Dear Colleagues,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing on behalf of the Consortium of Christian Relief and Development Associations (CCRDA), an umbrella organization in Ethiopia comprising over 460 civil society organizations (CSOs). Our strategic objective is to foster vibrant CSOs through capacity building, collective advocacy, knowledge production, and networking.

I coordinate the Women, Children, and Youth Development Forum, which is dedicated to enhancing member contributions to the National Transitional Justice Policy. We are particularly focused on advocating for gender-transformative reparations that address the holistic health care needs of survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. Our initiatives include comprehensive documentation centered on both content and process, improving access to standard holistic health services through institutional and CSO-led efforts, and facilitating a network for survivors.

Participating in the ATJF would provide us with valuable insights from other countries and enable us to engage with esteemed experts in the field, ultimately enhancing the implementation of our initiatives. Could you please advise us on how we can connect and participate in the forum?

Thank you in advance for your guidance and support.

Sincerely,
Wudassie A.
