The Development Assistance Group (DAG) and Rural Economic Development & Food Security (RED-FS) platforms are two development policy fora between Development Partners (DPs) and the Government of Ethiopia (GoE). They play a critical role in the implementation, coordination and monitoring GoE’s 2nd Growth & Transformation Plan[1] (GTPII). This contribution will allow Switzerland to actively participate in discussions and to link its programmes to existing policy processes for upscaling and policy influencing.

Background |
GoE devised and started implementing GTPII, which spans over 5 years from 2015/16 to 2019/21. DPs support it through coordination and harmonization mechanisms, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) mainstreamed in the GTPII. Ethiopia’s aid delivery architecture, which evolved rapidly in recent years, has seen the establishment of the DAG in 2011 as a dialogue forum to discuss GoE/DPs development policies and processes. The current DAG structure comprises:
The RED-FS SWG was jointly established under the DAG umbrella in 2008 by GoE and DPs in order to strengthen and harmonize respective activities in Agriculture, Sustainable Land Management (SLM), Disaster Risk Management (DRM), and Food Security (FS). Its functioning is supported through contributions of both GoE and DPs. To ensure functional continuity, the SDC, in collaboration with the German Development Cooperation (GDC), will support the RED-FS Secretariat and the DAG from 15.04.2017 to 14.04.2021. |
