A crisis of governance which has emerged as a result of the extreme centralization of power, weak institutions and failure to institutionalise the responsible use of power is a key challenge in the Horn of Africa region. This research project will investigate the promises and pitfalls of federalism and devolution in the respective countries with a view to proposing concrete policy alternatives. The project will examine the institutional design mechanisms that help address the crisis of governance in the region and ensure unity but at the same also provide political space for sub-state elements. It will analyse the impact of devolution and federalism in a context of weak institutions and proposes areas for reform that assist in strengthening institutions and facilitate the process of devolution and federalism. Addressing the crisis of governance through federalism, devolution and inclusive political institutions as well as ensuring the institutionalization of power through strengthening the rule of law has the potential to make the government more accountable and able to deliver critical services. Such systems ensure relative stability and peace and reduce the risks of state fragmentation. Key research questions target the countries in the Horn of Africa region (Ethiopia, South Africa, South Sudan, Somalia), and the research will draw relevant lessons from countries in Africa (such as South Africa) and Europe (UK). Key experts from partner institutions have been chosen for their key skills and research excellence in this area, as well as their ability to address the research themes and engage with key leaders, political actors, civil society groups, women, members of parliament and other sections of society in each country. During the course of the research and while conducting the primary data through focus groups, key stake holder consultations and roundtables, gender equality will be ensured by all researchers.During the process of research key experts will engage with major stake holders in each country in four high level round tables and dialogues with political party leaders, academics, youth, women and civil society to gather relevant data on the state of governance. Based on the research outputs and existing knowledge, three rounds of short trainings (105 trainees in total) will be provided to relevant stake holders (parliaments, leaders, political parties, civil society groups, youth, women) in each country to disseminate the findings and create impact on actors and institutions. Four Policy briefs from each research theme will be prepared to guide the direction of reform in the system of governance in each country. Dialogue among leaders, political parties and civil society groups in each country will be the means to get policy buy in. Key experts will be commissioned to deliver key notes and summary of the policy briefs during training and seminar events. The final outputs and policy briefs will be shared in a regional seminar and dialogue where major stake holders will attend and engage by way of dialogue in the outputs. Four journal articles will be published in reputable journals (Regional and Federal Studies, Journal of Gender Studies, African Affairs, International Journal of Constitutional Law). An edited book with all the contributions will be published towards the end of the project. Improved knowledge on inclusive governance system, built capacity of major stake holders and actors on inclusive governance modalities ensures peace, stability and enhances service delivery- a major problem in the Horn of AfricaAs part of building the capacity of the CoE and strengthening linkages with and cooperation between the CoE and partner institutions, professors from partner institutions will be hosted as visiting scholars to provide lectures and seminars in the CoE in Good Governance. There will be joint research including research exchanges, lectures and short term trainings.

由于权力的极端集中，机构薄弱和未能使负责使用权力的权力的极端集中造成的治理危机是非洲之角地区的关键挑战。该研究项目将调查各个国家的联邦制和权力下放的承诺和陷阱，以期提出具体的政策替代方案。该项目将研究有助于解决该地区治理危机并确保统一的机构设计机制，但也为子州元素提供了政治空间。它将在机构薄弱的情况下分析权力和联邦制的影响，并提出改革领域，以帮助加强机构并促进权力下放和联邦制的过程。通过联邦制，权力下放和包容性的政治机构解决治理危机，并通过加强法治确保权力的制度化有可能使政府更加负责并能够提供关键服务。这样的系统确保相对稳定与和平，并降低国家破碎的风险。主要的研究问题针对非洲角地区（埃塞俄比亚，南非，南苏丹，索马里）的国家，研究将吸引来自非洲国家（例如南非）和欧洲（英国）国家的相关课程。伙伴机构的关键专家因其在这一领域的关键技能和卓越的研究而被选中，以及他们解决研究主题并与关键领导人，政治行为者，民间社会团体，妇女，议会议员，议会议员以及每个国家的其他部门互动的能力。在研究过程中，在通过焦点小组，关键的利益持有人咨询和圆桌会议进行主要数据的过程中，所有研究人员都将确保性别平等。在研究主要专家的过程中，将与四个国家的主要股份持有人互动，并在四个高级圆桌会议上与政党领导者，学者，青年，青年，青年，青年，妇女和公民社会进行对话，以收集有关州的学者，妇女和公民社会的相关数据。根据研究成果和现有知识，将向每个国家（每个国家 /地区的议会，领导人，政党，民族社会团体，青年，青年，妇女）提供三轮短培训（总共105名学员），以传播发现结果并对参与者和机构产生影响。每个研究主题的四个政策简介将准备指导每个国家 /地区治理体系的改革方向。每个国家的领导人，政党和民间社会团体之间的对话将是获得政策的手段。将委托关键专家在培训和研讨会活动期间提供关键笔记和政策摘要。最终的产出和政策摘要将在区域研讨会和对话中共享，其中主要利益持有人将通过对话参加并参与输出。四篇期刊文章将发表在信誉良好的期刊上（区域和联邦研究，性别研究杂志，非洲事务，国际宪法杂志）。一本具有所有贡献的编辑书将在项目结束时出版。提高了有关包容性治理体系的知识，主要利益持有人的建立能力和有关包容性治理方式的建立能力确保和平，稳定和增强服务交付 - 非洲之角的一个主要问题是建立COE的能力，并加强与COE和COE机构之间的合作，并与合作伙伴机构之间的合作机构之间的良好竞选机构提供良好的Co and Coed Co and Co and Co and Co and co and co and co and Semecrains semerain and semerars semerars semars semars semars semars。将进行联合研究，包括研究交流，讲座和短期培训。
