Ethiopia is the second-most populated country in Africa, having experienced significant economic and social progress in recent decades. However, conflict and insecurity still persist, with historical notability in the Tigray region.

Ethiopia also continues to suffer from severe droughts, driving extreme food insecurity and dilapidated livelihood opportunities. A general deficit of resources to advance development has also challenged the strategy to attend to an ongoing cholera outbreak. With these challenges, there are more than 900,000 people displaced within Ethiopia.
