Monday, 17 May 2010 10:08

The project will provide support to strengthen the capacity of the House of the Federation (HoF) to perform the functions entrusted to it, by the Ethiopian Constitution and thereby contribute to good governance; namely, supremacy of the law and the Constitution, rule of law as well as stability of the federal system and its institutions. The total estimated project cost is US$ 3,938,400 out of which the Ethiopian Government will provide US$ 200,000.

The Ethiopian Constitution has empowered the HoF, among other duties, with the power to interpret the constitution and to decide on issues relating to the rights of Nations, Nationalities and Peoples to self-determination (including the right to secession). The HOF is also responsible to promote the equality of the people in Ethiopia and consolidate their unity based on their mutual consent; to find solutions to disputes or misunderstandings that may arise between States. In addition, it determines the division of revenues derived from joint Federal and State tax sources and the subsidies that the federal Government may provide to the States.
