Agriculture and a diversified rural economy play a key role in the Ethiopian economy. Currently, agriculture employs about two-thirds of the total population and contributes about one-third of the gross domestic product (manufacturing industries about 25 %, service sector about 40 %). As a result of difficult access to technical and entrepreneurial advisory services, modern inputs, modern mechanisation and financing opportunities, most smallholder farmers in Ethiopia work with outdated technologies and are only marginally productive.

The project is aligned with the following impacts:
The protection of the rainforest can only succeed in the long term if its economic benefit for the local population is also increased. The latter is organized in cooperatives and associations, which still insufficiently market their products in priority value chains for the development of the sustainable bioeconomy in the Amazon. In particular, the inclusion of disenfranchised groups (e.g. indigenous peoples) with even less consolidated organizations is currently given too little attention.
Tasks of the team leader
Agriculture was the main provider of jobs and livelihoods for Anbar’s rural and semi-rural population. The occupation and the fight against IS have led to widespread destruction of infrastructure and large-scale internal population displacement. The productive and social infrastructure in rural, semi-urban and urban areas has been severely damaged or destroyed, and, for a large part of the population, important prerequisites for peaceful social coexistence, livelihoods and income generation are not met.
In West Africa, Burkina Faso is one of the countries selected for the implementation of the Green Innovation Centres Project (ProCIV), which operates in the Hauts-Bassins, Cascades, Boucle du Mouhoun and South-West regions, mainly in the sesame and rice value chains (CVA).
