Administrator Natsios Visits Ethiopia (January, 2003)
These photos chronicle USAID Administrator Andrew S. Natsios's visit to Ethiopia from Thursday, January 16th until Monday, January 20th. During the 4-day visit, Natsios toured drought affected areas, met with Ethiopians affected by the drought and with government officials and visited a number of development programs and initiatives funded by the U.S. government. In addition, Natsios and USAID's Assistant Administrator for Africa, Constance Berry Newman, attended the Economic Conference for Africa's (ECA) Big Table meeting.
The long-term goal of USAID assistance to Ethiopia is to reduce chronic food insecurity. To reach that goal, USAID/Ethiopia's strategy supports activities in six areas: 1) increasing production and productivity of rural households; 2) improving family health; 3) improving primary education systems; 4) strengthening civil society and governance; 5) mitigating the effects of disasters; and 6) improving the livelihoods for pastoralists and agro-pastoralists in southern Ethiopia.
