Opportunity Information: Apply for ECON ADDISABABA FY19 001
Supporting Fiscal Transparency in Ethiopia is a U.S. government-funded grant opportunity designed to strengthen Ethiopia's public financial accountability at a time when the country is pursuing major economic and political reforms led by the Prime Minister. The overall intent is to improve how public funds are planned, reported, reviewed, and audited so that government budgeting becomes more transparent and public institutions are better able to hold the executive accountable. The project was designed in consultation with key Government of Ethiopia bodies, especially the Ministry of Finance, the House of Peoples' Representatives, and the Office of the Auditor General, and it also aligns with and coordinates efforts alongside other major development partners such as the European Union, the IMF, and DFID.
The project is built around a straightforward development hypothesis: if Ethiopia's public accountability institutions and government reporting systems are strengthened, then budget transparency and public accountability will improve. In practical terms, that means focusing less on one-off publications or short-term fixes and more on improving the institutional capacity, rules, systems, and procedures that determine whether reliable financial information is produced, whether legislators can understand and interrogate that information, and whether independent auditors can assess government spending against standards and laws.
Capacity building is centered on three core institutions that play complementary roles across the public finance cycle. The Ministry of Finance is the hub for accounting, financial management, and government reporting, and improvements there are meant to make budget and financial information more accurate, consistent, timely, and usable. The House of Peoples' Representatives is the key oversight body that debates budgets, scrutinizes fiscal performance, and represents public interests in the budget process, so strengthening legislative capacity is meant to deepen meaningful review rather than treating budget approval as a formality. The Office of the Auditor General serves as the independent audit function, and enhancing its audit policies and procedures is intended to improve the quality, credibility, and follow-through of audits that can deter misuse of funds and push reforms in financial controls.
To deliver these aims, the opportunity is organized around three objectives. Objective 1 focuses on strengthening the accounting and reporting capabilities of the Ministry of Finance, which typically includes improving the systems and practices that generate fiscal reports and ensuring those reports meet standards and support decision-making. Objective 2 targets the legislature's ability to oversee the budget, which commonly involves technical training, analytical tools, and support mechanisms that help committees and staff evaluate budget proposals, track execution, and ask informed questions based on evidence. Objective 3 focuses on improving audit policies and procedures within the Office of the Auditor General, which generally means bolstering audit methodologies, quality assurance, compliance with accepted audit standards, and the processes that help translate audit findings into corrective action.
