The mission of the Office is to create favourable conditions so that the powers and duties given to the President under Article 57 of the Regional Constitution, and to the Administrative Council (Cabinet) under Article 55, can be carried out, and to bring about efficient administration by providing technical and professional support. Furthermore, through Proclamation No. 162/2003, issued to re-determine the powers and duties of the executive organs of the Regional Government, the role of the Office was proclaimed anew and the Office was given significant powers.
Establishment of the Office
Although there is no document that states precisely when the President's Office was established, various records show that the Office's establishment goes together with the establishment of the Regional Government and took place in Hagayya (August) 1984 (Ethiopian calendar). The President's Office of the Oromia Regional State Government Administration was established to support the President and the Administrative Council of the Regional State Government (the Cabinet) in exercising the powers and duties given to them by the Constitution.

Planning and organizational role
The Office must provide reliable support to the President and the Cabinet by effectively discharging the leadership role expected of it in implementing, and ensuring the implementation of, the political, economic and social tasks of the Five-Year Growth and Transformation Plan in a credible manner. In this connection, because it was necessary to put in place the working procedures and structure required to carry out the powers and duties given to it under Article 14 of Proclamation No. 162/2003, and also to resolve at the root the procedural and capacity gaps the Office had long experienced, an organizational reform study has been carried out so that it becomes an organization able to effectively achieve the purpose for which it was established.
