Water and Poverty Linkages in Africa: Ethiopia Case Study

This case study demonstrates the role of water management in poverty reduction. The African Development Bank commissioned the Stockholm Environment Institute to conduct a study on water-poverty linkages in three countries, one of which was Ethiopia. In the agricultural sector, the focus was improving on-farm water management, including rainwater capture and storage.
