New Ethiopia Civil Society Legislation

Ethiopia Insight posted on 7 December 2018 a commentary titled "Progressive New CSO Law Needs Tweaks to Fully Dispel Climate of Fear" by Yared Hailemariam, head of the Association for Human Rights in Ethiopia.

The latest draft of the law governing civil society organizations in Ethiopia, although a big improvement over the 2009 law, still needs some improvement before it becomes a model for the East Africa region according to an Ethiopian human rights activist.
