The Coalition of Ethiopian Civil Society Organizations for Elections (CECOE) a collaboration of networks of Civil Society Organizations with focus on electoral support in Ethiopia through promoting citizens’ participation and ensuring that electoral processes are free, fair, and credible. Driven by our desire to serve in the prevention, mitigation and management of election-related conflicts and potential violence in the run up to, and following the coming elections, we work in all regions and city administrations to enhance the institutional capacity that enables civil society organizations to engage in voters and civic education and election monitoring and observations in collaboration with the NEBE, other government bodies and donors. The Board comprises the Ethiopian Civil Society Forum (ECSF), Inter-Africa Group (IAG), Ethiopian Lawyers Association (ELA), Coalition of Christian Relief and Development Associations (CCRDA), Network of Ethiopian Women’s Associations (NEWA), Consortium of Civic and Voters Education Actors (CCVEA) and Ethiopian National Disabilities Associations Network (ENDAN).
The Coalition of Ethiopian Civil Society Organizations for Elections (CECOE) is a broad-based network embracing of almost 170 civil society organizations operating in the ten regional states and the two city administrations, Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa. CECOE attained its legal status on February 4, 2020 and obtained its certificate of registration No.4748 from the Agency for Civil Society Organizations (ACSO). CECOE was formed with a view to supporting the political and economic reform currently underway in Ethiopia taking into account the upcoming national elections as well as recognizing the need for forming a coalition of civil society organizations that will engage in electoral activities in a coordinated and sustained manner. The Secretariat oversees the day to day running of the CECOE structured in four program areas: Civic and Voter Education, Election Monitoring and Observation, Advocacy & Stakeholder Engagement, Research and Capacity Building.
