This research explores how global climate policies are articulated within national policy priorities in Ethiopia, which shares many common features with other least developed countries (LDCs) in Africa. The focus of the study is on pastoral communities, which have been adversely affected by climate change, which is generally expected to hit developing countries harder than industrialized countries.This results since LDCs are less capable of mitigating or adapting to climatic changes due to poverty and high dependence on the environment for subsistence (UNDP, 2007).

The purpose of this paper is to provide an historical account and a critical appraisal of educational policies in Ethiopia since 1941. The study, if lacking in as much detail as might have been desired, has placed in perspective the educational performance of Ethiopia during a period of nearly one-half of a century.

In Africa, the agricultural sector dominates rural livelihoods and the economy. The overwhelming majority of rural residents are smallholder farmers (Joughin, 2014; Thijssen et al., 2008); this is also true for Ethiopia and Uganda. Without access to alternative sources of food or income, smallholders are highly vulnerable to fluctuations in weather patterns (Di Falco et al., 2010), to changes in government support (World Bank, 2015), and to shifts in both local and international markets (Joughin, 2014; Alemu, 2010).

Productivity growth is a precondition for increasing people’s living standards and maintaining competitiveness in the globalised economy. Low total factor productivity is the key reason for persistent poverty in developing countries. The productivity gap separating poor and rich countries has never been as deep as it is today. Poor countries in particular thus need to emphasise productivity growth to alleviate poverty.

The International Development Research Centre is a public corporation created by the Parliament of Canada in 1970 to support research designed to adapt science and technology to the needs of developing countries. The Centre's activity is concentrated in six sectors: agriculture, food and nutrition sciences; health sciences; information sciences; social sciences; earth and engineering sciences; and communications. IDRC is financed solely by the Parliament of Canada; its policies, however, are set by an international Board of Governors. The Centre's headquarters are in Ottawa, Canada.

Ethiopia women are actively involved in all aspects of their society`s life. The fact that women are both producers and procreators, as well as active participants in the social, political and cultural activities of their communities has enabled them to play an all round role. The discriminatory political, economic and social rules and regulations prevailing in the country (which constitute discrimination against women) have barred women from enjoying the fruits of their labor. Thus, deprived of equal opportunities, they are made to lag behind men in all fields of self advancement.
