Ministry of Planning and Development to Become Ministry of National Strategy

The House of People's Representatives of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia convened its first extraordinary session to discuss key structural legislation. The primary focus of the session was a draft proclamation designed to determine the nomenclature, organization, powers, and duties of federal executive bodies. As part of this legislative review, the Ministry of Planning and Development is slated to undergo a formal name and organizational change to become the Ministry of National Strategy. The deliberation forms part of the government's efforts to restructure federal executive institutions and refine their legal mandates. The session marks a significant legal step in defining the future powers and operational scope of federal ministries.
