The existence of Awi people as one ethnic group with its own culture and language has made itrnnecessary for the existence of Awi- Nationality Administrative Zone as self- governing entityrnwith three organs of government- elected council, administrative council (executive) and itsrnjudiciaries at zonal level. Theoretically Awi Nationality Administrative Zone is expected tornplay unique status due to its existence as the 3 rd separate tire of government from the federalrnfive levels structure and 2nd tire of government from the regional government structure. Therneffort made by this study with the objective to assess the implementations of this unique statusrnof Awi nationality administrative zone with respect to devolution of political andrnadministrative power/authority, its fiscal autonomy as separate tire of government and its goodrngovernance practice through the use of descriptive research is noteworthy. The existence ofrnAwi- Nationality Administrative Zone has its inception from article 39 of federal constitutionrnand article 73 of the regional constitution with the objective of protecting, preserving andrnpromoting Awi peopleâ€™s culture and language through self- governance and self determination.rnHowever, this study found that the implementation of such constitutional right were going on atrnlow pace than expected due to low commitment of administrators, financial dependence of zonernadministration from the regional government, weak application of good governancernprinciples, regional interference on zonal affairs and less decentralized power/ authority ofrnlegal nature. Lustily it is recommended to enhance zonal autonomy, decreasing financialrndependence, increasing administratorâ€™s commitment, starting Awgni language forrnadministrative use, encouraging public participation in planning and managing projects,rnenhancing transparency and clarity in financial administration or block grant
