Article review on Policy Actors and Institutions in the Policy Process at Sub-National Level in Ethiopia. The case of Oromia Regional State

Abstract from the year 2023 in the subject Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 3.73, , course: Development Policy Making Process and Implementation Strategies, language: English, abstract: The article 'Policy Actors and Implementation Challenges in Oromia, Ethiopia' published in the Journal of Sustainable Development Africa 2020, focuses on the study of policy actors involved in the implementation of the Ethiopian government's policies in the Oromia region. The study shows non-state policy actors do not actively participate in the policy making process in the regional state as the political space is limited while the participation of the ruling party, the executive and the federal government is high and influence the process of policy making in the state. The ruling party had monopoly on policy agenda setting in the regional state. The top level of government is controlled by a group of elites from the same party, which also restricts the participation of other actors.
