The World Bank says its grant to Ethiopia will go towards helping people begin a new life from the war. PHOTO | AFPEthiopia on Wednesday received a massive boost to rebuild from the Tigray war after the World Bank agreed to disburse $300 million targeted at local communities whose lives have been destroyed.
The money given under the International Development Association (IDA) is part of the bank’s Ethiopia project known as the Response-Recovery-Resilience for Conflict Communities.
It will partly go to reconstructing local facilities such as health centers and other amenities but will also help locals get assistance for effects of war, such as sexual violations and gender-based violence (GBV), the bank said.
