The East Africa Skills for Transformation and Regional Integration Project increased access and improved quality of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs in TVET Institutes. There was expansion of Ethiopia’s general education system, growing from 7.1 million students in 2000 to 30 million in 2024.
The Strengthen Ethiopia’s Adaptative Safety Net Project ($1.1 billion) has supported the government’s fifth phase of the rural Productive Safety Net Program from which 8 million people in 492 districts benefit. 6.8 million people receive short-term employment by participating in public works activities. These jobs enable them to earn a living while enhancing their communities’ climate change adaptation and resilience. 1.3 million beneficiaries have opened bank accounts for the first time.
The program reached 825,000 people with trainings in life, business skills, and enterprise development, a cash grant, and credit services.
The OWNP Consolidated WASH Account Project Phase II ($596.3 million) plays a catalytic role in financing, with IDA $300 million attracting $203.3 million from other development partners and leveraging $93 million from the Ethiopian government. The project improved access to water supply service, quality, and sustainability, and provides equitable access to improved sanitation services – targeting 3.8 million people with improved water supply and 4.75 million with improved sanitation.
