About the Organization

- Strengthening lawyers' participation through training and capacity-building
- Facilitating the exchange of ideas and experience among lawyers nationwide
- Litigating to uphold rights recognized under the FDRE Constitution and other laws

Consultancy Objective
Multiple civil society organizations in Ethiopia are engaged in documentation, assessment, legal aid services, awareness raising, humanitarian assistance, psychosocial support, advocacy, and action planning related to conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence (CR-SGBV). However, these efforts remain fragmented and often do not complement one another, limiting the effectiveness of interventions aimed at ensuring justice for victims and delivering coordinated support services.
To address these challenges, LHR plans to organize a national conference in Adama bringing together regional and national stakeholders to discuss and resolve gaps, enhance coordination, and identify opportunities for improving CR-SGBV documentation and service delivery.
LHR seeks to hire a qualified consultant to conduct a comprehensive assessment on the coordination of CR-SGBV initiatives. This assessment will inform the national conference through a detailed report focusing on coordination gaps and recommendations among civil society organizations and victims' support groups working on CR-SGBV in Ethiopia.
