November 2012 Summary of recommendations First: Recommendations related to the Commission: 1. With all respect to the restructuring process undergoing at the Regional office, and due to the nature of the Commission activities and services provided to 16 member countries in addition to north Somalia in Desert Locust management, the Admin Assistant will not be in a position to handle any additional tasks relating to the regional office. Therefore, member countries oppose the decision of the Regional Office to include the Admin Assistant in the restructuring process and hence recommended the chairman of the commission to address this issue to the Regional Representative at RNE prior to any further necessary action. 2.

  • Corruption in the Post-1991 Urban Land Governance of Ethiopia Tracing Major Drivers in the Law

The dramatic shifts in urban land tenure from Feudal System (pre-1974) to Socialist Land Bahir Dar University, Institute Policy (1974- 1991) and to the current system (post-1991) have left the urban of Land Administration populations uncertain about their property rights. The historical context coupled with (PhD Candidate) the complex legal and institutional structure and the absence of proper records of rights and restrictions have invigorated corruption in the land sector. Despite of the anti-corruption aspirations of post-1991 laws, corruption and rent-seeking have become pervasive in the urban land governance. This paper intends to analyses five common urban governance sectors: the political economy of urban land governance, lease based land acquisition and lease contract administration, urban planning and development, land registration and regularization, and urban land dispute settlement. It then argues that the law itself opens a loophole for corruption through ambiguous stipulations, non-transparent implementations and the new metaphor ie ‘appropriate body' common in all the five dimensions.

  • Western and Opposition Caricature of the Developmental State
    Ethiopia: Western, Foreign and Domestic Neo-Liberals’ Caricature of the Developmental State, the fight and the Evolving Balance-sheet Habtamu Alebachew & Yemane Zeray (Lecturers) 1. The Notion and the Confusion We, as students of social sciences, have paid objective attentions about the unique essentials and substances constituting the very ingredients of the ‘Developmental State. However, this brand of the state with its abstract policy of ‘developmentalism’ largely remains to be the key ‘blinds-spot’ of its critics. The developmental state appears to be a messy puzzle specifically among most western policy makers, the global media, so named ‘watch-dog institutions’ of global values, domestic and refugee opposition groups as well as the private press. We see every day most common misinterpretations of the nature of the developmental state among these critics in light of the existing Ethiopia’s state and its friends in one or another brand of the developmentlist agenda. These hostile and rejectionist caricatures probably arise from the confusion with the extremely subtle, abstract and meticulously outlined nature of the developmental state encompassing a broad range of state types and forms. The most common grey-areas of the developmental state lending conceptual confusions among their outspoken critics lay at the self-depiction of this state in the current world of neo-liberalized international relations. The images of most leaders of the developmental state have loomed far larger in the mind-plates of the West and domestic ‘modernist neo—liberals’ as elusive, fluid swinging left and right, unfathomable and nebulous. These elites view the unique achievements of most developmental states in a different and confused ways that could be divided into three categories: A.

  • Ethiopia: Lessons from an Experiment
    HDI 2017 l VOLUME 1 l ISSUE 2 Ethiopia: Lessons from an experiment Arkebe Oqubay HDI 2017 l VOLUME 1 l ISSUE 2 Ethiopia: Lessons from an experiment Arkebe Oqubay1 Abstract The recent “African Rising” narrative is detached from reality and lacks the perspective that growth should be underpinned by structural transformation. Ethiopia has sustained rapid economic growth since 2003, and has practiced industrial policies to achieve structural transformation. Embedded in structural transformation perspectives and based on a comparative review of three export-oriented and import-substitution industries, this brief discusses Ethiopia’s experiment with structural transformation and industrial policies. The Ethiopian experiment shows that structural transformation and industrial policies can work and thrive in low-income African countries such as Ethiopia. However, it also shows that structural transformation and catch-up are colossal challenges. The Ethiopian experiment reveals that industrial policies matter, and the state can and should play an activist developmental role to foster catch-up and structural transformation. Furthermore, performance and policy outcomes have been uneven, highlighting the importance for policymakers to have a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and interaction among industrial structure, maximization of linkage effects, and politics/political economy. The experiment emphasizes policy learning, the vital role of learning-by-doing as the prime means of mastering policymaking, and policy independence as a key ingredient. The Ethiopian experiment suggests that structural transformation and industrial policy perspectives are principal points of departure for catch-up by African countries. Keywords: Ethiopia, Africa, structural transformation, industrial policy, industrialization, policy learning, linkages, political economy. This paper is a contribution to the How They Did It (HDI) series, a new line of publications from the Vice-Presidency for Economic Governance and Knowledge Management.

It is the second most populous country in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is rated the poorest and most heavily indebted countries of the world, ranked last out of 208 countries. About 26% of the populations of the country, mostly women and rural residents, are living with their income less than one dollar a day. In terms of health and welfare, it ranks among Africa’s and the world’s poorest nations and the infant mortality rate is among the highest in the world. Political instability is another major problem of Ethiopia for the socio-economic development. In this paper, an attempt has been taken to discuss socio-economic circumstances of Ethiopia.

  • 1 IGAD Case Study Michael Brüntrup Key Messages • East Africa Is One
    IGAD Case Study Michael Brüntrup Key Messages • East Africa is one of the regions in the world most affected by droughts. Recent trends seem to show an increase in risk, while longer term projections do not provide clear trends for the whole region and for individual countries. • Most countries are low income, with some lower middle income countries. Some have diverse agro-ecological conditions, but most of the area in the region as a whole and in all individual countries being assessed is arid or semi- arid lands (ASALs), which has repercussions for national drought vulnerability • Food security (reduction in food quantity and quality, and even famine) is the biggest threat presented by droughts in East Africa, provoked by losses in agricultural and livestock production and in income, and compounded by already low income and lack of income diversification, problems surrounding water quantity and quality, and weak local and national food markets. Drought events combined with low local coping capacities and state failure, civil war and political interference have provoked some of the worst nature-based humanitarian disasters of the 21st century. • These factors also affect the medium and long term impacts, such as loss of assets, human (child) development, conflict, migration, self-help will and thus recovery and development. Other important impacts are more localised: hydro- electric generation, and impacts on sensitive aquatic and terrestrial eco- systems (sometimes with repercussions on tourism or development e.g. eco- system services like water retention and biodiversity) • Early warning systems have been adopted in the whole region, but require more bottom-up linkages with local communities, and need to be connected with constant monitoring of ever-changing vulnerabilities (i.e.
