Envision Beyond Basic Needs Association
Ethiopia
Envision Beyond Basic Needs Association (EBBA) is a national non-governmental organization established in 2006. EBBA works to fulfill the basic needs for the entire population of the country in general and the marginalized and vulnerable groups in particular. EBBA’s strategy for program implementation is based on recognizing the indigenous knowledge and traditional wisdom that exists in the community. Program focus areas of EBBA include availability and access to basic needs and services, diversification of economic opportunities and livelihoods, drought mitigation and early warning systems, rehabilitation and conservation of natural resources, and building the capacity of the communities to be self-reliant, advocate for their human rights, and empower them to decide their own destinies.
