This March/April edition of the Enderasie Monthly Digest covers four important issues that represent the core missions of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) House of Peoples’ Representatives (HoPR). These include lawmaking, constituent representation, oversight of executive bodies, and parliamentary diplomacy. Among the oversight activities of executive bodies, a notable event for March/April was the response and explanation provided by H.E. Dr. Abiy Ahmed, Prime Minister of the FDRE, to questions raised by members of the HoPR, based on the federal government’s half-year performance of the 2017 Ethiopian Budget Year (2024/2025). Additionally, this edition compiles and presents the laws ratified by the House, activities related to representative mandates, institutional reports they hear, field visits, parliamentary diplomacy efforts they carried out, and finally, Bridge Research and Innovation’s insights on selected key issues.
