About Us

Project Background:

The Feteh (Justice) Activity in Ethiopia, implemented by Millennium DPI Partners (Millennium DPI) is a project funded by USAID/Ethiopia to provide flexible, rapid response technical assistance to the Attorney General’s Office (AGO), the Federal Supreme Court of Ethiopia (FSCE), appropriate committees in the House of People’s Representatives (HOPR), and/or other related rule of laws of actors in the process of legal and judicial reform. This includes making grants/sub-contracts to civil society organizations (CSOs) and the media to ensure public input to the proposed changes to Ethiopia’s legal and judicial framework.

Feteh’s primary objectives are to:

• Build the capacity of the AGO, its Advisory Council and legal drafting sub-committees, the FSCE, and other rule of law actors to adopt and implement legal and judicial reforms consistent with international human rights norms and the aspirations of the Ethiopian people.
• Support the ability of CSOs and the media to engage the AGO and the FSCE on legal and judicial reforms.
• Support the appropriate committees in the HOPR to ensure they gain sufficient capacity and know-how to approve the adoption of the legal reforms.
• Support the FSCE to improve Ethiopia’s court management system.
