Millennium Fellowship Project: Enhancing Governance And Anti-Corruption Frameworks In Ethiopia

My project focuses on addressing Ethiopia's governance and corruption challenges by designing innovative frameworks to foster transparency, accountability, and peace. Rooted in interdisciplinary research, it proposes strategies to strengthen institutions, promote civic engagement, and empower marginalized communities through education, economic initiatives, and resource management.
By leveraging lessons from global anti-corruption efforts and tailoring them to Ethiopia's unique socio-political landscape, the project envisions a more equitable and sustainable future. It also integrates anonymous reporting mechanisms to encourage citizen participation and drive systemic change without fear of retribution.
Ultimately, the project seeks to provide actionable recommendations that policymakers, civil society organizations, and citizens can use to build a governance structure resilient to corruption and conducive to long-term peace.
