This document discusses a study measuring aspirations and their impact on well-being outcomes in Ethiopia. The study aims to better understand poverty dynamics by exploring how aspirations are formed and their significance. It will document issues in measuring aspirations, devise ways to address these, and examine the relationship between aspirations, aspiration gaps, and future-oriented behavior. The study will involve surveying individuals, randomly assigning some to watch documentary films, then resurveying to analyze impacts on aspirations and behaviors like saving.

Citizen science in disaster and conflict resilience esa 2010
This document discusses how citizen science could help build resilience after disasters or conflicts. It provides examples of citizen science in post-disaster contexts, like monitoring after a coal ash spill, that helped increase accountability. The document hypothesizes that citizen science could reinforce positive feedback loops and build capacity by convening knowledge over large areas. However, more examples are needed of citizen science specifically in post-disaster or conflict recovery. The document concludes that citizen science has potential to build resilience through facilitating local knowledge and participation, initiating desirable feedbacks, and combining data over broad areas.

Aspirations and Poverty in Rural Ethiopia
The document summarizes research on aspirations and poverty in rural Ethiopia. It finds that poorer individuals and those in poorer communities tend to have lower aspirations. The researchers conducted a field experiment randomly assigning Ethiopian farmers to view documentaries about successful role models or a control. It found that viewing the documentaries led to small improvements in farmers' aspirations immediately and 6 months later. It also found small improvements in savings, credit use, school enrollment and spending, suggesting aspirations may influence behaviors. The results indicate aspirations could be a factor in poverty and that interventions may help raise aspirations and behaviors.
Aspirations and Well-being in Rural Ethiopia
This document summarizes a study on aspirations and well-being in rural Ethiopia. It presents an aspirations framework that views aspirations as future-oriented goals that motivate investment of time, effort or resources. The study conducted an experiment in rural Ethiopia where mini-documentaries showing local success stories were screened for randomly selected individuals to exogenously impact their aspirations. The experiment found that the documentaries increased individuals' aspirations, expectations, and behaviors like children's schooling expenditures, time allocation, savings, and hypothetical loan demand, both directly and indirectly through social interactions, even six months later. This provided support for the hypothesis that exogenous shocks can impact an "aspiration window" and behaviors. The findings suggest aspirations are
Parental aspirations for children's education
1) The document summarizes an experimental study that examined whether exposing rural Ethiopian parents to "role model" documentaries could positively impact their educational and financial aspirations, especially for girls.
2) The study found that while the documentaries increased overall parental aspirations and investments in children's education, it did not reduce the pre-existing gender gap in aspirations and investments, which were on average lower for girls compared to boys.
3) Five years after the screenings, the positive impacts on aspirations and investments in education remained, but again the gender differences were not significantly impacted.

Making The Case Ml
Investing in youth programs can provide significant long-term economic and social benefits despite short-term costs and political constraints faced by finance ministers. Not investing in youth risks missing opportunities to improve economic growth and jobs through developing human capital and establishing healthy behaviors early on. The evidence shows programs that provide youth with information, skills training, health services and job opportunities can have high returns by closing information gaps, facilitating employment, and preventing costly issues down the line like disease and social problems. Finance ministers should focus on cost-effective programs that have been shown to work based on evidence from evaluations.

This document discusses building assets for a safe, healthy, and productive transition to adulthood for girls. It outlines the need for visibility of the issue at global and national levels, as well as evidence to support programs. Key program components discussed are safe spaces, mentors, life skills education, and financial literacy. The document also addresses scale-up, resources, and next steps such as addressing broader gender norms, linking programs to economic empowerment, and conducting long-term impact studies.
Applying Behavioral Economics
The document discusses how behavioral economics can be applied to improve social service programs and client outcomes. It explains concepts from behavioral economics like bounded rationality, heuristics, framing, and loss aversion. It provides examples of how these concepts influence financial decision making and recommendations for using insights from behavioral economics to better design programs, messages, and services. The document advocates applying these insights to enhance client understanding, program enrollment and success, through approaches like reframing financial education, addressing time preferences, and employing nudges and defaults.

The document summarizes a project in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa that aims to build assets and reduce vulnerability among youth. It describes the socioeconomic challenges in the region like poverty, unemployment, and HIV. The project uses participatory learning with boys and girls to prepare them for opportunities and risks. Students are randomized into groups receiving different combinations of HIV education, social support, and financial capability training. Evaluations assess changes in knowledge, behaviors, and economic outcomes through surveys, interviews, and diaries. Preliminary findings show improvements in areas like budgeting skills, savings, and social networks.Constrained Multiplier Analysis.pdf
This document discusses constrained multiplier analysis by relaxing the assumption of unlimited factor resources. It introduces the concept of constraining some sectors' production levels to model resource constraints in agriculture, mining, and government services. The constrained multiplier formula is derived, distinguishing between supply-unconstrained and constrained sectors. A matrix format is used to represent the formula, with the constrained multiplier calculated as the inverse of the identity matrix minus an adjusted coefficient matrix, multiplied by the exogenous components matrix. Readers are directed to a worksheet exercise to calculate constrained multipliers using the mathematical equations and Excel functions.
Unconstrained Multiplier Analysis.pptx
This document provides an introduction to multiplier analysis using social accounting matrices (SAM). It outlines how economic linkages transmit the effects of exogenous demand shocks through an economy. The direct and indirect effects are explained, with indirect effects including consumption and production linkages. An unconstrained SAM multiplier model is presented, with formulas derived to calculate economy-wide output, income, and sectoral responses to exogenous changes in demand. Exercises are provided to build a multiplier model in Excel and calculate multipliers.

Sustainable Food Systems
This document discusses sustainable food systems. It defines a food system as encompassing all actors and activities involved in food production, processing, distribution, consumption and disposal. A sustainable food system is one that provides food security and nutrition for current and future generations without compromising economic, social or environmental sustainability. It must be economically viable, socially equitable, and have neutral or positive environmental impacts. The food system is driven by biophysical, demographic, technological, political, economic and socio-cultural factors.
Impact of the PSNP (2006-2021)
The document summarizes Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP), a large social protection program that aims to smooth food consumption and protect assets for chronically food insecure communities. Key points:
- The PSNP provides direct transfers and public works projects to build community assets like roads and irrigation. It supports up to 8 million beneficiaries with a budget of $0.5 billion annually.
- Independent evaluations show the PSNP improved household food security and dietary diversity but had little impact on child nutrition outcomes. It did not reduce labor supply or crowd out private transfers.
- While the PSNP enhanced resilience, graduation remains a challenge. Targeting in lowland areas also proved difficult. Ensuring timely payments
Some Welfare Consequences of COVID-19 in Ethiopia
1) The study examines the impacts of COVID-19 on food marketing margins in Ethiopia using phone surveys of farmers, wholesalers, and retailers conducted in February 2020 and May 2020.
2) The surveys found that over 50% of farmers reported receiving less income in May compared to usual times, though most planned to continue vegetable production. Wholesalers reported decreased transport options and client numbers but stable or lower costs, while most retailers saw lower client numbers but stable or lower costs and losses.
3) Retail prices for the main vegetables remained quite stable between February and May, suggesting marketing margins absorbed most impacts of COVID-19 disruptions on vegetable supply chains in Ethiopia during the
Improving evidence for better policy making in Ethiopia’s livestock sector
1. The document discusses Ethiopia's evolving livestock sector and improving evidence for better policy making.
2. While livestock contributed little to GDP growth, there is considerable potential for growth given Ethiopia's large livestock populations and rising demand for animal-sourced foods.
3. Factors like education, household size, extension services, and herd size are positively associated with adoption of improved practices and inputs like vaccination and cross-breeding.
The COVID-19 Pandemic and Food Security in Ethiopia – An Interim Analysis
This document summarizes the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on food security in Ethiopia. It finds that the pandemic is likely to have large short-term negative economic effects through impacts on exports, imports, remittances and domestic lockdown measures. This will reduce GDP, household incomes, employment and agricultural market functioning. Many households are already experiencing income losses, higher food prices and shifts away from nutritious foods. Recommendations include continuing the government's response, addressing misinformation, expanding social safety nets and implementing selective lockdowns.

The document summarizes the effects of COVID-19 on agricultural value chains in Ethiopia. It discusses how measures taken to prevent spread of the virus, such as closing land borders and restricting movement between regional states, have reduced economic activity. It then outlines an assessment of local rural-urban value chains to understand how the pandemic is impacting farmers' incomes, market access, and food security. The assessment will focus on commodities like potatoes, onions, and tomatoes that rely on transportation between rural and urban areas. Recommendations will be made on how to minimize disruptions to the agricultural sector during this crisis.

AFFORDABILITY OF Nutritious foods IN ETHIOPIA
This document summarizes research on the affordability of nutritious diets in Ethiopia. It finds that between 2001 and 2017, the cost of the least expensive diet providing adequate calories and nutrients for an adult woman increased 67% from $0.91 to $1.52. While real prices of some staple foods have decreased in recent years, prices of nutrient-rich foods like dairy, eggs, and meat have increased substantially. However, overall affordability has improved due to rising incomes. Still, ensuring adequate supply of nutritious foods is important to keep their prices low.
The EAT Lancet Publication: Implications for Nutrition Health and Planet
The document discusses a publication by the EAT-Lancet Commission that aimed to define global scientific targets for healthy diets from sustainable food systems. It established a reference diet of 2500 calories per day consisting of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, plant proteins, unsaturated fats, and limited red meat and sugar. Current diets vary widely from this target. The commission also set planetary boundaries related to greenhouse gas emissions, land and water use, and nutrient flows to define a safe operating space for food production. Global modeling was used to identify combinations of measures needed to meet dietary targets sustainably by 2050, such as shifting diets, reducing food waste, and improving agricultural practices.
Sustainable Undernutrition Reduction in Ethiopia (SURE): Evaluation studies
The SURE program is a government-led multisectoral intervention in Ethiopia that aims to reduce undernutrition through a package of interventions like joint household visits, cooking demonstrations, and media campaigns. Evaluation studies of SURE used a quasi-experimental design and found that children's dietary diversity is positively associated with reduced stunting, and that household production of fruits and vegetables was linked to increased child dietary diversity and reduced stunting. However, the studies also found variability in the delivery of nutrition messages across households and limited awareness of nutrition guidelines among local officials.
Policies and Programs on food and Nutrition in Ethiopia
This document outlines policies and programs on food and nutrition in Ethiopia. It discusses nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions, and the pathways through which nutrition-sensitive interventions can affect diet and food systems. It then provides an overview of Ethiopia's policy landscape on food and nutrition, outlining various strategies and policies that aim to improve nutrition, including the Food, Nutrition and Policy, Agriculture Growth Program Phase II, Productive Safety Net Program, and National Nutrition Program. The document concludes that Ethiopia has a favorable policy environment for improving diets and nutrition, but effective implementation, coordination, evidence-based scaling up of interventions, and strong monitoring and evaluation are still needed.

Bottlenecks for healthy diets in Ethiopia
1) Access to nutritious foods is challenging for many households in Ethiopia, especially low-income households, due to high costs and an inability to afford animal-source proteins, zinc, iron, and other micronutrients that are critical for young children's development.
2) A study found that households in Ethiopia spend around 25,000 birr per year on food, with 14,535 birr from purchases and 11,000 birr from own production, but still struggle to meet half of nutritional requirements for children under two.
3) Factors like religious fasting practices and lack of separate feeding plates for children can negatively impact children's diet diversity in Ethiopia. Increased investment in small and
Diets and stunting in Ethiopia
Kaleab Baye presented on diets and stunting in Ethiopia. Stunting rates have declined overall but inequalities persist, with the lowest wealth quintile having the highest rates. Complementary foods in Ethiopia are often low in quantity, diversity, and quality. Improving maternal and child nutrition requires interventions across food systems to increase availability, accessibility, and affordability of nutrient-dense foods as well as improving caregiver feeding practices and maternal health. Comprehensive measures are needed to assess diet quality and reduce consumption of unhealthy foods and risks to food safety.
Irrigation-Nutrition Linkages
This document discusses the linkages between irrigation and nutrition in Ethiopia. It notes that Ethiopia's Food and Nutrition Policy and Nutrition Sensitive Agricultural Strategy recognize the role of irrigation in improving nutritional outcomes. There are several pathways through which irrigation can impact nutrition, such as increasing food production, household income, access to water, and women's empowerment. Studies show that children and women in irrigating households in Ethiopia have better dietary diversity and nutrient intake, as well as reduced stunting and wasting, compared to non-irrigating households. Therefore, promoting irrigation can help improve nutrition in addition to increasing income and agricultural yields.

Editor's Notes
- A large measure therefore refers to a low level of aspiration Note: the exogenously set maximum is not determinant in itself as long as it is the same for all individuals. However, since they are locally specific and have a framing effect, they may limit the use of instrument for cross-surveys comparisons. So for now, the instrument is mostly to be used to test aspiration relationships.
