    Implementation of Good Governance Principles in Local Administration in Post-War Tigray, Ethiopia
    (Mekelle University, 2025-07-28) TIGSTI HAILEMARIAM ABRAHA
    This study examined the implementation of good governance principles in the local administration of Slewa Woreda, Tigray, within the post-war context. Specifically, it assessed the extent of governance principles implementation, evaluated the effectiveness of existing governance policies and strategies, identified challenges hindering their realization, and explored opportunities for enhancing governance effectiveness. The study used a mixed-methods approach, and data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions with local stakeholders. Findings indicate that the overall practice of good governance remains weak and fragmented. Core principles such as transparency, accountability, participation, responsiveness, rule of law, and sound financial management are largely perceived at low levels. This has contributed to persistent governance deficits, weakened service delivery, declining institutional trust, and limited local development. The study further reveals that existing governance policies and strategies—particularly those related to decentralization, institutional strengthening, anti-corruption, and participatory governance—remain inconsistently implemented and under-resourced or remains paper value. Key challenges include political instability, corruption, lack of transparency, weak enforcement of legal frameworks, inadequate institutional capacity, and bureaucratic inefficiencies. Despite these constraints, institutional capacity-building efforts, community participation, local resource mobilization, and partnerships with NGOs, civil society, and traditional institutions hold untapped potential. By embedding transparency, accountability, and inclusivity into governance structures, Slewa Woreda can rebuild institutional resilience and lay the foundation for sustainable post-war recovery.
