Climate-smart agriculture investment plan for Ethiopia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/145352

Agriculture is the backbone of the Ethiopian economy, accounting for about 32.4% of GDP, employing over 80% of the population, and foreign currency earning. However, the sector is heavily dependent on rain-fed smallholder farming, making it highly vulnerable to climate change-induced weather extremes such as drought and flood.
