Policy LINK in Ethiopia. USAID/Policy LINK Ethiopia is a five-year activity with the overall objective of supporting the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) and other policy system actors in their aspiration to develop an inclusive policy development process.

Project Background

The Feed the Future Policy LINK project will strengthen the capacity of local actors and institutions to enable them to efficiently lead and manage the agricultural transformation process and contribute effectively and collectively to improved, broad-based food security policy outcomes.

Specifically, the program aims to strengthen food security policy systems by investing in and reinforcing productive human and social capital and developing strategic partnerships that help bring these innovations and capacity investments to scale to achieve a critical mass of local actors with the ability and opportunity to effect positive policy change through collective action. Policy LINK’s general approach is grounded in facilitative leadership and collaborative governance, which emphasize engaging stakeholders from civil society and public and private sectors in consensus-oriented decision making, collaborative problem solving, and adaptive learning.Policy LINK in Ethiopia

The Champions for Food Security (C4FS) Activity is implementing two USAID/Ethiopia-funded sub activities: 1) Policy Systems Strengthening and 2) the Partnership for Lowlands Resilience. Both sub activities support the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) and other development actors in their aspirationto transform Ethiopia through facilitating an inclusive policy development process and enhancing collaboration and coordination of resilience partners in lowlands. Specifically, the activity will facilitate the transition towards a new multiple stakeholders driven paradigm infused with greater use of evidence in development decision-making, inclusion, collaboration, and coordination.

C4FS will reinforce the capacity of the Ministry of Irrigation and Lowlands in partnership with regional state governments and universities to coordinate, collaborate, and communicate effectively and efficiently at the federal, regional, and woreda levels among development partners implementing resilience activities in lowland pastoral areas.

C4FS will help build and strengthen the backbone system for the coordination of development programming in selected woredas in lowland areas. Specifically, C4FS will offer facilitation and technical support to the Ministry of Irrigation and Lowlands, relevant regional governments, implementing partners, and multistakeholder platforms at the woreda level.

In pilot woredas, C4FS will support government and development partners to develop joint action plans, identify complementary interventions, design joint measurement systems, and maintain open and frequent communication.
