Ethiopia's Economic Growth

The Institute for Security Studies posted a 14 minute video titled "View on Africa: Making Ethiopia's Economic Growth Count."

After recounting Ethiopia's economic success, it suggests challenges that need to be met so that this success does not end in failure.

Ethiopia: Rapid Economic Growth but Poor Access to Basic Services

The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) published on 4 May 2017 a policy brief titled "Key to the Horn: Ethiopia's Growth to 2030" by authors from ISS and the Frederick S. Pardee Center at the University of Denver.

The study notes that few African countries have developed as rapidly as Ethiopia over the past 25 years and that economic growth has also been paired with a sizeable expansion of service delivery. Nonetheless, Ethiopians continue to suffer from some of the lowest levels of access to basic services of any country in Africa.

Strategic Vision Needed for Africa

The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) published in October 2014 a 12 page study titled "Why Strategic Foresight Matters for Africa" by Julia Schunemann, who leads the African Futures Project at ISS.  She concludes that African countries must think more systematically about long-term trends and plan for the future if they are to take advantage of opportunities arising from economic growth.
