In Ethiopia, cooperatives play a key role in local development and poverty reduction by improving market access and financial services for rural communities.

Reducing poverty in Africa - Realistic targets for the post-2015 MDGs and Age...Barka Foundation
The eradication of extreme poverty is a key component of the post-2015 MDG process and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. This paper uses the
International Futures forecasting system to explore this goal and finds that many African states are unlikely to make this target by 2030. In addition to
the use of country-level targets, this paper argues in favour of a goal that would see Africa as a whole reducing extreme poverty to below 20% by 2030
(15% using 2011 purchasing power parity), and to below 3% by 2063.

Key outcomes of the pilot program include demonstrating the benefits of collaboration between statutory and NGO partners to achieve positive outcomes for migrants with no means of support in Ireland.
Evaluation of the impact of the free movement of EU citizens at local levelBarka Foundation
This document provides an evaluation of the impact of free movement of EU citizens at the local level. It examines local policies and impacts in six cities: Barcelona, Dublin, Hamburg, Lille, Prague, and Turin. The study finds that intra-EU mobility has led to economic and social impacts in these cities, with EU mobile citizens filling jobs and supporting key industries. However, EU mobile citizens do not always have the same opportunities as locals in areas like employment, housing, and education. As a result, cities have implemented inclusion policies across domains such as employment, entrepreneurship, cultural dialogue, housing, education, attitudes toward migration, and civic participation to foster successful integration and maximize the benefits of mobility.
