While pursuing Ethiopia’s primary growth aim of achieving middle-income status, a green growth strategy will need to better engage people who depend upon natural assets or who suffer from environmental hazards, developing opportunities to improve the wellbeing of specific groups of poor people through participating in green economic activity. Next steps in implementing the CRGE will need to put the regions, people (especially women, youth and marginalised groups) and business (in both the formal and informal economy) at the centre. On the one hand, it ensures that everyone can participate in the growth process, offering their information and opinions and taking part in decisionmaking, as well as in participating in growth activities themselves, benefit-sharing and monitoring green growth activity.
