The Sew Mehon - Alliance of Ethiopian Local CSOs is a dynamic and inclusive consortium formed in 2023 to promote gender equality, peacebuilding, and
human rights through grassroots empowerment. The Alliance is composed of three founding member organizations Eurika, IDS and N4ED. Together, these
partners implement the “Joint Action to Promote Equality, Peace, and Healing in Ethiopia” project across six diverse regions Amhara, South Ethiopia, Harari,
Benishangul-Gumuz, Tigray, and Addis Ababa. They work through a democratic, rotating leadership model and uphold core values of neutrality, inclusiveness,
local ownership, and horizontal decision-making.
Through this project, the consortium empowers local civil society by identifying and supporting new and
emerging grassroots actors, enhancing their leadership and organizational capacity, and forming
a national network of selected community-based groups. Using innovative tools like comic books, inspirational storytelling, and digital campaigns, the Alliance also fosters positive social narratives and peacebuilding dialogue across Ethiopia. Finally, in three of the six regions, the consortium members will lead specific action to support SGBV survivors.
