Ethiopia

 Ethiopia is a fully continental country in East Africa. Most of its territory consists of high plateaus and is often harsh and arid. The capital, Addis Ababa, is the only large city and is located at an altitude of 2,355 meters. The country is highly affected by the consequences of climate change and is at high risk of catastrophic events: floods and droughts alternate, often causing n irreparable damage, with heavy consequences on populations and agriculture, which increase an important migratory phenomenon in an already fragile context.

MASE has entered into 2 agreements with the country: the first, in 2016, with the Ministry of the Environment, Forests and Climate Change of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia; the second, in 2017, with the Global Green Growth Institute.

The 5 projects born from this agreement work on weather alerts, on the adaptation of rural populations to climate change, on the provision of solar energy-powered water pumping systems, and on the dissemination of policies aimed at countering the effects of Climate Change.

Counterpart : Environmental Forest and Climate Change Commission (EFCCC).
