| Summary: | Ethiopia’s economy has grown rapidly
over the last two decades, leading to significant national
poverty reduction, but there were significant differences in
the pace and nature of poverty reduction across Ethiopia’s
eleven regions. Based on the national poverty line, poverty
decreased from 46 percent in 1996 to 24 percent in 2016
nationwide. Poverty decreased in all the regions,
particularly after 2005 when growth became more robust.
Although regional disparities remained fairly low, regional
poverty rates converged until 2011 only to begin diverging
again in 2016. |
