Ethiopia Introduces New Tax to Fill Gap After USAID Funding Pause
By Samuel Getachew
Ethiopia’s parliament on Thursday introduced a new tax for all workers as part of measures to fill the financial gap left by the USAID funding pause.
The funds collected will go to a new Ethiopian Disaster Risk Response Fund to pay for projects previously funded by USAID, Ethiopia’s biggest partner for development and humanitarian efforts.
