This project aims to facilitate and support the meaningful inclusion of women in Ethiopia’s National Dialogue process. The Berghof Foundation builds off of their work over the past three years to consolidate the work of Ethiopian women working to facilitate regional dialogues and conflict resolution in their country. This work led to the formation of the Women’s Steering Committee. The Berghof Foundation supports the Women’s Steering Committee by providing capacity-building training, facilitating alliance-building and networking opportunities. It supports the strategic positioning of representatives to engage and mainstream women’s participation in the National Dialogue process, while sensitizing power holders about the strategic value of women’s inclusion in this national process. Project activities include: (1) providing virtual coaching, advice and on-demand support on substantive issues to the Women’s Steering Committee; (2) providing administrative and logistic support; (3) providing in-person and virtual skill-based and conceptual training; and (4) holding workshops for both the Women’s Steering Committee and wider stakeholder groups.
