Institutions Accountable to Prime Minister Abiy Undergo Rigorous Mid-Year Performance

Addis Ababa, February 2, 2026 (ENA)—Institutions accountable to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed have undergone a rigorous mid-year performance review, Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh confirmed.

In a statement shared on his official X page, Temesgen underscored the government’s firm focus on accountability, measurable delivery, and visible impact for citizens.

The Deputy Prime Minister said the review examined the mid-year performance of the 2018 Ethiopian fiscal year and forms a central pillar of the Prosperity Party’s governance approach.

“Today’s session focused on the mid-year performance of the 2018 Ethiopian fiscal year,” Temesgen stated, noting that supervised institutions presented their achievements for evaluation and received strategic direction aimed at “strengthening effectiveness, coordination, and impact.”

He underscored that the review process is designed not only to assess results but also to promote institutional learning.

“This review process is a core element of the Prosperity Party’s governance approach, one that emphasizes accountability, learning, and results,” he said.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the Prosperity Party’s vision has moved beyond rhetoric and is now yielding concrete outcomes.

“The vision is no longer aspirational rhetoric,” he said, adding that “through sustained reform efforts, it is taking root and producing tangible outcomes across the country.”

He credited institutions and their leadership for translating this vision into action, stressing that “national transformation is driven by disciplined institutions and responsible leadership.”

Reiterating the government’s uncompromising stance on delivery, Temesgen said, “the Prosperity vision does not accommodate delay or ambiguity.”

He added, “what is promised must be implemented, and what is implemented must be visible, measurable, and beneficial to citizens.”

Reflecting on recent national achievements, he noted that at the start of the 2018 Ethiopian New Year the country reached historic milestones.

“The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam was completed, and major national projects were launched,” he said, citing the Bishoftu International Airport as well as fuel and fertilizer production facilities among projects strengthening economic sovereignty and national resilience.

“The hallmark of this government, guided by the Prosperity Party’s vision, is the ability to begin and complete projects with speed and purpose,” Temesgen stated.

He pointed to the inauguration of the Shebele Resort and the Aysha 2 Wind Power Plant, while noting that additional projects are nearing completion.

According to him, ongoing construction of roads, bridges, dams, and housing developments across the country demonstrates that long standing commitments are steadily being fulfilled.

On the conduct of the evaluation, the Deputy Premier said performance was assessed “objectively and without compromise.”

He explained that achievements were acknowledged, shortcomings were addressed candidly, and institutions were challenged to correct weaknesses through open discussions and practical solutions.

Encouraged by the progress recorded so far, DPM Temesgen said, “we proceed with confidence and resolve,” while stressing that in the remaining six months institutions are expected to deliver stronger outcomes, deepen reform impacts, and advance the Prosperity Party’s vision of a united, prosperous, and resilient Ethiopia.
