provide the overall macro-economic policy and planning frameworks for stimulating growth and eradicating poverty. A popular version of PASDEP was prepared in the different languages of the regional states and widely disseminated by the Poverty Action Network (PANE). The SDPRP and PASDEP Annual Progress Reports (APR) are prepared and disseminated at multi-stakeholder fora. 345 In addition, government has continued more aggressively with its fiscal decentralisation and other related Public Sector Reform programmes to improve public service efficiency and effectiveness at the Federal, regional, woreda and kebele levels. The second phase of decentralisation at woreda levels is in implementation since 2002. Regional constitutions were also revised to facilitate the decentralisation process; these provide powers and responsibilities to woreda administrations to exercise self-administration, facilitate local development, levy duties and taxes, prepare and administer their own budgets.
