Programme Objective

The projects aims to ensure the promotion, protection, respect and fulfilment of human rights in Ethiopia.  There are three main goals; to increase the capacity of state agencies to respect human rights and the protection of especially vulnerable groups; to empower civil society to be active actors in the promotion and protection of human rights and; to realize the enhanced protection of the rights of marginalized and vulnerable groups. This cooperation also seeks to build the network and reach of CHR, and to this end will continually seize opportunities for interaction between the Centre and other relevant institutions and initiatives to enable learning as well as exchange of expertise and experience for mutual benefit. Such collaborations are at a regional and international level and range from academic exchanges with other higher education institutions to other bilateral cooperation with non-academic partners in Africa and beyond.
