Alternative Draft CSO/NGO Legislation
|
As our partners recall, an NGO Legal Framework Consultative Taskforce formed in 2003 consisting of Action Aid
Ethiopia (AAE), Action Professionals' Association for the People (APAP), AIDOW, Catholic Relief Service (CRS),
Cher Ethiopia, Christian Relief and Development Association (CRDA), Christian Children's Fund of Canada (CCFC),
Consortium of Reproductive Health Association (CORHA), Ethiopian Women's Lawyer Association (EWLA), Forum for
Social Studies (FSS), Hope Enterprise, HUNDEE, Inter Africa Group (IAG) and PACT Ethiopia reviewed a draft NGO
Legislation prepared by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). The Taskforce in consultation with the MoJ repeatedly
revised the document but unfortunately, the Ministry time and again failed to include NGO suggestions. Thus,
the Taskforce during its meeting in July 2004 agreed to draft an alternative legislation. Doing so, it tabled
the document for discussion by holding a press conference on October 29, 2004.

Commentary and Observations on the latest NGO/CSO Draft Legislation
|
It is to be recalled that in May 2004, an Activity Report on NGO/CSO Draft Legislation outlining the deliberations
of the Task-Group and the progress made in developing the draft proclamation by giving an article-by-article
account that attempted to graphically and comprehensively describe and record what transpired during the
successive meetings held by the TG was submitted. This report is a follow up of the aforementioned report
offering a commentary and/or observation on the draft prepared by the Ministry of Justice and submitted for our
consideration and observation in June 2004. Like the previous report, this report also will indicate
article-by-article, which agreements and/or understandings have been brought on board and which have been
left unattended to without any change. In this report cross-reference will be made to the detailed May report
for further clarification on detailed and pertinent issues. Therefore this report should be read in tandem with
the May report. What this report sets out to do is simply indicate areas of convergence and divergence so as
to easily and readily identify issues that need to be further taken up and addressed. And by way of conclusion
will indicate the major areas of difference and the critical issues that need to be taken up and addressed
further.
