Breaking barriers to women’s participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics in Ethiopia

Nations across the globe are striving to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is expected to play crucial roles in achieving these sustainable development goals. Unfortunately, most countries in Africa are not fully utilizing the potential of their entire population, including girls and women. The participation of women in STEM is paramount to improving women’s economic security and stability, ensuring a diverse and talented workforce, and augmenting national development efforts. With this understanding, countries like Ethiopia have taken policy measures intended to increase the proportion of women in STEM fields of study, employment, and leadership in higher education institutions. This study sought to understand if and how various policies implemented by the Ethiopian government have addressed gendered disparities in STEM in the country’s public higher education system

Drivers of disparity : how policy responses to COVID-19 can increase inequalities

Countries across the world have deployed macroeconomic policies to address the negative economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown measures. However, these policies can have different outcomes for various segments of the population. This policy briefing assesses the channels through which macroeconomic policy responses in Nigeria and Uganda negatively affect or exclude specific groups, with the aim of resetting policies to achieve more inclusive outcomes that will support economic growth and development in the postCOVID future. It finds that the urban poor and the informal sector are being excluded as a result of the poor coverage of cash transfer programmes and the implementation of policies mostly applicable to the formal sector. Loans to low-income borrowers are not likely to increase despite downward revisions to the monetary policy rate, while importers and poorer households will be the worst hit by exchange rate adjustments in Nigeria. While the middle class and rich are affected by the removal of subsidies in Nigeria, those living in poverty do not benefit from the budget restructuring in Uganda

Macroeconomic policy development in Tanzania

Since independence, Tanzania has experienced a series of economic shocks, which have pushed the country into an economic crisis. From mid-1980 onwards, major macroeconomic variables have been fluctuating, forcing the government to intervene through fiscal and monetary policies, with mixed results. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 further disrupted any macroeconomic performance achieved earlier. In response, the BoT adopted macroeconomic policies aimed at shielding the economy from further deterioration by injecting greater funding into the public sector, for example through the healthcare sector. This was aimed at containing the spread of the pandemic. This policy briefing discusses macroeconomic policy development in Tanzania with the objective of informing policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic
