Forum for Social Studies, Ethiopia

The Forum for Social Studies (FSS) was set up by a group of academics and professionals in 1998. Two main objectives underscored the establishment of FSS: the pursuit of independent policy research and the provision of public forum for debates and consultations on policy issues. In carrying out its program activities, FSS aims to contribute its share to the fostering and expansion of the democratization process.
