The Oxford Initiative on Peace and Recovery in Ethiopia aims to explore pathways to steady peace and strong, sustainable, and inclusive recovery and development in Ethiopia.
It aims to articulate how the international community can best support Ethiopia’s own solutions without interfering in the fragile peace and recovery process.
The Initiative works by conducting academic research on the origins and broad implications of the conflict, compiling nuanced and up-to-date analysis, and providing a neutral platform for discussion and dialogue.
