Center for Democracy and Human Rights (CDHR) was established as civic organization on August 29, 2019 and licensed by Agency for Civil Society Organization with certificate No. 4411 to operate freely in the country. CDHR is nonpartisan, free from religion and ethnic affiliation. It is also a nonprofit and nongovernment organization.
The idea of establishing CDHR came from 11 committed Ethiopians from various disciplines to promote free education of democracy and human rights.
