Before 1996, Ethiopia was divided into thirteen provinces of which many drifted from<br />
historical regi<strong>on</strong>s. Ethiopia now has a federal government overseeing ethnically-based<br />
regi<strong>on</strong>al states, z<strong>on</strong>es, districts (woredas), and neighbourhoods (kebeles). Ethiopia is divided<br />
into nine ethnically-based administrative states (kililoch, sing. kilil) and subdivided into sixty-<br />
eight z<strong>on</strong>es and two chartered cities: Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa. It is further subdivided<br />
into 550 woredas and several special woredas. The c<strong>on</strong>stituti<strong>on</strong> assigns extensive power to<br />
regi<strong>on</strong>al states that can establish their own government through an executive committee and<br />
regi<strong>on</strong>al sectoral bureaus. Such structure of council, executive and sectoral public instituti<strong>on</strong>s<br />
is replicated to the next level (woreda).<br />
