Ethiopia : Country Assistance Evaluation, 1998-2006
Ethiopia is among the World Bank's
largest IDA-eligible borrowers in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a
country portfolio comprising 22 active projects for a total
net commitment of US$2 billion as of end-FY07. The
Bank's overarching objective during the period under
review (FY98-FY06) was to support the Government in its
efforts to reduce poverty by helping to: (i) promote
pro-poor growth; (ii) advance private sector development;
(iii) enhance human development; (iv) respond to the needs
of post-conflict and emergency rehabilitation; and (v)
improve governance. The evaluation finds that IDA's
country strategy for Ethiopia and the associated program
during the period under review were relevant to the
country's development needs, which included the need to
manage (and over time reduce the country's exposure to)
frequent exogenous shocks and a fragile socio-political
environment, especially following the post-election violence
in 2005. IDA's strategy and program were also aligned
with those of other development partners (DPs). The efficacy
of the program was somewhat below average when measured
against the goals envisaged at the outset. There were
positive outcomes inter alia in post-conflict
rehabilitation, economic growth, roads development,
education and health. In contrast, the outcomes were less
favorable in the key areas of private sector development and
governance, which are crucial to sustaining growth over the
longer-term and ensuring that its benefits are widely shared.
