The African Development Bank has launched a new strategy to support Eritrea’s growth and resilience. According to AfDB documentation, the country continues to experience severe development constraints, including limited transport infrastructure, low energy access, and high exposure to climate shocks. These factors reduce national productivity and restrict Eritrea’s participation in regional trade.

The Bank notes that prolonged drought episodes have affected agricultural output, contributing to food insecurity with cross-border implications for the Horn of Africa. The strategy therefore prioritises support for water management systems, climate-resilient agriculture, and rural infrastructure.
