ActionAid Ethiopia (AAE) is an international Gender Justice, Good Governance and Poverty Eradication organization. AAE builds capacities to create people agencies of critical mass of communities especially Women, Girls and Young People living in poverty and exclusion to fulfill their rights, ensure redistribution of resources and build their resilience. 

We prioritize to work with Women, Girls and Young People and their organizations, networks, civil society organizations, national and local government and other allies to overcome gender injustice and structural causes of poverty. AAE envisions a just, equitable and sustainable Ethiopia, in which every person enjoys the right to a life of dignity and, freedom from poverty. To this end addressing the structural causes of violence against women and girls and promoting economic alternatives for women are key thematic areas AAE is prioritizing.

ActionAid Ethiopia, with the financial support from IrishAid which is facilitated through ActionAid Ireland has been implementing a multi-country Women’s Rights Program phase 2 focusing on addressing Violence against Women and Girls, and Economic Security for women in Guna, Amhara Region and Kefa Zone, Decha in SNNPR. The main objective of the program is to ensure that women and girls living in poverty and affected by exclusion are supported by the community and systems actors to enjoy lives safe from violence and more secure livelihoods. The program has been implemented over six years (2017-2022). The overall objective of the program evaluation is to generate knowledge from our experience of implementing the Women’s Rights Program to address violence against women and girls, improve women’s livelihoods, and improve understanding among the Irish public of overseas development aid.
