description Ethiopian households face daunting challenges due to inflation, conflict, drought, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite significant socio-economic growth, the country remains highly susceptible to climate-induced shocks, compounded by destructive conflicts and persistent insecurity (1). Ethiopia is one of the most impacted countries in the world regarding food security, with up to 20 million (16% of the population) suffering from severe food insecurity (2,3). Many children are dropping out of school due to hunger (3). This predicament is exacerbated by students' inability to concentrate or attend class, either due to hunger or familial obligations to seek food.
