Few African countries have developed as rapidly as Ethiopia over the past 25 years. This economic growth has been paired with a sizeable expansion of service delivery. But Ethiopians still suffer from some of the lowest levels of access to basic services of any country in Africa – and indeed the world.

This View on Africa is presented by Zachary Donnenfeld, Researcher, ISS Pretoria. He will discuss results from a recent study on how Ethiopia and its development partners can advance human development and economic growth over the next decade.
