CURRENT PROJECT
Fostering the meaningful inclusion of women in Ethiopian dialogue processes
The project supports Ethiopian women in their efforts to foster the meaningful participation of women in the country's dialogue processes.
Timeframe: 2022 - 2024
Within the Berghof Foundation’s overall work to support Ethiopian-led and -owned efforts towards inclusive dialogue processes on multiple levels, this project focuses on supporting Ethiopian women in their efforts to strengthen the role and inclusion of women in said processes.
The project pursues a multi-pronged strategy: It supports influential women from diverse backgrounds to meaningfully engage with procedural and substantive issues by providing skills-based, conceptual and thematic learning opportunities, as well as spaces for contextualisation. It further supports Ethiopian women in their efforts to facilitate inter-group outreach and pre-consultations as a basis for the integration of women’s perspectives in dialogue processes. Finally, the project strengthens gender inclusive alliances by engaging with male power-holders and raising their awareness for the strategic value of women’s inclusion in dialogue processes.
