Development Gap Analysis of Children and Women in Afar

The book "Development Gap Analysis of Children and Women in Afar" provides a comprehensive analysis of the implementation of the Five-Year Growth and Transformation Plan (2010/11-2014/15) in the Afar region. It examines the key achievements, challenges, and measures taken during the first two years of the plan, and compares the region's performance with national averages and other regions. The analysis is based on a variety of administrative and survey data sourced from regional, national, and international sources. This data was supplemented by field visits and focus group discussions to create a solid foundation for dialogue between regional and national governments as well as international development partners. The document aims to evaluate ongoing development policies and strategies and to shape interventions.
