Ethiopia Legal and Political Future Trends<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ethiopia has a legacy of history, culture and dictatorships. However, the new government under the 42-year-old prime minister Ayib Ahmed has chosen a significant path towards rule of law, democracy and inclusiveness.\u00a0Within that framework, the Ethiopian Attorney General Berhanu Tsegaye signed an MoU with HiiL, during the 9th Innovating Justice Forum<\/a> in The Hague. Around the time Ethiopia became a signatory of the Hague Declaration.<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MoU was a great step forward, as CEO of HiiL, Sam Muller said at the time: \u00ab\u00a0This means we can start with our Justice Needs and Satisfaction Survey to improve access to justice in Ethiopia.\u00a0\u00bb.

HiiL\u2019s Head of Measuring Justice, Dr. Martin Gramatikov<\/a>, and Justice Sector Advisor, Dr. Rodrigo Nunez<\/a>, visited Addis Ababa to prepare the ground for the upcoming Justice Needs and Satisfaction Survey (JNS) in Ethiopia. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being part of the first attempt to map out justice needs and journey\u2019s in Ethiopia is very exciting. To get things officially started, HiiL and the JLRTI conducted a \u201cKick-start\u201d workshop on Measuring Justice in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. In many contexts, collecting people’s justice needs and satisfaction is a radical departure for how things have been done for many<\/em> years. To embrace a people-centered justice innovation agenda is bold. Brilliant. Brave, even: The results show things as they truly are. HE Ambassador Degife Bulla gave a gracious opening speech, and the master of ceremony was HE Mr. Mitiku Mada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
