Evidence snapshot for Ethiopia
Ethiopia has implemented several evidence-based development programmes with measurable outcomes. Joint land certification that lists both spouses' names has substantially increased women's perceived tenure security to 22–30% in participating regions compared to 4% in head-only certification areas, while a conditional asset transfer pilot delayed child marriage in girls aged 10–14 (odds ratio 0.1) and tripled their school enrolment. More recently, Ethiopia's digital skills initiative had enrolled over 580,000 youth and facilitated remote employment for 12,875 graduates within four months, and a farmer-managed natural regeneration project restored 2,728 hectares of degraded hillsides while sequestering 880,000 tCO2e over 30 years. However, the evidence does not quantify broader national impacts or cost-effectiveness comparisons across these programmes.
