Developing a Detailed Methodology and Plan for Research into Barriers and Gaps Related to Women and Girls’ Rights to Land Inheritance in Ethiopia
1. Introduction
The Forum of Federations is an international learning organization, based in Canada, working on federal and devolved governance across the globe. The Forum has been legally established in Ethiopia since 2008 as an international organization.
Strengthening Federal Governance and Pluralism in Ethiopia is a five-year Project Funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) to be implemented with various Ethiopian partners, led by the House of Federation. The Project addresses weaknesses in Ethiopia’s federal governance with the ultimate outcome of a strengthened and more responsive federal system for Ethiopian men and women.
One of the intermediate outcomes of the project is increased understanding of the constitution by state actors and Ethiopian men and women regarding their rights, and avenues of recourse, which will be achieved through increased capacity of key actors to properly interpret and facilitate judicial and administrative recourse for constitutional rights, with major focus on rights issues affecting women and girls.
Under this key result area, among others, the project has identified three priority issues affecting women and girl’s rights in Ethiopia and now plans to conduct a research into the issue of land inheritance. Prior to conducting the research, however, having a clear Terms of Reference (TOR) is paramount for conducting an effective study and eventual stakeholder dialogue. Therefore, the Forum would like to hire an experienced consultant who will assist its project team in writing ToR for one of the identified issues. The resultant research will then be used as basis for stakeholder dialogue to identify their strategies for solving the gaps and barriers identified in the research.
