Ethiopian Agri. Transformation Agency

Company Description

Building on the impressive gains of the preceding decade, Ethiopia’s Five Year Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) established ambitious targets for the agriculture sector for 2011-2015. The Plan’s objectives focus on enhancing productivity and production of smallholder farmers and pastoralists, strengthening market systems, improving participation and engagement of the private sector, expanding the amount of land under irrigation, and reducing the number of chronically food insecure households. By collaborating with a strategic array of related partners, the Agricultural Transformation Agency is committed to helping achieve the targets of the GTP through its three primary focus areas: value chains, systems, and special initiatives.
