It is one of the most populous countries in the world, but it is not highly urbanized. Nevertheless, urbanization in Ethiopia is taking place rapidly, and is expected to increase over the coming few decades. Addis Ababa, is its commercial and political center and exemplary of the rapid urban growth of Ethiopia. The rapid urban and metropolitan growth in Addis Ababa is exacerbated by poor planning and land-use, inadequate infrastructure, and chronic housing shortage.

    The African Ministers' Council on
    Water (AMCOW) commissioned the production of a second round
    of Country Status Overviews (CSOs2) to better understands
    what underpins progress in water supply and sanitation and
    what its member governments can do to accelerate that
    progress across countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). AMCOW
    delegated this task to the World Bank's Water and
    Sanitation Program and the African Development Bank (AfDB),

    In Africa, farmers have been reluctant
    to take up new varieties of staple crops developed to boost
    smallholder yields and rural incomes. Low fertilizer use is
    often mentioned as a proximate cause, but some believe the
    problem originates with incomplete input markets. As a
    remedy, African governments have introduced technology
    adoption programs with fertilizer subsidies as a core
    component. Still, the links between market performance and

    This paper evaluates the impact of
    strengthening legal rights on the types of economic
    opportunities that are pursued. Ethiopia changed its family
    law, requiring both spouses' consent in the
    administration of marital property, removing the ability of
    a spouse to deny permission for the other to work outside
    the home, and raising women's minimum age of marriage.
    Thus both access to resources and the removal of

    This paper employs decomposition methods
    to analyze differences in agricultural productivity between
    male and female land managers in Ethiopia. It employs data
    from the 2011-2012 Ethiopian Rural Socioeconomic Survey. An
    overall 23.4 percent gender differential in agricultural
    productivity is estimated at the mean in favor of male land
    managers, of which 10.1 percentage points are explained by
    differences in land manager characteristics, land

    The authors use data from Ethiopia to
    empirically assess determinants of participation in land
    rental markets, compare these to those of administrative
    land reallocation, and make inferences on the likely impact
    of households' expectations regarding future
    redistribution. Results indicate that rental markets
    outperform administrative reallocation in terms of
    efficiency and poverty. Households who have part-time jobs

    The authors use a large data set from
    Ethiopia that differentiates tenure security and
    transferability to explore determinants of different types
    of land-related investment and its possible impact on
    productivity. While they find some support for endogeneity
    of investment in trees, this is not the case for terraces.
    Transfer rights are unambiguously investment-enhancing. The
    large productivity effect of terracing implies that, even
