IFPRI Discussion Paper 2203. In recent years, a growing literature has examined the potential of multifaceted, intensive “graduation model” interventions that simultaneously address multiple barriers constraining households’ exit from poverty.

Do ultra-poor graduation programs build resilience against droughts? Evidence from rural Ethiopia
IFPRI Discussion Paper 02206.

We use data from a large experimental trial of an integrated livelihood and nutrition intervention that supplemented the consumption support provided by Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net […]
Near-real-time welfare and livelihood impacts of an active war: Evidence from Ethiopia
Journal Article. Ethiopia recently experienced a large-scale war that lasted for more than two years. Using unique High-Frequency Phone Survey (HFPS) data, which span several months before and after the outbreak of the war, this paper provides evidence on the immediate impacts of the conflict on households’ food security.

Long-term food security planning and famine prevention efforts require a comprehensive assessment of how crop yield might change in the future across the whole Ethiopia at a spatial scale usable and useful for local decision-making. In this study we aimed […]
