“The National Strategy and Action Plan for the Implementation of the Great Green Wall highlights the evolution of the Great Green Wall for the Sahel and Sahara Initiative (GGWSSI); presents assessment of Ethiopia’s biophysical, socio-economic and policy, legislation and institutional aspects as they relate to the initiative and potential areas across the GGWSSI development. The strategy consists of six pillars namely: sustainable management of natural resources and improved production systems, development of basic socio-economic infrastructures, development of income generating activities, promotion of good local governance, capacity building of stakeholders, and research and knowledge management. The overall goal of the GGWSSI is to improve the resilience of human and natural systems in the Sahel-Saharan zone against climate changes”.

The strategy acts on the premise that children’s learning abilities is impaired by poor health and nutrition. The strategy shifts the focus of health and nutrition needs away from pre-school children and mere survival, to school-age children, and to better quality of life. Its goal is to improve access and educational achievement of schoolchildren through health and nutrition interventions. It also pushes towards coordination of all school health nutrition activities and interventions.

“This strategy includes effective antimicrobial resistance (AMR) prevention and containment of the ever-increasing range of infectious threats caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi in humans, animals, agriculture, and the environment. The multiple stakeholders across sectors and the whole of society will be coordinated for the prevention and containment of AMR. The vision of the strategy is a society where antimicrobials are recognized and managed as a valuable and shared resource, maintaining their efficacy so that infections in humans and animals remain treatable and communities continue to benefit from the advances that antimicrobials enable”.

“This Water Resources Management Policy of Ethiopia aims at enhancing the development of the country’s water resources to make an optimum contribution to an accelerated socio-economic growth. The overall goal of the Policy is to enhance and promote all national efforts towards the efficient, equitable and optimum utilization of the available Water Resources of Ethiopia for significant socioeconomic development on sustainable basis.

The overarching goal of this strategy is to improve infant and young child feeding practices in Ethiopia, whereas the objectives include: to standardize infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices for improved child health, to specify roles and responsibilities of partners in promoting appropriate
IYCF practices, and to outline technical directives for interventions. The Strategy provides technical guidance for mothers, on infant and young children feeding, and providing recommendations.

The policy ackowledges the non realization of the potential benefits inherent in the country’s wildlife and forestry sector. It states that the threats face by the sector arise from illegal and impromper land use ranging from illegal encroachment, poaching, and settlement. The strategy and policy follows from existing international natural resources and development principles in seeking to arrest the rapid decline in the numbers of wildlives, and realization of the potential in the sector in form of tourism, sports, and trade. The major objective of the policy is to create a conducive environment whereby the
country’s wildlife and their habitats are protected and developed in a sustainable manner.

This serves as the fourth volume of the national policy on natural resources and the environment. Volume 1 examined the underlying state of the country’s natural resources; volume II presented a policy and strategic framework for the sustainable use of the resources, while III dealt with questions arising with regards to institutions and implementation plans for the strategies defined in volume II. This volume IV highlights plans and actions across a framework of cross-sectoral and sectoral programmes to translate the strategies in volume II in actionable activities.

This highlights the holistic plans of the transitional government for Ethiopia.

The Agriculture and Natural Resources Sector Growth and Transformation Plan II (ANR-GTP II) follows from the First Growth and Transformation Plan and leverages on the lessons drawn from its implementation. The ANR GTP II represents the agriculture and natural resources national visions, goals, and strategies aimed at contributing towards the national target of achieving Middle-Income economy. The ANR GTP II follows from the broader GTP by placing its emphasis on women and youth. The agriculture sector objective is to realize fast and sustainable growth and ensure the citizens benefited from the growth. Its three specific objectives are; sustainable and climate resilient green growth, bringing transformation within the sector and to the economy as a whole; participation of women, youth and other actors, guaranteeing that they benefit to the level of their contribution; and building production capacity and macro-economic stabilization.

The strategy contains the visions, systemic bottlenecks, and priority interventions for the agricultural extension system in Ethiopia.

modern energy sources; To stream-line and remove bottlenecks encountered in the development and utilization of energy resources and to give priority to the development of indigenous energy resources with a goal toward attaining self sufficiency; To set general guidelines and strategies for the development and supply of energy resources; To increase energy utilization efficiency and reduce energy wastage; and to ensure that the development and utilization of energy is benign to the environment”.

The policy and strategy on disasterseeks majorly to reduce disaster and the damages from it, through a coordinated disaster risk management system. The strategic document, with a 10-year lifespan notes that the government will lead efforts at the establishment and implementation of the disaster risk management system, and disaster risk management will be streamlined to community centres.

The second national nutrition program (NNP II) represents a multisectoral implementation approach charged at ending hunger by 2030. It pushes to exploit the linkage between nutrition, animal breeding, fisheries and aquaculture, and general agriculture to drive its goal. It contains a number of interventions prioritised for attaining its vision; optimal breastfeeding; optimal complementary feeding; mitigation and prevention of micro-nutrient deficiencies; water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH); deworming; food fortification; and management of acute malnutrition. “The overall goal of this program implementation manual is to facilitate and ignite the accelerated reduction of malnutrition in order to achieve zero hunger by 2030 and meet Sustainable Development Goal targets”.
