Ethiopia is an agrarian nation, with about 3/4 of the population working in agriculture, which accounts for almost half of GDP.

Following a trip to the county in November 2023, Peggy Dulany (Synergos’ Founder and Chair) shares some observations about our work to improve government capacity to meet its goals on agriculture in ways that benefit smallholder farmers. This includes meeting senior government leaders who had completed a Synergos leadership training program as well as an innovative project in the south of the country that employs youth to help to improve farmer yields that is supported by the Helmsley Charitable Trust.
