My thesis is going to be based on Policy Coherence in Ethiopia. First i will give you a brief background of Ethiopia.

Ethiopia, country on the Horn of Africa. The capital is Addis Ababa (Wubneh, 2013). Ethiopia is the largest and most populated country in the Horn of Africa and it is landlocked. Migration is a significant problem..Although some areas tend to benefit from migration other areas suffer due to the competition for limited resources. It has been noticed that in recent years that there has been more low skilled female migrants in Ethiopia (Zewdu, 2018). The climate has also been changing in the last number of years. The temperature has been increasing in Ethiopia and rainfall has been decreasing. This putting agricultural systems at risk (Zegeye, 2018).

Due to the problems posed and the threat of migration due to climate change the Government of Ethiopia has implemented policies that will which tackle climate change, migration and agriculture in the country. Some of these policies can be found on the WHO website which I will link below.

In a few days time i will decribe what policy coherence is and why it is important!
