6 Agricultural growth Sustainable livelihoods for chronically vulnerable Policy development and Learning USAID/Ethiopia strategy has three interlinked Focus Areas that drive food security and nutrition objectives Linking the Vulnerable Policy and Capacity Enabler Growth-led Food Security COMPONENT 1 60% 30% 10% Link vulnerable productive Ethiopia to market opportunities COMPONENT 2 COMPONENT 3 Cross Cutting: Nutrition, Climate Change Governance Link vulnerable populations into “Productive Ethiopia”

7 1)Agricultural Growth Program (AGP)- agricultural productivity and market access for key crop and livestock products in the productive highlands. Geographic Area: 83 woredas in Productive Ethiopia Five years ( ), $320 million program Donors: World Bank; USG; Canadian International Development Agency [CIDA]; Spain; Netherlands; Finland; UNDP; Global Agriculture and Food Security Program [GAFSP] 2) Sustainable Land Management Program (SLMP)- to improve the livelihood of land users while restoring ecosystem functions and ensuring sustainable land management. Geographic Area: National. Five years ( ), $150 million program Donors: World Bank; USG; Finland). 3) Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP)- GoE’s overall umbrella Food Security Program (FSP).

8 “PUSH” Model will build assets for chronically vulnerable HHs to graduate into value chain efforts. Activities: Access to financial services Asset transfers (on credit) Livelihood and NRM training “PULL” Model will bring chronically vulnerable HHs with built assets into value chains so that they can build sustainable livelihoods. Activities: Contracts with private sector players to source from/employ vulnerable HHs Success metric: # HHs graduatedSuccess metric: # HHs linked to growth “Push and Pull” Hypothesis Asset accumulation/ Food security Stable livelihood through market integration Asset depletion/ Food insecurity

10 FTF nutrition investment – ENGINE Project Nutrition impact a key criteria in prioritizing value chains and PPP with PepsiCO (1,2) Nutrition education/behavior change programs (1,2) Focus on increasing incomes of vulnerable populations, particularly women Address wasting and micronutrient deficiencies Coordinate PSNP activities with those of the National Nutrition Program Integrating Nutrition Growth-led Food Security 1 Linking the Vulnerable 2 Conduct nutrition assessments to improve nutrition impact, analyses to understand impact and cost-effectiveness of various value chain interventions on child malnutrition Strengthening capacity of nutrition practitioner/policy makers Policy and Capacity Enabler 3
