As part of its “Business for Peace” program, Initiative Africa officially introduced a digital resource center where it built a foundation to integrate knowledge, experience, and critical reflection into the national dialogue and thereby strengthen the national dialogue deliberations by launching a resource center for upcoming national dialogue in Ethiopia. This resource center will play a complementary role to support the National Dialogue Commission established by the House of People’s Representatives, and other actors engaged in the National Dialogue in Ethiopia. More specifically, the National Dialogue Resource Center can help us to:
- Educate the audience about the process, stages, and deliberations of the National Dialogue.
- Collect, analyze, and avail information regarding the National Dialogue deliberations for any user.
- Engage the private sector to get engaged through targeted content topics. Boost the quality of information available regarding the national dialogue.
- Support a variety of activities of the National Dialogue including research, media analysis, study papers, and a quarterly symposium to showcase new research and analysis
On the launching event, HE commissioner Melaku Woldemariam applauded the contributions IA is making to raise awareness about the upcoming National Dialogue.
The event was well-attended by representatives from the private sector, government, and civil society. The speakers and participants all agreed that the National Dialogue Resource Center plays an important role in providing information that will help better understand the Ethiopia National Dialogue.
