| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to assess the role of CSOs in the development of
democratic political culture in Ethiopia. Descriptive survey method was used to attain
the objective of the study. The study was conducted by using 27 CSOs engaged in the
development of democratic political culture of the country, 5 donor agencies and 3
concerned government organizations. Respondents were executives of CSOs, government
official and representatives of donor agencies. Respondents were selected through
purposive sampling. Questionnaires, interviews and document review techniques were
employed. The statistical tools used to analyze data were percentage, tables, graphs and
charts.
The results have revealed that the historical role of CSOs in the development of
democratic political culture of the country was a recent development where CSOs have
spent considerable time in service delivery activities. As far as the contributions of CSOs
in the area are concerned, it is insignificant. CSOs have faced many challenges many of
which arise from government. The CSO-state relation in the area in Ethiopia was not
smooth for various reasons. There were also instances where CSOs were engaged
beyond their mandate especially in the political activities. The government of FDRE has
enacted CSP in 2009, which governs CSOs in Ethiopia. Its immediate impact will be
negative while in the long term its effect will be positive. |
