Ethiopia's climate finance averaged USD 2.3 billion annually in 2022/23, significantly below the USD 10.6 billion annual requirement of its NDC 3.0. The country is heavily dependent on international public finance, which accounted for over 93% of flows, while private investment remains minimal at less than 5%. Adaptation finance dominates the landscape, reflecting high vulnerability in the agriculture and water sectors, whereas mitigation finance is concentrated in energy and remains insufficient. Despite institutional reforms and the launch of the Ethiopian Securities Exchange, macroeconomic constraints and limited project preparation capacity hinder the mobilization of domestic and private capital.
