Child Rights Advocacy Network
Drawing from the experiences of other countries that have already taken the initiative to establish national networks within the Eastern Africa Region, and realising the need for coordinating efforts that are being made by individual CSOs to alleviate the challenges faced by vulnerable children, CHADET has recently initiated the establishment of the Ethiopian Child Rights Advocacy Network (ECRAN). With the technical and financial support obtained from EACRN, Save the Children and Plan International, more than thirty CSOs have recently came together and drafted a constitution for the establishment of the network. Once registered with Agency for Civil Society Organisations (ACSO) of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, the network is expected to work for the protection of the rights of children in Ethiopia.
