• Pursue <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>ciple of “democratic ownership”. The role of Civil Society<br />
Organisations (CSOs) and Parliament <strong>in</strong> aid processes <strong>in</strong> general should be<br />
re<strong>in</strong><strong>for</strong>ced, especially <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>health</strong> <strong>sector</strong>.<br />
• The Government should provide an enabl<strong>in</strong>g environment <strong>for</strong> <strong>Ethiopia</strong>n CSOs.<br />
The Charity Law<br />
should be re<strong>for</strong>med so that it can become an <strong>in</strong>strument <strong>for</strong> CSOs’<br />
development and empowerment. If no <strong>for</strong>eign fund<strong>in</strong>g is go<strong>in</strong>g to be<br />
allowed, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> Government should put mechanisms <strong>in</strong> place to ensure that<br />
CSOs will not have to stop <strong>the</strong>ir activities because of <strong>the</strong> new law.<br />
• DPs can also contribute to achiev<strong>in</strong>g greater “democratic ownership” by<br />
channell<strong>in</strong>g more aid through local CSOs and Non-Governmental Organisations<br />
(NGOs) <strong>in</strong>stead of us<strong>in</strong>g International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs).<br />
