DEEP Ethiopia Challenge Fund launched

The new DEEP Challenge Fund was launched at a workshop in Addis Ababa, attended by Ethiopian government representatives, academics, NGOs, and other stakeholders. The new grant aims to improve national strategy, policy and programmes affecting poverty and vulnerability to poverty in Ethiopia, by funding national researchers and analysts to generate insights and evidence tailored to policymakers’ needs.

Ethiopia was selected as a focus country for the DEEP Challenge Fund due to its pressing poverty reduction challenges, its history of high-quality data, evidence and national discourse on extreme poverty, and the timely relevance of ongoing policy processes addressing poverty reduction.
