1) The study assesses the impact of road construction and soil and water conservation (SWC) projects on agricultural yield growth in Ethiopia's Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) areas between 2006-2012. 2) It finds that while road construction did not significantly increase yields, SWC projects like terracing and tree planting had a positive 2.8% effect on yield growth. 3) SWC projects help rehabilitate soil and water resources, reducing flooding and erosion hazards while increasing moisture and biodiversity - important in Ethiopia's drought-prone PSNP areas.
