“…All interviewees were asked the same open-ended question to determine the practice and challenges of infrastructure equity with an emphasis on the principles as per the law of the land, the roles of key actors or policy-makers in practice, and the participation and approaches in the infrastructure decision-making process. They were also asked to explain possible factors that have both positive and negative impacts on the effects of infrastructure equity on the nationbuilding process (Kaso et al, 2018).

This paper analyzed the equitable allocation of infrastructure across regional states in Ethiopia. In general, in the past years, there has been a good start in the infrastructure sector in Ethiopia. However, the governance and equity system of infrastructure in Ethiopia is not flexible, not technology-oriented, not fair, and not easily solved. The results of in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) showed that there is a lack of institutional capacity, infrastructure governance, and equity, which has negatively impacted the state- and nation-building processes in Ethiopia. According to the interviewees, so long as the unmet demand for infrastructure exists, it remains a key restrain on doing business in most Ethiopian regional states. This is due to the lack of integrated frameworks, as there are coordination failures (lack of proper government intervention, including a lack of proper understanding and implementation of the constitution and the federal system). In Ethiopia, to reduce these bottlenecks arising from the lack of institutional capacity, infrastructure governance, and equity and their effects on nation-building, first of all, the government has to critically hear the people, deeply assess the problems, and come to the point and then discuss the problems and the way forward with the society at large.

“…Lack of effective check and balance among the three parts of the government organs is also the other challenge. As to Kemal et al (2018), in Ethiopia, executive branch of the federal government highly influenced all activities including policy formulation at all levels, and the legislative branch of the government, which is the highest law-making body has limited role. There is also unnecessary interference particularly in the mandates of the middle and low level of government structures from the federal government.…”

It is a systematic review of the significance of good governance and problems hampering its implementation in Ethiopia. The concept and issues of governance is linked to human history. Although the styles of governance differ, governance existed since the creation of human beings. In fact, it is obvious for the one group to rule and the others to be ruled. In order to convey this in a worthy manner and satisfy the needs of those to be served, the relation has to justify acceptable standard. In this regard, the government organizations and non-governmental organizations together with all the concerned bodies including the national and international development agencies are involved in the promotion of good governance. The concept of good governance has become more popular in Africa at the finale of the 1980s. Ethiopia had a long experience of governance that ranges from the traditional rule of monarchs to a democratic form of government. Revolution in good governance, by which citizens got the chance of enquiring about their rights, was endorsed by the consent of constitution 1995. Nevertheless, due to the past political influence and even various hitches in the structure of the new government and other reasons, several policies prepared and actions taken could not fully solve the good governance bugs of the country. In preparing this review article, qualitative research techniques were utilized in attempting to critically evaluate the concept of governance and good governance. The data has been collected from various secondary sources with the objective of examining the status of the country in implementing good governance and identifying the major problems facing it. Accordingly, the inhabiting problems specified are: Poverty and illiteracy, low participation of the community, corruption, past political attitudes, lack of adequate skilled and devoted manpower, effects of globalization, conflicts, wrong activists, lack of effective check and balance, interference and etc. Thus, added to the strong commitment of the current reformed government, all stakeholders should work strongly to alleviate the noted problems.
