This report brief summarizes the findings of the report "Ten years of the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency – An FAO evaluation of the Agency’s impact on agricultural growth and poverty reduction".
This brief shares insights from the evaluation of the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA) on the interventions that they used, such as extension services and agricultural technologies. The outcomes observed point to the effective removal of bottlenecks in the rural agricultural economy that have improved the linkages between producers, input markets and agricultural services. The improvements in those priority areas are reflected in productivity gains for certain priority crops and in market orientation positions that confirm ATA’s effectiveness in connecting producers to markets.
