The Italian Development Cooperation in Addis Ababa coordinates the Italian Government's assistance programs for Ethiopia. Currently, Ethiopia is one of the biggest beneficiaries among developing countries that receive Italian aid. Between 1981 and 2005, the country was awarded 676 million euros in grants.
A wide ranging program of Italian aid, covering areas of fundamental importance for the wellbeing of the Ethiopian people, is being fully implemented in areas such as health, education, industrial development, and food security & rural development. The ongoing program, which also includes the promotion of the private sector as an engine for economic growth, has a global value of about 322.5 million Euros; out of this amount, 220 million Euros is a soft loan while the rest is a grant.
The Government of Italy shares the vision of a strong, healthy, and prosperous Ethiopia with the citizens of this country, and therefore, will continue to support development initiatives that will put Ethiopians on the right path to development.
