About Forum of Federations, Ethiopia Country Office

The Forum of Federations is an international governance organization founded by Canada and funded by nine other partner governments – Australia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Germany, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan and Switzerland.

The Forum of Federations is a learning network concerned with promoting intergovernmental learning on governance challenges in multi-level democracies. The Forum is not an advocacy organization and doesn’t advocate for any particular structure of government.

We provide innovative solutions to challenges posed by multi-level governance in a range of devolved, decentralized or federal countries. We bring a tested, comparative approach, a global network of experts and excellent access to key government officials around the world. We have worked in Germany on improving public service delivery, in Brazil on implementing a value added tax, in India on fiscal equalization, in Australia on metropolitan governance, in Switzerland on designing an immigration and integration policy.
We focus on the key issues of local empowerment. If you want to promote democracy in a way that gets real, on-the-ground results, our focus on the key issues of local empowerment– too often ignored – can add an essential dimension to your efforts.
We assist in democracy building in fragile states or regions in post-conflict situation. Democratic evolution does not happen overnight; our extensive experience in countries such as Ethiopia, Iraq, Nepal, Pakistan, Sudan and Sri Lanka can be put to use quickly and effectively.
We provide expertise that bridges the worlds of academic research and real-world practice.
