The PIRC team recently conducted a field visit together with the Village Enterprise Ethiopia country office team to assess the eligibility of kebeles for the new Village Enterprise graduation program. The joint PIRC–VE team visited Gimbo and Shisho Inde woredas in the Keffa Zone of the South West Ethiopia Region. This marks our first research engagement in the capacity of PIRC, with funding provided by HereWeGrow and Village Enterprise. The eligibility assessment will inform the finalization of the research design for the evaluation of the graduation program, which will be carried out as a collaborative effort between IPA and PIRC.
