The strong state

Intensified hold in Ethiopia

How is advocacy carried out in Ethiopia?
How to focus on and address important issues in a society to obtain the best results?
Should the partners in civil society address their own specific issue and obtain small, but concrete, results?
- Or should the partners together address big general themes?
- Or is a combination of the above the best solution?

The study seeks to investigate the above and discuss advocacy in an Ethiopian context.

Further, the study seeks to map and critically analyse existing development stakeholders in Ethiopia in order to assess existing capacity to plan and implement advocacy activities.
