| Abstract: | Ethiopia is one of the least developing countries in the world. Despite its immense
potential for rapid agricultural development, the country couldn’t feed its ever
increasing population as a result of recurrent drought, land degradation, unsuitable
policy environment of the past ,poor transport and infrastructure ,and low level of
economical advancement in the agricultural sector. To ameliorate this deep rooted
problems Ethiopia prepared its Interim poverty Reduction Strategy paper (IPRSP) in
November 2000 in which its core objective is to reduce poverty and ensure food security
through rapid economic growth, which is expected to be achieved via free market
economic system .Since the coming to power in June 1991,the country has moved
gradually towards national food self-sufficiency .However ,both chronic and transitory
problems of food insecurity are sever in many parts of the country in general and the
area under study in particular. Despite visible achievements of the project, some
failures are observed in EU financed project interventions in the study area. Such
failures are observed on targeting of the poor, project supervision, water supply and
employment generation scheme. Nevertheless, if the comparison has to be made
between the before and after project situation, the conclusion would be that
implemented projects have brought about some improvements through different
components of the intervention towards food security. |
