United Nations in Ethiopia

The Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection. These are the goals the UN is working on in Ethiopia:

The Bell of Hope Ushering a New Chapter for Sudanese Children in Ethiopia

Metema, Ethiopia – As the midday bell rings at Metema Yohannes Primary School, laughter erupts across the schoolyard. Children spill from their classrooms, racing to their lunch bags, kicking around a makeshift football, and darting toward the toilets – precious minutes of joy and movement.For these children, many of whom fled the conflict in Sudan, this bell signals more than a break from lessons – it marks a fragile sense of safety after months of uncertainty.Located in Metema, a quiet border town in western Ethiopia, the school has become a haven for Sudanese and Ethiopian children escaping violence that erupted in April 2023. The sudden influx of refugees has put enormous pressure on this once-overlooked community.“Even before the crisis, we were stretched thin,” says Mekonnen Kassa, Deputy Principal of Metema Yohannes Primary School. “But when the number of students grew overnight, it became a real struggle, especially when it came to sanitation.”One latrine for every 265 students. That was the reality.For Kalkidan, 14, the school offered hope – but even that came with challenges. “We only have 15 minutes for break. The toilet line was always long. By the time I got back to class, I was sometimes late. Once, the teacher thought I was skipping,” she says, eyes downcast.Her classmate Dagim, 13, adds, “It wasn’t just about the wait. It was about feeling embarrassed. There weren’t enough toilets. And when you're worried about that, it’s hard to think about schoolwork.”The consequences go beyond inconvenience. Inadequate sanitation leads to illness, missed school days, and emotional stress – especially for adolescent girls. The lack of clean, safe toilets silently threatens children's health, dignity, and future.Recognizing the urgency, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) stepped in. After assessing the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) needs at the school, IOM constructed two semi-permanent latrine blocks, each with 12 stalls – divided for boys and girls, and equipped with inclusive features for students with disabilities.“These facilities aren't just structures, they restore dignity,” says Alehegn Ayele, IOM WASH Assistant. “When students have access to clean, safe toilets, they show up differently. They focus, they participate, they thrive.”The change was immediate and visible. “Now the student-to-toilet ratio is one for every 105 students,” says Deputy Principal Mekonnen. “That’s a huge improvement. We’ve seen fewer absences and a real lift in morale.”For Kalkidan, the difference is deeply felt. “Now, I don’t have to rush or worry about being late. I can just focus on learning.”From 2023 to today, IOM has constructed or rehabilitated over 5,300 latrines across Ethiopia –benefiting more than 100,000 refugees, displaced persons, returnees, and host community members. But in places like Metema, the impact is measured not only in numbers, but in the smiles of students reclaiming their right to learn.Because when a child feels safe enough to learn, they don’t just survive – they begin to dream again. And with every latrine built, every hand washed, and every bell rung, hope echoes a little louder across the border.

On the path to recovery: WFP’s Voucher for Treatment programme Empowers Mothers and children to Combat Malnutrition

Hawa Mohammed cradles her 10-month-old baby and listens intently to a nutritious food preparation demonstration in Guguftu village in South Wollo zone of the Amhara region. Hawa’s daughter, Hassinet, is malnourished and has been enrolled into WFP’s Voucher for Treatment programme, after Hawa brought her to the Guguftu Health Post. This demonstration is an integral part of WFP’s Voucher for Treatment programme, which complements the provision of an electronic voucher that allows participants of the programme to purchase recommended fresh foods that will help set them on the path to recovery from malnutrition. This alternative approach for the use of local foods to address moderate wasting is especially important because it also boosts the local economy and increases the availability of these foods in rural markets. Mothers like Hawa are encouraged to cook and consume these fresh nutritious foods, through culturally sensitive behavior change strategies. “My husband is a farmer,” says Hawa; he is the bread winner of our family. We have a small plot of land from where we grow some crops but could only bring a meagre income. We can hardly afford to buy the varieties of food items to provide for ourselves, let alone something similar to what has been demonstrated.” As part of this Voucher for Treatment programme, Hawa is provided with the electronic voucher so she can buy recommended nutritious food items from local traders. The programme holds screening at the community level, where health workers assess individuals—especially children and pregnant or breastfeeding women—for signs of malnutrition or health concerns. The women and children have routine follow-ups at the health post every two weeks, where their progress is monitored, and additional support is given as needed. Health workers also conduct home visits, offering community support and reinforcing health and nutrition education. Once the nutrition demonstration ends, Hawa and the other mothers head to the market to purchase special food items from retail sellers to prepare nutritious meals for their children at their homes. At the markets, they have access to different food items from the food groups such as cereals, legumes/pulses, animal proteins and fruits, and vegetables, iodized salt, and vegetable oil. The quantities of each food item are determined for the moderately malnourished children and mothers respectively, to meet a minimum nutrient profile deemed to be sufficient to ensure nutritional recovery.“Look how happy my child is, she’s so healthy and always cheerful,” says Hawa pointing at her daughter. “It is surprising even for myself that she’s never been sick since I began feeding her the recommended food items which I get for free through the voucher system. I am so grateful for this opportunity,” she said with a smile. With thanks to funding from the UK, the programme is being implemented in 42 districts of Amhara, Oromia, Central, Sidama, and Southern Ethiopia regions reaching 120,000 malnourished children aged 6 to 59 months as well as pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.Hawa is now well enlightened about nutrition and is determined to support her daughter to recover and grow healthy.

Transforming Livestock Farming – The Liquid Nitrogen Plant Project

Supported by the World Bank through the Lowlands Livelihood Resilience Project and implemented by UNOPS on behalf of the Ministry of Irrigation and Lowlands, a new Liquid Nitrogen Plant is transforming agricultural practices for local farmers.The plant, described as modern, compact, and eco-friendly, produces 32 liters of liquid nitrogen per hour, providing a critical resource for preserving semen used in artificial insemination. According to Endale Shiferaw, UNOPS Project Manager, the facility is a game-changer, ensuring high-quality genetic material for livestock breeding while reducing costs and logistical challenges.Previously, farmers and technicians had to travel over 680 kilometers to access liquid nitrogen, leading to high expenses and storage risks. Alem Work, the Nitrogen Plant Coordinator, emphasized that the new plant now serves eight woredas, significantly cutting transportation costs and improving breeding success rates. To further extend its reach, the project also distributed a truck and ten motorcycles, enabling veterinary services to reach remote communities.Moges Fiseha, an Artificial Insemination Expert, noted that more farmers are adopting artificial insemination as a safe, efficient, and cost-effective method to enhance livestock production. The technology provides access to superior genetics, increasing milk and meat yields while reducing risks associated with natural mating, such as injuries and disease transmission.For local farmers like Bezunesh Bisetegn, the benefits are clear. The ability to select female calves for dairy farming has boosted productivity and profitability. Abera Mekonnen, Agro-Industry Livestock Sector Coordinator, highlighted how the project has empowered farmers with better breeding control, leading to healthier, more productive livestock.By improving genetics and supporting sustainable farming practices, this initiative is paving the way for a more resilient future for Ethiopia’s lowland communities, ensuring long-term food security and economic growth.

From Firewood to the Future: Ethiopia’s Clean Cooking Roadmap Charts a Bold Path to 2035

As of 2024, less than 10%* of Ethiopia’s population has access to clean cooking solutions—far below the global average. This gap has serious and far-reaching consequences. Most households still rely on traditional cooking fuels such as firewood, charcoal, and animal dung, which pose significant health, gender, environmental, and economic challenges.Indoor air pollution from these fuels causes premature deaths, particularly among women and children. Women also spend many hours collecting firewood, exposing them to health risks and gender-based violence. Environmentally, this practice contributes to deforestation, CO₂ emissions, and soil degradation. Economically, the cost of inaction outweighs the cost of intervention.To address this, Ethiopia has launched a Clean Cooking Roadmap to increase access to clean cooking solutions to 75% by 2035. This ambitious but achievable target aims to save lives, protect the environment, and support national development.Despite previous efforts, Ethiopia’s clean cooking sector has struggled due to fragmented initiatives, limited financing, and the absence of a national framework. While various strategies and projects exist, they lack coordination and a unified direction. Historically, cookstove initiatives have received only a fraction of the investmentallocated to electricity infrastructure. Without a comprehensive, costed, and time-bound plan, scaling clean cooking solutions has remained slow and unsustainable.The Solution: A National RoadmapThe newly launched National Clean Cooking Roadmap (2026–2035) is designed to address these systemic challenges. It is evidence-based and costed, built on data, modelling, and community assessments to ensure that interventions are tailored to local needs, cooking habits, and realities.With clear milestones and targets, the roadmap charts a path toward achieving 75% access by 2035. It aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7), Ethiopia’s climate commitments, and the 10-year development plan. It also integrates clean cooking with electrification, gender inclusion, and climate finance.According to the Investment Plan of the National Clean Cooking Roadmap, Ethiopia will require $3.38 billion through 2035 to meet its targets. Funding will come from a mix of grants, carbon credits, concessional loans, government contributions, and private sector investment.Who Is InvolvedGovernment leadership is central to the roadmap’s success, with the Ministry of Water and Energy (MoWE) leading the process. The roadmap brings together private sector actors and entrepreneurs, encouraging them to innovate and scale clean cooking technologies. These efforts are supported through business development assistance and access to finance.Development partners are also playing a key role by providing technical and financial support, including results-based financing and grants. A newly established National Clean Cooking Coordination Unit will harmonize efforts across government ministries, NGOs, civil society, development partners, academia, and the private sector.UNDP’s RoleAlthough the roadmap is government-led, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) plays a catalytic role.UNDP provides technical and analytical support, including value chain analysis, modeling, and target-setting to ensure that interventions are both effective and scalable.UNDP also helps convene stakeholders by supporting platforms for collaboration among government, civil society, and the private sector. This strengthens coordination and alignment. Importantly, UNDP’s involvement reinforces government ownership and builds national capacity for long-term sustainability.The Vision AheadWith the right actions and investments, the roadmap can significantly expand access to clean cooking. This will:Reduce the burden on womenImprove public healthCreate economic opportunitiesLower emissionsProtect forestsEnhance climate resilienceNow is the time for government, communities, and partners to come together and turn this vision into reality. The roadmap provides a clear direction—but achieving its goals will require collective commitment and sustained effort.
