The 6th House of Peoples’ Representatives convened its 1st special session for the 4th year of its operational term. The session focuses on critical legislative matters, including reviewing reports, approving draft proclamations, and endorsing loan agreements.

One of the key agenda items is the Ministry of Agriculture’s six-month implementation report for the 2025 fiscal year. The report is expected to outline progress, challenges, and future plans in achieving the ministry’s objectives.

The session will also consider the approval of two significant loan agreements aimed at supporting the country’s development priorities. The details of these agreements and their intended impacts will be deliberated during the session.

Furthermore, the House will deliberate on the draft proclamation concerning urban land tenure, land-related property registration, and urban land leasing, based on the recommendations of the Standing Committee on Urban Infrastructure and Transport Affairs. If approved, the proclamation is expected to modernize land administration systems, improve urban development, and enhance transparency in land leasing processes.

Another major focus will be the review of the draft proclamation on general education. The Standing Committee on Human Resources Development, Employment, and Technology Affairs is set to present its report and recommendations, with the House expected to approve the proclamation. This legislative move aims to reform and strengthen the general education system to address existing gaps and ensure equitable access.

The outcomes of this special session are anticipated to have a significant impact on Ethiopia’s legislative and development framework, particularly in the areas of urban land lease management, education reform, and agricultural progress.
