We provide evidence around the effectiveness of a gender-sensitive graduation model in shifting intrahousehold dynamics and empowering women in rural Ethiopia, drawing on a multi-arm cluster randomized trial. The bundled intervention centered around village economic and social associations, nurturing care groups, men’s groups, and livelihood grants; one arm also provided a monthly cash transfer for […]
Mapping the policy landscape for climate action in Ethiopia’s agrifood systems
Ethiopia has made important policy commitments to address climate change in agriculture and food systems, yet challenges remain in translating these commitments into coordinated, inclusive action. This study examines Ethiopia’s climate change institutional landscape, with a particular focus on the integration of gender and nutrition considerations. Drawing on the Net-Map methodology and a participatory stakeholder […]
Locus of control, climate change adaptation and perception: Evidence from rural Ethiopia
Despite an overwhelming scientific consensus about the adverse effects of climate change and potential adaptation strategies, the uptake rates of climate adaptation practices fall short of expectations and public perceptions about the drivers and implications of climate change remain mixed. This paper examines whether farmers’ psychological traits, particularly locus of control, predict climate adaptation strategies. […]
Strengthening land tenure security and women’s land rights in Ethiopia: Policy analysis, implementation gaps, and gender-transformative pathways
Ethiopia’s land rights regime has evolved from an unequal imperial system, through nationalization, to a contemporary federal framework that recognizes secure, inheritable, registrable, and transferable land-use rights for women and men farmers and pastoralists. Ethiopia has undertaken one of Africa’s largest rural land certification reforms over the past three decades, beginning with provision of household […]
Do ultra-poor graduation programs build women’s resilience to weather shocks? Evidence from rural Ethiopia
Abstract/Description We assess whether layering an ultra-poor graduation program on Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) protects women and their households from localized weather shocks. Using panel data from a large cluster-randomized trial matched with detailed weather records, we identify community-level exposure to dryness shocks. Women who are exposed to dryness shocks experience deteriorating nutritional […]
