Do you know what makes African Union ECOSOCC unique among similar bodies around the world? The fact that it was established as an advisory body composed entirely of civil society organizations (CSOs) from the 55 AU Member States! ECOSOCC is designed to give a formal voice to civil society in the policy-making processes of the African Union. Its establishment reflects a commitment to ensuring that the peoples of Africa directly contribute to the discussions and decisions affecting the continent.

Strengthening Civil Society Engagement for a Transparent and Inclusive National Dialogue in Ethiopia! CEHRO, in partnership with GIZ, is currently implementing an impactful project aimed at regularly tracking and monitoring the Ethiopian national dialogue process. The monitoring exercise is anchored on enhancing CSOs’ engagement in the process through a Community of Practice (CoP) structure that fosters collaboration, learning, and transparency. As part of this initiative, we have successfully established 7 CoP hubs so far in key locations: Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Hawassa, Jigjiga, Afar, Assosa, and Gambella. Through these hubs, over 130 grassroots CSOs are now actively involved in monitoring the dialogue, ensuring that voices from diverse stakeholders are heard and represented. In addition to the monitoring, the CoP platform will increase CSOs’ visibility, networking, and collaboration at the local level, enabling them to work together toward a more inclusive and transparent dialogue process. Together, we are building stronger networks for a transparent and inclusive national dialogue in Ethiopia. #CEHRO #EthiopiaNationalDialogue #EthiopiaNationalDialogueCommision #GiZEthiopia

Let's begin the story of African Union ECOSOCC! Before we start the journey, let's look at the foundation: The Awakening (1990s - 2000). Before transitioning from the Organisation of African unity (OAU) to the African Union, the OAU had an ad-hoc relationship with #civilsociety organizations (CSOs). This era saw significant steps towards recognizing CSOs through crucial decisions and charters: 📄1990: Declaration on the political and socio-economic situation in #Africa and the fundamental changes taking place in the world: https://lnkd.in/dKC6kE_4 📄1991: The African Charter for Popular Participation in Development and Transformation: https://lnkd.in/devWNpJw 📄1991: Abuja Treaty establishing the African Economic Community (AEC): https://lnkd.in/dthNTVQh 📄2000: Solemn Declaration on the CSSDCA by the AU Assembly: https://lnkd.in/dxNZ4Fen These milestones set the stage for a more inclusive and people-centered African Union. #ECOSOCC20
