CSSP2

CSSP2 is a capacity development program designed to support Ethiopia’s civil society capacity to “contribute to inclusive and accountable governance; and an improved environment for the promotion and protection of the human rights of all Ethiopians”. To achieve this grand objective, the programme identified three themes (gender transformation, young people, and citizen-state engagement) and has taken human rights-based approach as its key strategic approach. In addition to channelling fund to local CSOs, the programme has been providing technical and capacity development supports through various means. In addition, the programme has been working with relevant government stakeholders to build their capacity and create space and platforms for effective civic engagement and learnings. The programme has been under implementation since August 2018.
