The National Electoral Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) is an independent organization established in accordance with Article 102 of the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. Since its establishment, the Board has organized different branch offices at both the federal and regional levels including the two administrative cities. The NEBE has conducted six national elections, four local elections, and eight referendums.

Since January 2019, in an effort to reform NEBE, the House of Peoples’ Representatives enacted a new proclamation that reduced the management board to five members that serve full time for a period of six years. According to Proclamation no.1133/2019, the board has the following powers and duties.

The humanitarian needs in Ethiopia are escalating at an alarming rate because of armed conflict and climate change. The country is grappling with an increase in natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and desert locust infestations, all of which are contributing to a surge in extreme poverty. As a result, more than 10 million people across the nation are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.

The ongoing conflict between the government and armed groups in northern Ethiopia, which began in November 2020, has triggered mass migration, widespread food insecurity and a devastating loss of life and injury.

Good Neighbors has been actively working in Ethiopia since 1997, starting during a crucial period of recovery from a 17-year civil war and severe poverty. Recognizing the dire needs of children, the most vulnerable group in the post-war era, the organization launched its first initiative in Addis Ababa’s Lideta Sub City, focusing primarily on enhancing access to education.

Building on this initial success, Good Neighbors Ethiopia expanded its reach in 2010 by initiating a community development project in the Arsi Zone of the Oromia Region. This expansion continued in 2011 and 2012 with three additional projects in Sidama and Addis Ababa. In 2017, in partnership with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), the organization began a project promoting maternal and child health. Since then, Good Neighbors Ethiopia has extended its community development projects to further communities in need, while also providing support to those affected by conflicts, including internally displaced people from the Tigray Conflict, in collaboration with Japan Platform.

Currently, Good Neighbors Ethiopia operates in eight regions: Amhara, Oromia, Benishangul Gumuz, Southern Ethiopia, Central Ethiopia, Sidama, Somali, and Tigray Regional States, as well as the city administration of Addis Ababa, managing a total of 11 projects. The organization supports over 13,500 children through its sponsorship program and benefits more than 75,000 community members. Good Neighbors Ethiopia collaborates with esteemed partners such as UNHCR, UNOCHA, KOICA, and the Refugees and Returnees Service (RRS) of Ethiopia to empower people and transform communities.

One Acre Fund is an agricultural service provider that supports Africa's smallholder farmers to build resilient communities.

More than 50 million families in Sub-Saharan Africa earn a living from small farms, which produce 80 percent of the continent’s food. But harvests still lag far behind the rest of the world. We supply the financing and training these farmers need to grow their way out of hunger and build lasting pathways to prosperity.

Instead of giving handouts, we invest in farmers to help them increase their yields and their profits. When farmers become more productive, they help feed healthy communities and create thriving economies.

HOPE Enterprises began in 1971 with Jack and Evangel Smith, they were American missionaries living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, opened their home to twenty street children offering them basic needs, schooling, skill training, and love.

As one of the first local NGOs in Ethiopia, the organization was registered as a humanitarian association in 1974. Since then, they have successfully grown to operate two feeding programs for people living on the streets of Addis Ababa and Dessie, seven elementary schools, five high schools, numerous vocational training and adult literacy programs throughout Ethiopia, and Hope College of Business, Science & Technology in Addis Ababa.

Flipper International School (FIS) was founded in 1998 by two visionary educators, Mrs. Serkaddis Seifu and Mrs. Menna Selamu.

Over the years, FIS has built a strong reputation for academic excellence and holistic development. What began as a preschool has evolved into one of the most respected institutions in Addis Ababa, now offering high-quality education across Early Years, Primary, Lower Secondary, Upper Secondary and Advanced Level programs.
