H.E. Sofie From-Emmesberger, EU Ambassador to Ethiopia
The two-day LEAD training in Ethiopia concluded with the participation of H.E. Sofie From-Emmesberger, EU Ambassador to Ethiopia, who attended the final session and engaged directly with the participants. Her presence highlighted the European Union’s strong commitment to supporting civil society and democratic governance in Ethiopia through sustained partnerships and capacity-building initiatives.
Throughout the two-days training, 3-4 July 2025, participants demonstrated engagement with the topics and shared valuable insights from their diverse experiences in the various regions of Ethiopia. The interactive sessions on leadership and conflict management not only built practical skills but also created space for peer learning, critical reflection, and strategic thinking within civil society structures.
This training marks another significant step in the partnership between ECES and CECOE, under the EURECS II project, funded by the German cooperation and co-funded by the European Union. By investing in leadership development, the project contributes to more inclusive electoral processes and resilient democratic institutions in Ethiopia. ECES extends its sincere thanks to all participants for their dedication and active involvement.
