Achieving those goals requires a two pronged strategy of building on the strengths of past performance as well as introducing new elements. Progress in rural livelihoods drove poverty reduction in the past and will likely do so in the future. In addition, faster, and more inclusive, private sector-led structural change and ‘getting urbanization right’ are essential going forward. The report identifies two key challenges to sustainable progress: Ethiopia needs sustainably financed infrastructure that enables private investment to flourish and reduces reliance on public borrowing. It must also strengthen feedback mechanisms that inform policymakers of what works and what doesn’t so that the aspirations of a rapidly rising and better-educated working-age population can be met. The report is structured in two parts: Part A analyses the past and Part B identifies priorities for the future.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOSANITATIONWASTEPOVERTY POVERTYRISKSFARM GROWTHAGRICULTURAL GROWTHPOVERTY LINEIMPACT ON POVERTYRURAL SERVICEECONOMIC GROWTHPEOPLEINFORMAL SAFETY NETSILLITERACYANTENATAL CAREINCOMELAWSPOVERTY RATESPOVERTY ESTIMATESCALORIESNATIONAL POVERTY LINESOCIAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTNUTRITION OUTCOMESHEALTH CAREFOOD POLICYRURAL LIVELIHOODSNATIONAL POVERTYAGRICULTURAL EXTENSIONHEALTHPOOR PEOPLEHOLISTIC APPROACHDISTRIBUTIONAL EFFECTSFARM INCOMERURAL POVERTY RATESWEATSHOPSENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHRURAL POPULATIONRURAL POORCONFLICTMEASURESAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTSOCIAL STUDIESPUBLIC HEALTHLIFE EXPECTANCYSAFETY NETSPOVERTY REDUCTIONRURAL DWELLERSKNOWLEDGECLEAN DRINKING WATERLACK OF CREDITDIETSEXERCISESWORKPLACESAVINGSCROP PRODUCTIONRURAL HOUSEHOLDIRONRURAL HOUSEHOLDSCROWDING OUTIMMUNIZATIONINFECTIOUS DISEASESSOCIAL EXCLUSIONPRIVATE INSURANCE MARKETSPOOR HOUSEHOLDHOUSEHOLD HEADINSURANCE MARKETSINTERVENTIONRURAL INCOMEINCOME GROWTHFOOD PRICEFARM EMPLOYMENTMIGRATIONTRANSFERSOBSERVATIONINTERNATIONAL POVERTY LINEVIOLENCEREMOTE DISTRICTSMARKETINGSMALLHOLDER AGRICULTUREPOOR RURAL HOUSEHOLDSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEPOVERTY MAPSESTIMATES OF POVERTYPOLLUTIONEMPLOYMENT INCOMEDISASTERSHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSFOLIC ACIDFARMERSRURAL SERVICESMIGRANTSMORTALITYHOUSEHOLD HEADSPUBLIC SAFETY NETSUNEMPLOYMENTSAFETY NET TRANSFERSHUMAN CAPITALFOOD SECURITYWORKERSCLIMATE CHANGEDROUGHTAGEDSOCIAL SERVICESFEMALE-HEADED HOUSEHOLDSSURVEILLANCEPOSTNATAL CAREFARM INCOME GROWTHLIFESTYLELAND SCARCITYHEALTH OUTCOMESRURAL INFRASTRUCTUREHYGIENERURAL POVERTY RATESLIVESTOCK PRODUCTIVITYRURAL POVERTYCOLD STORAGEAGRICULTURAL SECTORSTRESSDISADVANTAGED GROUPSDECISION MAKINGRURALRURAL WORKERSCHILD NUTRITIONREFUGEESNUTRITIONPUBLIC WORKSACCESS TO MARKETSQUALITY OF LIFEPRIVATE TRANSFERSAGRICULTURAL INPUTSINTERNETRISK FACTORSCHILD MORTALITYINSURANCEFEMALE FARMERSHUMAN HEALTHWEIGHTTARGETINGPREGNANT WOMENHUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEXRURAL POLICYLAND PRODUCTIVITYSUBSISTENCE FARMERSCHILDRENDRINKING WATERCLINICSWAREXTREME POVERTYIRRIGATIONLACK OF KNOWLEDGEOZONEACCESS TO SERVICESRURAL AREASPOVERTYAGRICULTURAL INCOMESBIRTH ATTENDANTSCLEAN WATERWATER POLLUTIONHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONREMOTE LOCATIONSPOLIORURAL ELECTRIFICATIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYRISK MANAGEMENTLIVING CONDITIONSPOORSTRATEGYPOOR MARKET ACCESSREGISTRATIONPOVERTY IMPACTFAMILIESDISTRIBUTION OF ACCESSFOOD PRICESNON‐FARM INCOMEREMOTE AREASDISTRIBUTION OF LANDHEALTH SERVICESIMPLEMENTATIONLAND MANAGEMENTRURAL POVERTY REDUCTIONHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINEQUALITYPOOR HOUSEHOLDSLIFE‐EXPECTANCYReportWorld Bank10.1596/24590
