%0 Journal Article %T Policy Coherence and Social Protection in Ethiopia: Ensuring No One Is Left Behind %A Logan Cochrane %A Melisew Dejene Lemma %J - %D 2019 %R https://doi.org/10.3390/soc9010019 %X Abstract Ethiopia has made a strong commitment to strengthen its social protection system. However, resource constraints pose significant challenges in seeking to meet the basic needs of all people. We employ a qualitative research design to identify issues of policy incoherence, within the social protection policy and in relation to other sectoral policies. Policy incoherence has high costs. Strengthening policy coherence is necessary to improve the utilization of limited resources and set a pathway through which the government can ensure no one is left behind. We also present examples of implementation coherence, which provide insight into viable means through which improved policy coherence might be pursued.
