I was in my father’s birthplace (‘#Al_Ansha Meda’, between ‘#Boru_Meda’ & ‘#Kuta_Ber’, some 20 minutes drive from #Dessie) with my Dad two months ago. There are more than 1,400+ households in the area who have been deprived of electricity. #Wollo #GERD #AccesstoElectricity

I am not sure they will get electricity when #GERD starts. The residents bitterly complain that the current and previous administration deliberately ignored their plea to access road and electricity despite thier interest to co-finance it. #GoodGovernance #InclusiveGrowth

The paradox is that there is electricity across their village near the main road. Besides, there is also a construction (residential houses )near their village & they are frustrated why they were left behind. #GoodGovernance #InclusiveGrowth #Wollo #KutaBer #AlAnshaMeda #BoruMeda

#Muslims r one of the most financially excluded citizens in #Ethiopia & their primarily reason is #Riba. But I wonder how & where the data for such reports are collected? "Financial inclusion in Ethiopia: 10 takeaways from the latest Findex" tinyurl.com/ydhmd738 via @WorldBank

@WorldBank

Citizens who identify themselves as #Muslims account for 34% of the #Ethiopia'n population (CSA, 2007). This large segment of the society was demanding Shari'ah Compliant #finance for long time. Banks first responded by introducing 0% interest A/C #financialinclusion @WorldBank

@WorldBank

Banks attracted millions of customers and mobilized billions of Birr in deposits. Sadly, customers were unaware that these deposits are not #ShariahCompliant and they were subjected to successive devaluations which has impacted them a lot. #financialinclusion #Ethiopia @WorldBank
