    Ethiopia, Africa

    Because agriculture is the economic backbone of most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia, any meaningful sustainable development program in the continent must therefore be anchored in the sector. The concept for this study on agribusiness indicators was based on the vital role that agribusiness plays in agricultural development. The study focuses on agribusiness indicators (ABI) to identify and isolate the determining factors that lead private investors and other stakeholders to participate in agribusiness and to engage in discourse regarding its development.

    The author looks at the feasibility and potential of instituting small-scale irrigation dams to reduce Ethiopia s dependence on rainfed agriculture and the associated food insecurity. He develops a theoretical framework to assess the welfare implications of irrigation development programs and provides empirical evidence from microdam construction and reforestation projects in northern Ethiopia. The author pays particular attention to health-related costs of establishing small-scale irrigation dams in areas prone to waterborne diseases.

    period 2005-2010. This report proposes that the growth

    This paper provides evidence from one of
    the poorest countries of the world that the property rights
    matter for efficiency, investment, and growth. With all land
    state-owned, the threat of land redistribution never appears
    far off the agenda. Land rental and leasing have been made
    legal, but transfer rights remain restricted and the
    perception of continuing tenure insecurity remains quite
    strong. Using a unique panel data set, this study

    Ethiopia's rural non-farm sector is
    significant and participation is increasing. The sector is
    particularly important for women and poorer households.
    Non-farm enterprises provide income-earning opportunities to
    those lacking alternative options and supplementary income
    for farming households. This report is organized into seven
    chapters. The first chapter lays the analytical groundwork
    for assessing the rural investment climate in Ethiopia and

    Poverty, environment, social
    development, and gender are important cross-cutting themes
    of the World Bank and government investment programs,
    especially within the Sustainable Development Network (SDN).
    For developing sectoral strategies and programs, economic,
    environment and social assessments are undertaken, however,
    these are usually done separately, and most often gender
    issues are not included. This is a missed opportunity,

    Although early attempts at land titling
    in Africa were often unsuccessful, the need to secure rights
    in view of increased demand for land, options for
    registration of a continuum of individual or communal rights
    under new laws, and the scope for reducing costs by
    combining information technology with participatory methods
    have led to renewed interest. This paper uses a
    difference-in-difference approach to assess economic impacts
