Abstract
This article examined the advantages of adopting federalism and the contemporary challenges of functioning federalism in Ethiopia. Both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies were used for the study. Survey questionnaires were collected from 384 citizens (Oromia, South Nation, Nationality, People, Sidama, Somali regions, and Addis Ababa city). The in-depth interview was collected from 64 key informants (legislators, academicians, political parties, and officials). The findings show that adopting federalism in Ethiopia has an important role and function. On the other hand, the challenge for practicing federalism in Ethiopia is the escalation in ethnic-based conflict in the country, fueled by competing for ethnic agitation and the state's and ruling party's dissonance.
