Evidence snapshot for Ethiopia
Ethiopia has implemented several large-scale development programmes with measurable results across land rights, youth employment, and environmental restoration. Joint land certification for women increased women's perceived tenure security to 22–30% in participating regions (compared to 4% where only household heads were certified) and was linked to a 33% increase in household health spending. A national digital skills initiative had enrolled 580,000 youth and facilitated remote employment for 12,875 graduates by early 2025. Two major dryland restoration projects and EthioTrees regenerated over 30,000 hectares and sequestered substantial carbon, with wildlife returning to restored areas.
