Strengthening federal governance and pluralism in Ethiopia – program 2017 to 2023

FY 2017-18 · 2017-07-25

Summary
The Forum of Federations program aims to strengthen a more gender-responsive federal system in Ethiopia, enhancing democracy and governance, political stability, and dialogue between the state, regions, and citizens. The project seeks to improve government accountabilities by implementing a more formalized intergovernmental relation (IGR) system with clear roles and responsibilities, more equitable distribution of federal revenues, and increased government responsiveness to regional ethnic issues and citizens’ constitutional rights. Training on leadership, networking opportunities and the extent of the constitution aim to increase women’s influence in government decision-making and promote awareness of their rights and avenues of recourse. The implementing partner, the Forum of Federations, enhances sustainability by building partners’ local capacity to address current governance issues and facilitating local ownership, knowledge management, and information-sharing among the government and its citizenry. By increasing understanding of women’s and men’s rights in Ethiopia’s constitution and improving consultation between government and civil society, the project also improves the government’s accountability and transparency to its citizens.

Description (French)
Le programme du Forum des fédérations vise à renforcer le système fédéral éthiopien de manière à le rendre plus sensible aux questions de genre, à améliorer la démocratie et la gouvernance, la stabilité politique et le dialogue entre l'État, les régions et les citoyens. Ce projet vise à améliorer la responsabilité du gouvernement en mettant en œuvre un système de relations intergouvernementales (RIG) plus formel, avec des rôles et des responsabilités clairs, une répartition plus équitable des recettes fédérales et une plus grande réactivité du gouvernement face aux questions ethniques régionales et aux droits garantis par la Constitution aux citoyens. La formation sur le leadership, les possibilités de mise en réseau et la portée de la constitution visent à accroître l'influence des femmes dans la prise de décision gouvernementale et à promouvoir la prise de conscience de leurs droits et de leurs voies de recours. Le partenaire de mise en œuvre, le Forum des fédérations, renforce la durabilité en développant la capacité locale des partenaires à traiter les questions de gouvernance actuelles et en facilitant l'appropriation locale, la gestion des connaissances et le partage d'informations entre le gouvernement et ses citoyens. En améliorant la compréhension des droits des femmes et des hommes dans la Constitution éthiopienne et en améliorant la consultation entre le gouvernement et la société civile, ce projet améliore également la responsabilité et la transparence du gouvernement envers ses citoyens.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) enhanced gender-sensitive management of inter-governmental relations; (2) improved inter-governmental fiscal relations supporting environmentally sustainable and equitable development for women and men; and (3) increased understanding of the constitution by state actors and Ethiopian women and men regarding their rights and avenues of recourse.
