Bilateral development aid - 2018
Bilateral development aid for Ethiopia in 2018 was limited to supporting minor projects in education and health care, as well as scholarships for Ethiopian students enrolled at Polish universities. Scaling down the cooperation was the result of the unstable internal situation in Ethiopia due to conflicts between ethnic and religious groups and mass migrations of the population (almost 3 million internally displaced persons as a result of domestic unrest).
The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Addis Ababa completed five development projects aimed at improving the conditions of pre-school and early school education and health care. Furnishing educational facilities with teaching and recreational equipment had a positive impact on the physical and emotional development of children. The modernized infrastructure of health care facilities and more modern medical devices helped improve the standard of perinatal and neonatal care and assistance provided to HIV patients.
In 2018, the total ODA for Ethiopia was PLN 809,700
