The Civic Engagement Activity is to enhance citizen participation in social and political processes in Uganda, with a particular focus on youth. The USAID Ethiopia Civic Engagement Activity aimed to strengthen Ethiopias social fabric. By fostering a vibrant civic environment, the initiative sought to mitigate conflicts and empower marginalized groups.
The USAID Ethiopia Civic Engagement (ECE) activity endeavored to overcome deep-seated citizen distrust and foster inclusive dialogue, respect for human rights, and citizen-responsive governance to strengthen Ethiopias social fabric and advance sustainable development goals.
The activity supported inclusive dialogue, human rights, and effective governance through civil society organizations and community-based actors.
The activity issued grants to civil society organizations, universities, institutes and others to conduct research, run training, pilot novel civic engagement ideas, run advocacy campaigns and more.
ECE used the collective impact approach, which calls for multiple organizations or entities to align their individual agendas in favor of a shared common agenda, to foster multi-stakeholder civic partnerships.
This approach was activated via problem-driven iterative adaptation as a core methodology to support joint action among local system actors, deconstruct complex challenges and address root issues. Through this approach, civil society networks co-created activities and built capacity for themselves and the sector.
The ECE and its partners served as facilitators and supporters in fostering community, connection and trust.
