Abstract

Designed for a period of three years, this project and its ideals and activities are demand-driven, empirically grounded on the social and political realities in Ethiopia and responsive to partnership demands of the two academic institutions in the South. The project is initiated after a thorough assessment and identification of needs of the Southern institutions in the designated fields of intervention. All the major stakeholders in Ethiopia have been consulted in designing the project, including the judiciary. In substance, all elements of the proposed project are perfectly aligned with national development strategies of the Ethiopian government, envisaged inter alia in the National Human Rights Action Plan and the Growth and Transformation Plan. The main activities of this partnership build on the findings of the previous project while introducing a substantial variation in the qualitative objectives and target groups. The activities include short term exchange visits, PhD and MA curricula development, Legal and Human Rights Academy; problem-oriented research; and admission of teaching staff to the PhD Program at the KFUG.
