| Summary: | Located in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia
is the second most populous country in Sub-Saharan Africa,
home to more than 100 million people. Over 80 percent of
Ethiopia's population live in rural areas, with
agriculture functioning as the backbone of the
country's economy. In the past decade, Ethiopia has
become one of the world's fastest growing economies,
with a 10.9 percent growth rate that represents twice the
region's average growth rate of 5 percent. This growth
positively impacted the country's extreme poverty rate,
which fell 24 percentage points between 2000 and 2011.The
Ethiopian government has made universal access to
electricity a goal that it aims to reach by 2025; it aims to
achieve this by including off-grid technologies — inclusive
of mini-grids and off-grid solar solutions — in its
universal electrification strategy. The government has also
made access to modern energy cooking solutions a priority,
which is significant in a country that traditionally uses
biomass as its primary fuel (evident in more than 90 percent
of the country's households). To learn more about these
facts and the Multi-Tier Framework (MTF) results and
