Over 20 years, Ethiopia has significantly reduced hunger. Yet, challenges remain:
📉 Nearly 1 in 5 still face undernourishment.
📉 Child stunting is above 35%.
📉 Structural barriers require our urgent attention.
We were honored to participate in the launch of the Global Hunger Index 2025 at the African Union.
