Recognising that gaps in public institutions affect governance quality, Good Governance Africa–Horn of Africa organised a five-part public dialogue series on institutional development and good governance in Ethiopia. The series examined the state of public institutions with respect to governance and identified ways to improve governance in the country. Specifically, the series focused on critically examining public institutions’ development, functions, and dynamics, examining the challenges these institutions face in fulfilling their duties and identifying ways to strengthen them.
Each dialogue forum was supported by discussion papers prepared by experts from academia and civil society, providing perspectives for conversations among stakeholders from government, civil society, the private sector, and academia. What follows are the revised versions of these papers, prepared for this edited volume.
