SPONSOR WIRE Ethiopia's economy enjoyed robust growth from 2004 to 2011, averaging 11.3% GDP growth per year. Initially led by agriculture, growth subsequently became more broad-based, with a rising contribution from the mining, services and manufacturing sectors. Ethiopia has also improved considerably on basic service delivery indicators in recent years. The focus on decentralized basic service delivery coupled with rapid growth has led to a decline in the population living below the poverty line from 38.7% in 2004 to 29.6% in 2010. Despite this, Ethiopia still faces serious challenges, and the Government remains committed to improving social indicators, with a particular emphasis on increasing access to and quality of basic services. The African Development Bank's Promoting Basic Services Programme (PBS III) provides resources to safeguard and scale up expenditures on basic services for the poor and to help maintain macroeconomic stability by easing pressure on

How climate change and a deadly fungus are threatening our coffee supply ምንጭ፦  qz.com In the next 24 hours, the world will guzzle 1.6 billion cups of coffee, the most popular beverage on the planet besides water and tea. It’s big business, too: Global coffee exports totaled $28.6 billion in 2013—after oil, it is the world’s most traded commodity. + But there’s something else that likes coffee even more than humans:  Hemileia vastatrix,  better known as coffee rust or roya disease. It’s a fungal parasite that survives on coffee tree leaves, and in the 2012-13 crop year alone, it caused nearly $499 million in losses  (pdf, p.3) among Central American coffee growers. + Worse, big swings in weather resulting from climate change are hastening the spread of this fungus,  reports National Geographic , and causing epic droughts on plantations elsewhere in the region. The devastating double-whammy of climate and disease could wipe out as much as two-fifths of Central Am

During a workshop organized by European Union (EU) and Coffee Development Sector, the EU recommended Ethiopia to host a research institute of Coffee Arabica, according to The Reporter. A consultant at the German based Dipl. Lng, Gunther Herhaus, made a presentation of a research that revolved around the recent poor performance of Ethiopia’s coffee sector. During his presentation, Herhaus highlighted opportunities that can see the success of Coffee Arabica. He suggests the success will come through commencing various mechanisms that will mitigate the current problems and as well by coming up with ideas of establishing a research institute. Herhaus recommended one of the possible methods to bring back the Ethiopian specialty coffee was by establishing a research institute that helps farmers and exports maintain quality and production. He further noted, “Arguably, Ethiopia remains the most important place for Coffee Arabica and possibly the right location for a research institute as
