Human Rights Technical Assistance in Ethiopia
The focus of this two-year program description is on improved independent monitoring, investigation, and reporting of human rights abuses and violations with the objective of deterring human rights violations.
This will be achieved through a package of interventions primarily targeted at The Ethiopian National Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and Ethiopian Human Rights Council (EHRCO).
In addition, other NGOs will have access to capacity building activities, primarily through training, as the occasion arises.
While an in-depth needs assessment for each of the two institutions will be the first phase of this program, it is anticipated that needs identified will include increased staff capacity in investigating, monitoring and reporting, as well as data and information collection and management.
In addition to increased staff capacity there will be a focus on helping to develop and strengthen the relevant monitoring and reporting systems for these institutions, as well as ? where appropriate and not funded from other sources ? improving essential infrastructure.
