As we found out, Ethiopia is one of the main countries on focus in International Strategy for Finland's Water Sector. What a coincidence, since Ethiopia is one of our group member's home country! So, we have decided to choose Ethiopia as one of the cases to study for TWC as a "case-to-start-with".Another coincidence after a while is that CMI (Crisis Management Initiative) has been active recently especially in Ethiopia. CMI has collaboration between the African Union's Conflict Management Devision (AU CMD) and the African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD). I just found that out when I surfed in web.Why is this interesting? Well, CMI is a Finnish non-profit organization, which works for crisis management and solving disputes. It is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Finland. We have thought of that as a possible co-operative organization for TWC, since they both would locate in Finland, and both are in interests of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
I think we have a case here!
