    The World in 2050

    The future of agriculture and water laid out at Dublin conference

    Building on gender policy reforms in Ethiopia

    Ethiopians have a saying: “Little by little, the egg begins to walk.” This is certainly true of step-by-step progress towards gender equality on the African continent.

And as populations around the world continue to grow, the region's most vulnerable people will be faced with even greater challenges in the coming decades.
