Background

Human rights CSOs have been suffering as direct targets of the much domineering legislative, institutional and political measures taken by the government for the past many years in Ethiopia. One of the main challenges in terms of setting up a formal and organized network of Human Rights CSOs in the past was the numbers of Ethiopian CSOs working on human rights were too few. These CSOs were also not well organized to ensure the existence of an enabling environment for human rights and democratic governance through CSOs-led evidence-based advocacy, constructive dialogue, and partnerships for actions. To tackle these problems and with the vision of creating a platform for strong and vibrant human rights CSOs for the realization of human rights and democratic values in Ethiopia, an engagement with Human Rights CSOs started in 2015 and the Consortium of Ethiopian Human Rights Organizations (CEHRO) was registered on the 16th of March 2018 (re-registered as per 1113/2019 with registration number 3932). Currently CEHRO has 12 active member CSOs from different regions of the country including 5 founding members. Since its establishment in 2018, CEHRO has conducted several strategic activities which benefited its member organizations that can contribute toward realization of the collective CEHRO’s vision.
