A project closeout workshop held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia stakeholders from government structures, Centre for Development and Capacity Building Management, UNDP small grant program came together to review the final project, “Strengthening and Scaling-up of Lake Dambal Conservation Project Through Converted Efforts of Local Actors.”

Human Rights (HR) issues are among priorities of the Center for Development and Capacity Building ever since its establishment. To this effect, the Center has established ‘online youth community’ in order to effectively make use of the social media for HR, Peace and Good Governance promotion. We have designated April 2023 as the month of the social media (Facebook) engagement to promote HR and increasing youth followers to have more impact. The engagement includes competition/challenges, information updates and consultative workshops. This workshop is part of reaching wider stakeholders to build consensus among key stakeholder leadership and the youth so that HR promotion and protection issues gain the concerted efforts of the broader range of societies.
