Since November 2024, the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, and CIFOR-ICRAF have partnered with the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture to co-create Ethiopia’s National Agroecology Strategy (2026–2040). Through a nationally led, multi-stakeholder process, the initiative established a technically robust and nationally owned policy framework to transform Ethiopia’s agricultural system toward equity, resilience, and sustainability, aligned with national priorities and global agroecology frameworks.
