Abstract
This poverty assessment focuses on the
evolution of poverty and other social indicators in Ethiopia
between 2010-11 and 2015-2016 (henceforth referred to as
2011 and 2016). Using data from a variety of sources, mainly
the twinned household living standards surveys (HCES and
WMS), the Ethiopia Socioeconomic Survey (ESS) and the
Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), the poverty assessment
documents trends in monetary and non-monetary dimensions of
living standards and examines the drivers of observed
trends, with a special focus on government programs. The aim
of the poverty assessment is to provide policy makers and
development partners with information and analysis that can
be used to improve the effectiveness of their poverty
reduction and social programs.
