German's Economic Cooperation and Development ministry, through the Development Bank, has allocated 17 million euro to support a drought resilience project, with 15 million euro provided by the German government. The initiative is being implemented by Ethiopia’s Ministry of Agriculture. The Drought Resilience Building Project aims to strengthen food security and climate resilience for pastoral communities in the Afar lowlands. It focuses on expanding water infrastructure, including irrigation systems and deep wells, alongside pasture restoration through invasive species control and mechanised reseeding, supported by maintenance works and essential social infrastructure development. Signed in September 2021 and launched in May 2023, the project is scheduled to run until April 2027 next year.
