Qué funciona en Etiopía

Ethiopia has pursued several evidence-backed interventions to strengthen women's rights and economic opportunity. Ethiopia's Joint Land Certification Programme increased women's perceived land tenure security to 22–30% in joint-titling regions versus only 4% where only household heads were certified, and was linked to a 33% increase in household health spending. On child marriage prevention, Berhane Hewan's conditional asset transfer reduced marriage likelihood among girls aged 10–14 tenfold (OR 0.1) while tripling school enrolment (OR 3.0) over two years, though the effect required sustained engagement. The country has also invested in large-scale skills training and environmental restoration: the Five Million Ethiopian Coders Initiative had enrolled 580,000 youth and facilitated 12,875 remote jobs within its first year, while dryland restoration projects like Humbo have regenerated thousands of hectares and sequestered hundreds of thousands of tonnes of CO2.
