Abstract
This review focuses on the importance of the social contract in addressing conflict and fragility in East Wallaga, Ethiopia. In situations of conflict and fragility, the social contract is often weakened or broken, leading to a breakdown in trust and legitimacy between citizens and the state. This review utilized a qualitative approach. Data was collected through key informant interviews and focus group discussions with individuals such as teachers, local health workers, and community leaders who were selected for their knowledge, access, and credibility. In addition Rapid Response Assessment was conducted on a monthly basis to gather real-time data on displacement and the host community. The study finds challenges, it is crucial to understand the specific dynamics of the region, including ethnic tensions and lack of basic public services and infrastructure. The study recommends implementing a social contract can promote inter-ethnic cooperation and reconciliation, provide a framework for the provision of public goods and services, and encourage democratic participation and accountability. Engagement of a range of actors in the peacebuilding process and addressing underlying causes of conflict are necessary for the success of the social contract.
