Despite much progress, Ethiopia remains one of Africa’s poorest nations with a third of the population living below the poverty line.

Scaling up agricultural production, improving nutrition
security, developing new enterprise and market opportunities for farmers, strengthening community-based seed production and building climate resilience, are all key areas of Self Help Africa’s work in Ethiopia.

Last year, the organisation was involved in implementing close to a dozen development projects, all of which are being undertaken in collaboration with local and/or international partners.
