Abstract

We analyze capacity of the Government of Ethiopia to implement the formal social protection system in Ethiopia. We draw on data from federal, regional and community levels, the latter two drawing upon a case study from the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Regional State. The findings suggest that the formal social protection system in Ethiopia faces several challenges, which range from ideological barriers to limitations in capacity of financing as well as incoherence and a lack of coordination. Overcoming these challenges requires a concerted effort that extends beyond technical interventions.
