SUBJECT: ETHIOPIA:  BI-WEEKLY REPORT JULY 17 2006 
 
 
1. The following reports compiled over the last two weeks 
illustrate the variety of economic, political and social 
developments occurring in Ethiopia. 
 
World Bank Writes off Ethiopia's 3.61bn Debt 
-------------------------------------------- 
 
2. The International Development Association (IDA) has 
granted Ethiopia USD 3.61bn in debt relief of Ethiopia's 
debt under the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI). 
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz said the debt relief, 
effective July 1, would help the poor who need and deserve 
better education, health services, greater access to pure 
water, and greater opportunities to escape poverty. 
According to the World Bank Ethiopia's economic performance 
over the past three years had been strong and broad based. 
Ishac Diwan, the Bank's country director for Ethiopia and 
Sudan, said the main challenges for the Ethiopian economy in 
the coming years is to continue to grow while governance 
improves. 
 
USAID celebrated 10 years of success of its BESO Project 
--------------------------------------------- ----------- 
 
3.  USAID celebrated 10 years of its Basic Education Project 
(BESO).  The event included displays of education and 
training materials produced through the past 10 years, a 
video of the project's history, and panel discussions. 
Attendees at the celebration included education 
practitioners from all levels - from the kebele to the 
Minister.  Many excellent suggestions for future of the 
project resulted from the deliberations, and the USAID team 
will factor them into future planning and implementation. 
The anniversary was opened with remarks from Ambassador 
Huddleston and Minister of Education Dr. Sintayehu 
Woldemichael. 
 
Parliament recesses; No Inquiry Commission Report 
--------------------------------------------- ---- 
 
4.  The House of Peoples' Representatives (HPR) went into 
recess on July 7 until October 9, 2006 without hearing the 
scheduled Inquiry Commission's report.  The Inquiry 
Commission was established by the HPR to investigate the 
violence that occurred in some parts of the country 
following the May 2005 elections.  The Commission had 
obtained a time extension from the HPR but once again failed 
to report its findings on schedule.  The Commission was 
supposed to present its report to the House on July 7, 2006, 
the final day before the house went into recess for the next 
three months.  No explanation was given as to why the 
commission was unable to present its findings to the House 
as scheduled.  Leaders of the parliamentary opposition 
expressed their concern in private regarding the issue. 
 
House Passes Budget Bill, Extends Electoral Board Tenure 
--------------------------------------------- ----------- 
5.  The House of Peoples' Representatives (HPR) on July 4 
passed a bill providing for a 35.551 bn Birr budget for the 
2006/07 fiscal year ($1 = 8.7 Birr).  The House also 
endorsed a resolution providing for the extension of the 
tenure of the National Electoral Board until October 2006. 
Of the total approved budget, 16.067 bn Birr goes for the 
capital budget and 9.987 bn for budgetary subsidies to 
regional states and 9.497 bn for recurrent budget.  The 
extension of the Board's tenure was necessitated to conclude 
the inter-party consultations during the parliamentary 
recess and subsequently appoint new board members when the 
House reopens after the recess. 
 
Political Harmony Essential to Reduce Poverty 
--------------------------------------------- 
 
7. World Bank President, Paul Wolfowitz stressed the 
importance of political harmony in order to reduce poverty 
in Ethiopia.  Mr. Wolfowitz said resumption of aid to 
Ethiopia had to be followed by government action to provide 
political stability.  Last year the World Bank cut its 
direct budget support to Ethiopia after violence following 
disputed elections left at least 80 dead.  Following talks 
with Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and opposition politicians, 
Mr. Wolfowitz told reporters that "As a development bank, we 
are more concerned with development and poverty reduction 
but we do not ignore political harmony." "The World Bank 
requires the right atmosphere to work with, such as 
transparency, independent justice and political harmony in 
the country." 
 
8. World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz said the bank will 
further strengthen its financial assistance to the ongoing 
 
ADDIS ABAB 00002002  002 OF 002 
 
 
poverty reduction and development efforts in Ethiopia.  The 
Ethiopian government and the World Bank have maintained a 
long-standing economic cooperation over the years.  During 
talks with Prime Minister Meles and other cabinet members on 
July 13, Wolfowitz said the World Bank will continue 
supporting Ethiopia in its efforts to advance its economy. 
Prime Minister Meles briefed Mr. Wolfowitz about the 
development policies pursued in Ethiopia and the multi- 
faceted activities being carried out in the country to 
accelerate economic development.  Wolfowitz's first-ever 
visit to Ethiopia has enabled him to closely observe the 
strenuous battle against poverty in this country.  During 
his visit to the Parliament, Wolfowitz said creating 
peaceful political situation in Ethiopia would be exemplary 
to other African countries besides contributing toward 
ensuring sustainable economic development in the country. 
Sharing of ideas between members of the ruling party and 
that of the oppositions in the parliament through mutual 
respect and friendship could be exemplary to other African 
countries. 
 
Former US President visits Ethiopia to launch project 
--------------------------------------------- -------- 
9. Former US President Bill Clinton arrived in Addis Ababa 
on July 15 to pay a working visit of the various projects 
supported by the Clinton Foundation, focusing on rural 
development, HIV/AIDS and hospital management.  He met with 
Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and other government officials. 
Former President Bill Clinton visited ALERT Hospital in 
Addis Ababa to break ground for Ethiopia's family-focused 
pediatric AIDS treatment program.  He also met with a cross 
section of the society at the Africa Union Hall. 
 
10. Former US president Bill Clinton launched a program to 
help children suffering from AIDS in Ethiopia, where close 
to 3 million people are estimated to be infected with the 
deadly virus.  Under the program, the Clinton Foundation 
will fund 250,000 dollars and provide 23 medical experts 
from Yale University to work in 13 hospitals across the 
country for one year.  The Clinton Foundation will provide 
the clinic with necessary equipment and medical supplies in 
addition to train health officials and boost hospital 
management systems.  Former President Clinton laid the 
foundation stone for a clinic for orphans on July 16. 
Nearly a million Ethiopian children have been orphaned by 
the disease and about 5,000 new infections are recorded 
weekly.
