Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the Role of NGO’s on Empowering Women in the
Community: The case of Triggerise Stiching Ethiopia in Addis Ababa. A descriptive correlation
research design was used to achieve the purpose of the study. On top of this, the research sample
was composed of 16 NGO Staffs and 288 women participants in Addis Ababa. These samples
were drown from the total population using purposive sampling for NGO staffs and
proportionate stratified sampling techniques for selection of sample respondent women
participants. Moreover, the data gathering tools for this research were questionnaire, interview
and document analysis. Meanwhile, the response rate for this study was 100% for both NGO
staffs and women participants. Data collected using these instruments were analysed using
descriptive statistics and t-test. Besides, correlation and regression analysis were used for the
quantitative data while thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. Finally, the study
revealed that there was a statistically significant positive correlation between roles of NGO’s in
women empowerment. Based in the results of the study, it was concluded that the participation
among women mostly is in the form of participation as an end. Furthermore, as this paper has
shown, the result of correlation between participation and empowerment was significantly
positive. It means that the high level of participation leads to high empowerment.
Finally, it is essential to say that women’s empowerment remains disregarded areas, even if
some efforts have been made recently. So that a great deal of research needs to be done in detail
to provide necessary information to determine the factors influencing women’s empowerment
through decision making.
