UNIVERSAL RURAL ROAD ACCESS PROGRAM
The constitution of Ethiopia assigns extensive power to its eleven regional states (Addis Ababa, Afar, Amhara, Benishangul-Gumuz, Dire Dawa, Gambela, Harari, Oromiya, Somali, Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region and Tigray). Each region has an elected regional council with legislative and executive power to direct the internal affairs of the region. The structure of regional government and its sectoral public institutions is replicated to the district (Wereda) level and sub-district (Kebele) levels.
