This two-year research project aims to diagnose the causes of South Africa’s economic challenges and collaborate with government and beyond to accelerate growth and include more South Africans in the process.

The Growth Lab and the Government of Ethiopia initiated this engagement in 2019 to advance research, policy analysis, and knowledge sharing toward the goal of sustaining rapid and inclusive growth in the country. Over the three-and-a-half-year project, the Ethiopian economy faced pandemic, conflict, drought, and a range of other challenges.
