La Banca mondiale sta aiutando a combattere la povertà e migliorare gli standard di vita in Etiopia. Obiettivi includono la rapida crescita economica e migliorare l’erogazione dei servizi.
Ethiopia’s location gives it strategic dominance as a jumping off point in the Horn of Africa, close to the Middle East and its markets. Landlocked, it borders Eritrea, Somalia, Kenya, South Sudan, and Sudan—its tiny neighbor, Djibouti, is also its main port. Ethiopia’s huge population of about 102 million (2016) makes it the second most populous nation in Africa (after Nigeria). But, although the fastest growing economy in the region, it is also one of the poorest, with a per capita income of $660. Ethiopia’s government nonetheless wants the country to reach lower-middle-income status by 2025.
