Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy in Ethiopia
Half of the study participants were in the vaccine rejectors class. Individuals in the vaccine sceptics and rejector classes evidenced lower vaccine knowledge and worse COVD-19 prevention practices and were less likely to have been partially vaccinated. Future program interventions should focus on improving knowledge around the vaccine, decrease rumors and misconceptions, and target individuals who may be more amenable to changing their vaccinati…
Rethinking the future-seeking narrative of child migration
Recent research on child migration has largely departed from the early trafficking narrative and has tended to highlight young people’s agency and the ways in which children’s migration can play a key role in their ‘future-seeking’. While we acknowledge that Ethiopian girls migrating to the Middle East in order to undertake domestic work primarily move voluntarily for economic reasons, our research – which used a multi-layered, qualitative resear…
Childhood poverty and evidence-based policy engagement in Ethiopia
This article explores efforts to bridge multi-disciplinary research and policy engagement to tackle child poverty in the contexts of developing countries, based on the experiences of Young Lives, an international longitudinal policy-research project. It focuses on a case study involving the application of research evidence on child poverty to shape policy debates concerning Ethiopia¿s second-generation Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (2006¿2010)…

The complexities of intergenerational and gendered intra-household resource allocations are frequently overlooked in poverty reduction policies. To address this lacuna, this article focuses on links between macro-development policies and children's paid and unpaid work burden in Ethiopia. Using a mixed methods approach, quantitative household survey data results highlight the importance of household wealth and assets, family composition and acces…
Integrating health services
In the Wollo region of Ethiopia, many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) stayed on after providing relief and emergency medical services during the 1984–5 famine. Initially they adopted different strategies for supporting health development - their approaches, strengths and weaknesses are discussed. Since 1988, the Save the Children Fund UK (SCF) and subsequently other NGOs have further integrated their programmes with the Ministry of Health (…
