Ethiopia launches $30 million nutrition program – New Business Ethiopia
It is a $30 million partnership agreement with a match-funding of 50 per cent from the three implementing partners which will be implemented across 10 regions in Ethiopia. However, despite the progress, more than 5.8 million children under five years are affected by stunting and 1.2 million are affected by wasting. “Improving maternal nutrition is important to ensure women’s health and achieve better pregnancy and birth outcomes. Equally, the prevention of wasting and stunting will promote optimal growth for children to thrive in a productive workforce. Over the five years, the programme will reach at least one million pregnant women and three million children with vital health and nutrition services.

July 4: What Freedom Means For The Wrongly Incarcerated
Photos: Innocence Project\John JayWith July Fourth coming up, there’s likely going to be a lot of talk about freedom and its significance for different people. To me and to others who’ve been wrongly incarcerated, freedom has a deeply personal meaning. I call them battle scars because freedom comes at a fight, and that’s what I did for 22 years — fight for my freedom. Take a moment to watch this video I filmed to hear what freedom means to me, someone who was wrongly incarcerated, and then share it with your friends on social media. Two years after losing Stephen, I was wrongly convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.

What Israel’s Ethiopian Jews Can Teach Us About Balance and Diversity
Four years ago I was presented with the opportunity to develop and direct a film about Operation Solomon, the 1991 airlift of 14,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel. Asher’s words at the UN were not wrong, but they were quite understandably presenting the story in stark terms lacking a complexity and nuance that took into account the full experience of the Ethiopian Jews. (Naim later explored these complexities in his memoir and continued to serve the Ethiopian Israeli community until he passed away in 2015.) That lack of nuance and complexity continues in how the Ethiopian Jewish community’s narrative has been shared until today. This image reveals a critical difference between the BLM protests and those of the Ethiopian Israeli community.

Kenya to connect to Ethiopia, Tanzania electricity grids in 2022
NAIROBI, July 1 (Xinhua) -- The construction of the electricity interconnectors linking Kenya's transmission lines to the Ethiopian and Tanzanian national electricity grids will be completed in 2022, a government official said on Friday. Antony Wamukota, acting managing director of the state-owned Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) told an electricity forum in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, that the Kenya-Ethiopia line will be completed in October while the Kenya-Tanzania line will be finished by December. "The purpose of the connections with neighbors is to operationalize the East Africa power pool that seeks to facilitate regional power trade," Wamukota said during the Ketraco third annual research conference. "The transmission line to Ethiopia will evacuate hydropower from Ethiopia which is much cheaper electricity as compared to Kenya and will result in lower energy costs to consumers," he added. "The electricity interconnections will permit trade of electricity from countries with surplus power to those with a power deficit," Wamukota said.
