Ethiopia is a developing country with dynamic and ongoing problems such as climate-related shocks, land degradation, unemployment, inadequate agricultural diversification, and a lack of robust and long-lasting social support systems. Resilience cannot be solely understood in terms of conventional agriculture, disaster risk reduction, or fundamental social services provided at the local level.
