Activity under preparation Enabling Private Sector in Key Value Chains Ethiopia has a vibrant and growing but increasingly challenged private economy. Structural market failures and restrictive regulatory frameworks of the business enviroment make the major constraints for the private sector in addition to the external shocks such as the impact of the conflict in some parts of the country, COVID-19 and the Russian aggression in Ukraine disrupting supply chains. The proposed action accordingly, has an overall objective to support green, sustainable and resilient economic development in Ethiopia enabled by a strong private sector participation in key value chains with the following specific objectives to:Enhance transparent, proactive and accountable domestic tax administration systems in Ethiopia with improved understanding and services to private sector operators in critical value chains; Enhance cross-border trade facilitation through optimized electronic customs management and valuation systems and efficient customs services that leverage digital means; Strengthen Business Membership Organizations (BMOs) to safeguard private sector interests in key value chains and to represent the sector in dialogue with policy makers; and Strengthen the capital market to be MSME-friendly serving the needs of enterprises and start-ups owned and led by youth and women.

Activity under preparation Strengthening democratic institutions, transitional justice, gender equality and social cohesion in Ethiopia Ethiopia has long been considered as a politically and economically stable country within the unstable Horn of Africa region. In the past years, however, conflicts have simultaneously occurred in different regions of the country. While the Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (CoHA) signed between the Ethiopian government and the TPLF in November 2022 has ended a two-years war and launched a peace and reconstruction process, the situation in Northern Ethiopia still remains volatile. The post conflict transition witnesses significant gaps in political willingness and institutional and human capacity to manage the necessary peace processes and political reforms and changes needed to build a democratic, stable and prosperous country for all Ethiopians irrespective of their ethnicity, religion and gender. This action will support efforts towards peace, stabilisation and recovery from recent conflicts through strengthening more inclusive, strong and resilient local institutions and civil society, effective reforms and processes that lead to sustainable peace, recovery and development. In addition, it will also guarantee sufficient space for women and girls and their organisations to participate and benefit from these processes.Specifically, the action will cover five inter-related components identified here as Specific Objectives:1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Promote peace and social cohesion in conflict prone areas through supporting inclusive dialogue, timely mediation efforts and reconciliation processes.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Enhance the capacity of key institutions and civil society organisations (CSOs) in the implementation of a comprehensive national Transitional Justice policy with a focus on accountability3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Strengthen NEBE as an independent democratic governance institution, as well as to strengthen civil society participation and oversight of elections4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contribute to the 3RF implementation in the Tigray region through the support to the governance reforms in Tigray by enhancing the capacities of the Ministry of Finance and the Interim Regional Administration of Tigray.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Improve capacities of Ethiopian institutions at all levels to advance Gender Equality and Women Empowerment (GEWE) in line with international and national normative frameworks and commitmentsThis Action ontributes to Priority Area 3: Governance and Peacebuilding of the MIP and more specifically, it contributes to the Democratic Governance and Peacebuilding components¿ objectives.

RPSNP (Rural Productive Safety Net Programme) in Ethiopia Contract related to: RPSNP (Rural Productive Safety Net Programme) in Ethiopia - The proposed Action addresses two major aspects of food insecurity in Ethiopia: the low availability of nutritious food and the low food accessibility by the rural poor. In terms of low food accessibility, this will be addressed by the cash/food transfer to the most vulnerable people, provided through the Rural Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP).This is a flagship programme supported by the World Bank and several bilateral partners (including the EU and several Member States), which addresses rural poverty as part of a strategic approach to build resilience for most vulnerable and poor people. The programme targets 8 million food insecure and vulnerable people across almost all regions, a number that may increase as part of the post-conflict reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts.The Humanitarian-Development nexus will be operationalised by supporting target rural households in terms of immediate food access and child acute malnutrition.In terms of low availability of nutritious food, this will be addressed by two essential multi-donor interventions to increase food production in conflict/drought stricken areas: a) support to respond to the needs of improved seeds as one of the essential input for agriculture recovery, and b) support irrigation in the low lands as a means to limit the dependency on rain-fed agriculture in those regions. Specific support to the dissemination of bio-fortified and nutrient dense crops will be provided, while ensuring a nutrition-sensitive approach across the actions targeting vulnerable rural populations in Ethiopia.This Action has a budget of EUR&nbsp;75 000 000, and will have a duration of 48 months. The main beneficiaries of this Action will be the most vulnerable populations, in particular those affected by drought and conflict (including people with disabilities and displaced populations) in rural areas of Ethiopia.&nbsp;Their needs will be addressed through the support proposed through food security and social protection.The Action will use multi donor framework programmes or initiatives in order to maximise EU leverage.
