Description:
This initiative aims to support a strengthened and more gender-responsive federal system in Ethiopia, contributing to enhanced democracy and governance, political stability, and dialogue between the state, regions and citizens. The project is designed to improve government accountabilities by putting in place a more formalized inter-governmental relations system with clear roles and responsibilities; a more equitable distribution of federal revenues; and increased government responsiveness to regional ethnic issues and citizens’ constitutional rights. Training on leadership, networking opportunities and on the extent of the constitution will contribute in increasing 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 by facilitating local ownership, knowledge management, and information-sharing among government and its citizenry. By increasing understanding of women and men’s rights in Ethiopia’s constitution, and improving consultation among government and civil society, the project also improves the government’s accountability and transparency to its citizens.
