EJHR – Call for Special Issue
Special Issue: Humanitarian Governance and Human Rights in Ethiopia
The Ethiopian Journal of Human Rights (EJHR) announces a call for paper or a Special Issue on
Humanitarian Governance in Ethiopia.
Background
Ethiopia’s recent conflict dynamics, climate shocks, displacement, and evolving political landscape have
intensified humanitarian needs and exposed complex governance challenges. Issues such as aid coordination,
access restrictions, protection of civilians, localization, accountability, and the politicization of aid require

understanding of how humanitarian action is shaped, governed, and experienced in Ethiopia.

• Humanitarian governance frameworks
• State, local actors, and civil society roles
• Human rights implications of humanitarian response
