Leader for a Day: Ethiopia’s Woreda Administrator

Step into the shoes of an Ethiopian district leader balancing progress, pressure, and integrity.

Leader for a Day: Ethiopia’s Woreda Administrator is part of The African Gourmet History Hub, exploring how Africa’s local politics, ethics, and history intersect. In this interactive experience, you become the decision-maker of a district—called a woreda—and navigate the same moral and financial choices that shape real African leadership. The game reflects Ethiopia’s post-federal governance model and invites players to understand how trust, integrity, and resource management define African democracy at the local level.
