From evidence to impact
Background: Research–policy partnerships are widely used to support evidence-informed reform, yet how evidence actually shapes policy and practice in low-income education systems remains poorly understood. This article asks how, and under what relational and institutional conditions, evidence generated by Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE) Ethiopia contributed to national policy on equity, learning and accountability. Methods/data:…
Student composition, equity, and mathematics learning outcomes during a time of educational reforms in Ethiopia
This paper assesses the extent to which the implementation of a complex educational reform in Ethiopia was associated with changes in mathematics test scores for Grade 4 pupils from 2012–13 to 2018–19. During this period, while mathematics teachers’ educational qualifications and teacher content knowledge in mathematics improved, students in 2018–19 achieved, on average, lower test scores in mathematics than those in 2012–13. However, they also s…

A dream come true'? Adolescents' perspectives on urban relocation and life in condominiums in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Relocation from inner cities and rehousing in suburbs is becoming an increasingly prevalent issue in developing countries. However, there is limited evidence about the perspectives of adolescents and most studies are from western contexts. In addressing this gap this study tracked adolescents before and after they were relocated over an eight-year interval from the centre of Addis Ababa to the outskirts, mainly to government-sponsored condominium…
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in a Low-Income Country in Sub-Saharan Africa
A worsening trend of critical shortages in senior health care workers across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in sub-Saharan Africa has been documented for decades. This is especially the case in Ethiopia that has severe shortage of mental health professionals. Consistent with the WHO recommended approach of task sharing for mental health care in LMICs, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is an empirically validated psychologic…
Feasibility and acceptability of brief individual interpersonal psychotherapy among university students with mental distress in Ethiopia
IPT-E was feasible and acceptable to treat university students with mental distress in low-income country setting. The preliminary results also suggest promising viability of IPT-E in higher education institutions of low-income country setting for students with symptoms of anxiety and depression
A comparison of levels and predictors of emotional problems among preadolescent Ethiopians in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Toronto, Canada
According to a literature of theory and advocacy, immigration and resettlement jeopardize the mental health of children and youth, largely because of factors such as intergenerational tensions arising from conflicts about the retention of traditional values, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. The current study examines the specificity of these putative mental health risks to the immigration experience. The level and predictors of em…
Effect of trauma on quality of life as mediated by mental distress and moderated by coping and social support among postconflict displaced Ethiopians
The Eritrean Question
There has been an armed struggle for independence in Eritrea since the dismantling of its 'federation' with Ethiopia in 1962. Particularly since the fall of the imperial régime in 1974, the war has claimed many lives, and continues to cause economic and social dislocation in the region. Despite what has happened during the past three decades, however, the so-called 'Eritrean question' remains a widely misunderstood phenomenon, not least because t…
