Realizing the great potentialities of co-operative community action in national progress and development, We established the Ministry of National Community Development as early as 1957. Our chief concern has been to improve life and living conditions of Our people, especially the weaker section of Our society like nomads, who live in under-developed regions of Our Empire.
In the world of today, community development is universally recognized as “A process designed to create conditions of economic and social progress for the whole community with active participation and largely dependent upon the initiative of the community.”
Accordingly when people have the ability and means, their partnership with the Government in development plans strengthens both the people and the Government. It is therefore with this belief that We have undertaken extensive educational plans throughout the nation.
“Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God.”
— Psalm 68:31
Ratified upon incorporation in August 1937 by Dr. Malaku E. Bayen, the E.W.F. Constitution and By-Laws remain the guiding document of our organization — a living charter that governs the conduct, authority, and purpose of every Local Unit worldwide.
