Rome, Italy. FAO will
3.3 Financing outlook and funding opportunities
The estimated resource requirements for the
implementation of the proposed activities in the
CPF will be USD 180 million over the four-year
implementation period. Out of this, USD 26 534
249 has already been mobilized through bilateral
and multilateral funding windows and FAO’s
own Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP).
These resources are being used to address
various themes: plant pests (notably desert
locusts); Food Production; Information Systems,
and Irrigation; Livestock Production and Animal
health; Policy; Post-Harvest Management; and
Emergency and Humanitarian Interventions.
The FAO Ethiopia Country Office has 18 and
16 ongoing emergency and development
projects respectively. The programme is being
funded from multiple sources such as voluntary
contributions of UN Trust Funds (UTF), FAO
Technical Assistant (GCP), FAO’s TCP, and
other UN partnership programmes (UTF and
Central Emergency Relief Funds). Currently,
FAO Ethiopia is collaborating with the following
resource partners: the Gov-ernments of Belgium,

build capacity, adapt and use different norms,
standards and guidelines, and data and statistics
required to achieve SDGs related to food and
agriculture.
Canada, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Italy and
Korea. In addition, FAO Ethiopia country office
is also collaborating with the European Union,
MasterCard, UNDP and UNOCHA.
The funding gap of USD 153 465 751 is
expected to be mobilized during the four-year
implementation period of the CPF from the
current and other potential partners. In line with
the priorities set in this CPF, FAO will explore
avenues to strengthen partnership with the
current resource partners. FAO will use internal
resources from the TCP to catalyze further
support from resource partners. In addition,
FAO will increasingly engage the private sector,
to leverage further financial resources, benefit
from their comparative advantage and design
and implement more sustainable and effective
interventions. The support from the private
sector may not necessarily cash but ‘in-kind’
contributions, i.e. direct investment to and
linkages with farm producers who are technically
supported by FAO.
Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025
 4. MONITORING AND REPORTING
FAO will actively participate in relevant Results Group(s)
of Cooperation Framework strategic priorities as well
as in the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) groups. As
a contributing UN entity, FAO will monitor and report
on progress towards Cooperation Framework results
and provide periodic inputs to update the UN CCA for
adaptive programming. With support from the RC and
the M&E group, FAO will use the online platform UN
INFO to plan, monitor and report results delivered by
FAO individually and jointly with other UN entities. FAO
may participate in the joint Cooperation Framework
evaluations as necessary and in consultation with the
Office of Evaluation (OED).
As presented in the Results Framework (Annex I), the
proposed activities have indicators related to the priority
outputs and outcomes. The progress status of each
activity will be assessed periodically, against the pre-
set indicators. Information related to the indicators will
be obtained from the MOA, other relevant ministries,
RBAs, and the CSA. Quarterly reports will provide
updates and analysis of progress made by the four
priority outcome areas. Disaggregated data will be used
Country Programing Framework for Ethiopia: 2022-2025
to assess gender and social inclusion indicators. FAO
will provide technical support to enhance the capacity
of CSA, MOA, and other partnering agencies for data
collection, analysis, and interpretation of findings.
FAO will produce monitoring reports of the CPF annually.
These annual reports will feed into the compilation
of FAO’s global Country Annual Reports. The reports
will cover the progress made across the priority
outcome areas. They will also cover lessons learnt
from CPF implementation, challenges encountered and
subsequent measures to be taken as the way forward.
FAO Ethiopia will participate in the relevant Result
Groups of the UNSDCF’s Priorities/ Results Framework.
As a major contributing UN entity, FAO will report
(jointly with various UN agencies) on 26 Performance
Indicators (PIs) covering all SDGs: six PIs on Priority
one (PEO); one PIs on Priority two (DJP); thirteen PIs on
Priority three (PRS); and six on Priority four (EPCC). FAO
may participate in the joint Cooperation Framework
evaluations if necessary and in consultation with Office.
