Noting the death of Ethiopia's prime minister on Monday, IRIN "looks at his legacy in promoting food self-sufficiency and fighting rural poverty in a country historically associated with drought and environmental stress," writing, "During his two decades in power, Meles Zenawi committed himself to ending Ethiopia's dependence on food aid." The news service provides an overview of food security issues in Ethiopia and highlights the Productive Safety Net Programme, "a social cash transfer pilot program and a commodity exchange" enacted under Zenawi (8/22).
