EPRDF assesses two-year performance of political, organizational works

A/A, September 15, 2008, Awassa (ENA) - The 7th Organizational Congress of the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) during its first-day session Monday appraised political and organizational performances implemented during the past two years, said the front’s secretariat office.

Office head Bereket Semeon told journalists that achievements were significant in the works carried out to make rural populations beneficiaries.

He said able leadership was provided towards success of multi-sectored efforts on the path of revolutionary democracy.

In cities and urban centers, Bereket said, encouraging activities were carried out particularly in the micro- and small-scale business development sector, though implementation of activities related to helping mitigate the problems faced by low-income citizens were yet to bring about desired results.

He said the report presented to the assembly by EPRDF chairman showed satisfactory results in the implementation of political and organizational tasks.

He said the messages of partner organizations read out to participants during the opening showed that the support provided by EPRDF helped regional states achieve considerable changes in development, good governance and democratization.

Political parties of a number of countries also communicated through their delegates to the conference messages of felicitation and support, Bereket said. (END)
