Under Proclamation No. 1162/2011 Article 124, the Ethiopian National Electoral Board provides civic and political education as well as candidates' training through various methods to reach sufficient electoral networks. The board also grants permission to civil society organizations and educational institutions to conduct such training.
The Ethiopian National Electoral Board, pursuant to Proclamation No. 1162/2011 Article 124, adjusts its methods and uses various engagement approaches to deliver civic and political education along with candidates' training. This initiative aims to reach an adequate electoral network.
Furthermore, the board permits civil society organizations and educational institutions lacking legal personality to offer candidates' training. Organizations seeking such permission must apply to the board under Article 125 and meet specific requirements. These include:
- Being a legally registered national civil society organization or an accredited higher education institution.
- Fulfilling the standards set for candidates' training.
- Possessing the capacity to execute the activity.
- Remaining independent from any political affiliations.
Organizations meeting these criteria, upon accepting the board's prepared guidelines for training provision and verifying their representatives, receive permission and a certificate. This framework supports the electoral process by expanding structured education.
