Rahwa Gebremedhin Abrha
Ethiopia
2023
Rahwa Abrha is an agricultural researcher and academic who, for almost eight years, has helped develop the agriculture curriculum at Adigrat University in Ethiopia. In addition, she has published a host of research papers in international academic journals. Still, she is keen to gain more knowledge that will inform policy and contribute to the development of Ethiopia’s agricultural sector. For Rahwa, the GRASP Fellowship is an exciting opportunity to do just that.
From the first time I stepped out of university and met a group of farmers, I knew I was ready to change their lives the way I had always wanted to.
Area of Focus
Improvement of the Land Tenure Policy to encourage agribusiness and reduce unemployment among women in rural areas.
