Background: The Network of Ethiopian Women’s Associations (NEWA) is a non-partisan, non-governmental network organization established in 2003, and currently NEWA has 38-member local organizations and associations seeking to create a stronger advocacy voice for women’s advancement. NEWA has a twofold goal: synchronizing the individual activities of women’s associations into an integrated collective effort and synergy to realize their common aspirations for gender equality; and launching a vigorous public campaign of promotion, advocacy, and lobbying for women’s rights.

NEWA with financial support from the Spanish Development Cooperation to implement and lead a new project, namely ‘Strengthen the participation and leadership of women’s rights organizations in response to sexual and gender-based violence’. The project scope is purely focused on Strengthening the SGBV response through building the capacities of Women right organizations and the project will be implemented at the National level and regional levels in Addis Ababa, Oromia, and Somalia. So, to enhance the SGB Prevention and Response through the contribution of this project, NEWA will work in collaboration with member associations, and other women’s structures as a major stakeholder and strategy. This approach also contributes to the ongoing national advocacy on SGBV. About this, NEWA would like to hire a national consulting company that provides a three-day Communication and Leadership training for Women’s Rights organization Executive directors and program directors.
