POLICY COHERENCE IN THE ETHIOPIAN FOOD SYSTEMS TRANSFORMATION EFFORT
The issue of policy coherence has gained growing significance in development discussions over the past few decades. It was also emphasized in the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and is highlighted in Sustainable Development Goal 17. Similarly, it has been noted by both experts and researchers that fragmented policies and isolated thinking can hinder the effectiveness of policy implementation, often leading to unexpected adverse outcomes (Monticone and Samoggia, 2023; Parsons and Barling, 2022).
