Every official, every region — one record.
A bilingual, source-cited directory of Ethiopia's political leaders and public figures, cross-linked to the federal, regional, zonal and woreda geography they serve.
Government, public life, and the map beneath them
Government & Officials
Every elected and appointed office, from the Council of Ministers down to woreda administrators — current and former holders alike.
- Federal executive, parliament & judiciary
- Regional state councils & administrations
- Zonal and woreda offices
- Political parties & coalitions
Culture & Public Life
Notable Ethiopians shaping public life outside government — cited the same way, held to the same standard of sourcing.
- Arts, music & media
- Business & industry
- Religious leadership
- Sports, academia & civil society
Regions & Places
The administrative and physical geography every entry is anchored to — built to track boundaries as they actually change.
- Regional states & chartered cities
- Zones, woredas & kebeles
- Rivers, highlands & the Rift Valley
- Boundary & renaming history
Five levels, one continuous record
Most directories stop at the cabinet. This one keeps going — a mayor and a minister sit in the same schema.
Executive, Parliament & Judiciary
President, Prime Minister & Council of Ministers, House of Peoples' Representatives, House of Federation, federal courts.
Regional States & Chartered Cities
Regional presidents, state councils, and the Addis Ababa / Dire Dawa city administrations.
Zonal Administrations
The intermediate tier between a region and its districts — zonal administrators and councils.
Woreda & Sub-city Offices
District administrators and councils — where most residents' direct contact with government happens.
Kebele Leadership
The smallest administrative unit — added in later phases as coverage and verification capacity grow.
12 regional states, 2 chartered cities
Ethiopia's regional map has redrawn itself repeatedly in the last five years — each region here is a versioned record, not a fixed row.
Addis Ababa
Afar
Amhara
Benishangul-Gumuz
Central Ethiopia
Dire Dawa
Gambela
Harari
Oromia
Sidama
Somali
South Ethiopia
South West Ethiopia Peoples'
Tigray
Every entry, same skeleton
Why one schema, top to bottom
- Comparable at any level. A minister and a kebele chair share the same fields, so search and filters work identically across the whole hierarchy.
- Sources are a field, not a footnote. No claim about a living person ships without at least one citation attached to the record itself.
- Every position links to a place. Positions resolve to a region/zone/woreda node, which is how the geography and politician sections stay in sync.
- History is kept, not overwritten. Past office-holders and former boundaries stay queryable rather than being deleted on update.
Open to contribute, slow to publish
Public sources first
Baseline entries are seeded from government gazettes, official sites, and reference data — never invented to fill a gap.
Community edits, reviewed
Anyone can propose an edit; a named editor with a visible history has to approve it before it goes live, with a full diff trail.
A correction is one click away
Every page carries a visible "flag this" and "request correction" path — disputed claims are marked, not hidden, while under review.
