Objective 1: To identify and build the capacity of key union leaders and CETU staff to become strategic and inclusive organizers

Objective 2: To empower workers and community activists to participate in democratic practices

To increase the capacity of workers to defend their rights and achieve decent work in Ethiopia, the Center will provide training and mentoring in rights-based organizing to its trade union partner, the Confederation of Ethiopian Trade Unions. To complement these efforts, the Center will assist the partner in developing strategies to promote the inclusion of marginalized groups, including women, in the existing structures. In addition, the Center will assist its partner in empowering workers and community activists to participate in democratic practices through civic education.
