ECYDO has been implementing peace-building projects in Oromia, Arsi Zone for the
last 5 years with the financial and technical support of the European Union through Civil Society Fund III and USAID. The projects aim to promote peacebuilding and coexistence among diverse community members, including young men and women, using a bottom-up approach. This approach puts the central role of the projects to grass-root players, allowing more tailored and close dialogue among various indigenous groups, between generations, genders, cultures, and conflicting parties.
