\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Ethiopia faces a major public health problem in terms of chronic food insecurity and malnutrition, a situation which is being aggravated by periodic occurrence of climate change related emergencies resulting in widespread hunger. Orange"=fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP), which is rich in pro"=vitamin A and very efficient in water use, and potato (P), which produces high amounts of food calories per unit area and offers important micro"=nutrients, have high potential to address the current malnutrition situation. But average yields of both crops are low in Ethiopia and market chains are underdeveloped. The major bottlenecks in increasing productivity for both crops are the low quality of planting material and the weak linkages along the value chain providing producers with the necessary inputs, which is -among other- disease free pre"=basic/ basic seed for seed producers and trustworthy quality planting material for ware producers.  CIP is implementing the `Better Potato for a Better Life' (BPBL) project in four large regions of Ethiopia, addressing those problems and seeking development outcomes along the Agriculture Nutrition Pathway. A large number of partners, from the GO and NGO as well as private sector are engaged in project implementation -being strengthened in their capacities and knowhow- according to their core competencies: federal and regional agricultural research centres work in tissue"=culture-based disease free pre"=basic seed (foundation material); Bureaus of Agriculture and international NGOs with strong community linkages provide extension service and organisational development to farmers (cooperatives) and communities (Village Economic and Social Associations); grass"=root organisations provide gender integrative nutrition education and behavioural change communication. Legitimacy and sustainability are pursued through this partner"=oriented approach. After six years of project intervention over 500,000 farmers got access to improved varieties and quality seed which allows yield increases of more then \mbox{25\,\%}. Over 130 seed potato farmer groups and cooperatives with 6,000 members, and sweetpotato vine multipliers engaged in seed businesses. A low cost Quality Declared Seed (QDS) system for P\&SP, adapted to the country conditions, was tested and has now become part of public policy. }
