Name of the Measure
Broadcasting Service Proclamation No. 533/2007
It was necessary to revise the existing law on broadcasting service to take into account that broadcasting service
plays a significant role in the political, economic and social development of the country by providing information,
education and entertainment programs to the public. Moreover, broadcasting plays a major role in exercising the
basic constitutional rights such as freedom of expression, access to information and the right to elect and be
elected. It is then essential to ensure proper and fair utilisation of the limited radio wave wealth of the country. It
seems also essential to clearly define the rights and obligations of persons who undertake broadcasting service.

development of the country by controlling licences, frequency and technical standards.
Licences: EBA issues broadcasting service licenses following the regulation criteria. It fixes and collects license
fees for broadcasting services.
Frequency: EBA determines the site and coverage area of a broadcasting station to avoid an overlap with any
radio communication. It controls illegal transmissions and the use of the radio wave allocated.
Standards: EBA Prescribes technical standards for different categories of broadcasting services and issues
certificates of compliance to importers of the instruments and supervise their operations;
Ethiopian Broadcasting Authoroty (EBA) also conducts studies on the development of the broadcasting services
and decides on complaints arising in relation to broadcasting services.

skills required for the cultural and creative industries.
c. What is:
National
Regulatory
Over the last four years the Ministry of Culture and Tourism together with the Ministry of Education has worked
hard to create training opportunities for youth in the culture & creative sector. In the great endeavor exerted, 59
occupations at various levels (L1-L5) could be identified; occupational standards (OS) and assessment tool (AT)
for each could be prepared and dispatched to the training institutions to design curricula in accord with the OS and
start the training.
In the course of implementation, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism evaluated the variation of achievements
among regional colleges.
However, the basement work for the production of skilled youth in the cultural and creative industries has been well
done (document is annexed).
The scope of the measure covers the whole nation. Regional training institutions could offer trainings by the 59
identified occupations if they could afford. Meanwhile, they are supposed to take up some of the fields that best fit
the regional resources and market.
Convention?
Yes
List targeted individual/social groups (at least one):
The main target of the measure, though not exclusive, is talented youth of the country.
56/74
The expectation is very high. The project is intended to lead the sector by skilled man power. Various sub-sectors
in the cultural and creative industries have been led by individuals who have the interest and money to get involved.
Consequently, this is believed to have crippled the sector at some degree. Thus, this measure would bring
experience and training together to overturn the ill-practices in the sector.

When the occupations were identified, level standards and assessment tools were prepared, the involvement of
NGOs, private sector and civil society was limitless and irreplaceable. Beside the technical knowledge these
parties have, their understanding of the industry`s current need put them at the center of the effort.

6.1 CIVIL SOCIETY

PARTIES
Have you taken initiatives involving civil society in activities to:
Promote the objectives of the convention through awareness raising and other activities
The convention has been promoted in many workshops. For example a workshop by the Ministry of Culture and
Tourism to promote all UNESCO conventions was held in 2016 involving all the regions to raise awareness with
regional governments. While civil society was not involved in this workshop, the intention was to ensure that
regional governments understand how to work with civil society going forward. However, a separate measure to
promote the objectives of the convention has not been yet taken.
Collect data and share and exchange information on measures adopted at local and international level
The civil societies in Ethiopia (9 associations in the cultural field) are both sources of data and strong partners of
the ministry of culture and tourism and regional bureaus of equivalent institutions in producing measures of any
kind in the sector.
Their involvement in the revision of the recently ratified Cultural Policy (2015) and many other strategic documents
(for example Film policy, Cinema hall standards, copyright amendment, Collection Management Society) which
have been undergoing is very active and fruitful by any measure.
Provide spaces where ideas of civil societies can be heard and discussed while developing policies
The need of the civil society’s involvement is not only to have the crude technical knowledge of the sector. It’s
rather demanded to represent their voices and avoid the potential threats that have concerned them.
A good manifestation can be taken from the formulation of film policy while civil societies of the film and audio-
visual sector press hard their concern in need of policy support.
Implement Operational Guidelines
While Ministry of Culture and Tourism and regional bureaus are regulatory body of operational guidelines of the
sector; still various governmental institutions and civil societies that have stake(s) in it have also a limited
compartmentalised role in implementing operational guidelines.

CIVIL SOCIETY This section is to be completed with information provided by civil society
Has the civil society taken initiatives to:
Promote the principle and the objectives of the Convention locally and internationally
The capacity bulding on the quadrennial periodic report organized by UNESCO and supported by SIDA was the
first opportunity for civil society to be involved directly in the promotion of the Convention.
Promote ratification of the Convention and its implementation by governments
Through the first quadrennial periodic report process (2016)
Bring the concerns of citizens, associations and enterprises to public authorities, including vulnerable
groups
Music education advocacy:
The fact that music is not taught anymore at elementary level represent a challenge for upgrading music of
Ethiopia to an international level. Most of the artists learn an instrument only in college. Thought Starting early is
essential, not only to train the future musician, but also the future listeners, producers and sound professionals.
Beyond the advocacy, the Ethiopian Music Association is running an experiment in 2015-2016, where three
schools, one from government school, one a community school and one a private school, benefited from a free
training program.
Along with the music education advocacy, The Ethiopian Music Association also advocated for the standardisation
of indigenous instruments to support the early teaching and to increase professional standards.
Visaul Arts education advocacy:
Visual Arts scools and universities are only located in addis Ababa, the Visual Artists Association (whose
memebers are from all over Ethiopia) is advocating for the the develppement of Art schools in regions. Their action
is not limited at the federal level and they travel to provide workshops and advocate at regional and local level. A
successful exemple of this advocacy is given under the section “capacity building”.
Accessibility:
Selam Ethiopia is advocating the integration of visually impaired youth in regular music curriculum. Yared School of
Music, now part of Addis Ababa University, has opened its door to blind students where the first beneficiaries are
graduating in 2016. Some organization are not advocating for inclusiveness but put it into practice in their actions.
The Ethiopian Visaul Arts Association conducted a project with the Ethiopia National Association of Persons with
DisabilitiesThe Ethiopian Writers association also have several members of with disabilities, providing them with
technical support (design of posters and brochures) and art classes for children with an art therapy approach. The
approach in regards to them is that they are recogmized as writers first. There is no need to ratify any policy on the
emphasis of their disability because that would make them appeare different. Therefore, all are writers and there is
no new policy or structure that would need to be addressed.

Most musicians in Ethiopia live from their live shows and don’t receive royalties for their disc sales nor their radio
and television. The best case scenario, famous and prominent musicians earn a lump sum from selling their
master. Organisations such as Selam and the Ethiopian musician association have been advocating on copyright
issues for 10 years.
Copying disc for families, friends, and even for commercialization is common in Ethiopia. Focusing on the
infringement of Copyright, musicians through the music industry stopped releasing albums in 2010/2011 until 2013.
At this point the government implemented the Copyright Policy and started new measures such as arresting
people involved in piracy with punishment supported in law.
Women rights:
The Ethiopian Women Writer Association is focusing on advocating the empowerment of women in Ethiopian
society. The Ethiopian Music Association establish a partnership with a lawyer association to provide awareness
raising training on women’s rights to women artists in order to empower them in their practice and stand along men
in their carrier and in their personal life.
Artistic actions:
During their one week regional trips, the Ethiopian Writers Association meet with their local branches and organize
poetic evenings. There is usually a major piece reading and sometimes performing all along the week, but also
some more participative sessions. In Ethiopia, poetry is popular and people like to use this medium to express their
traditional culture but also their personal views. Those outdoor reading and sharing session in site specially chosen
for their symbolic perspective; a free space of dialogue. Government officers often participate in the association.
This is a very deep way to connect with the need of citizens need and also portray the perspective of the
government.
Contribute to the achievement of greater transparency and accountability in the cultural governance?
Overview
The engagement between civil society and the government has increased in the last 4 years. At the same time the
number of infringements in all cultural fields have increased such as music and film industries that is affecting the
livelihoods of those in the stakeholders in the industry. The numbers of people involved is not yet precisely known
but is a source of common concern to both government and civil society.
In the field of Royalties and copyright
To this date, there are no royalties collection in place but the civil society is actively working with Intellectual
Property and Royalties Society in the domain of music, film and literature. The Ethiopian music association, the
Ethiopian Visual Arts Association, the Ethiopian Writers Associations, Ethiopian Film Association, Ethiopian Theater
Arts Association, Audio-visual producers Assoication and Selam Ethiopia and Selam Ethiopia have successfully
advocated the creation of the Copyright Society for collecting royalties supported by the Intellectual Property Office
who has a mandate to organize and license such organisations, whom stakeholder would be the professional
associations. The government is now looking at the implementation procedure, including at regulatory level, with
the active support of the civil society. The president of the Ethiopian Writer Association was a participant of a WIPO
program supported by SIDA including a visit to Swedish copyright collection system. The Ethiopian filmmaker
63/74
association has also been working since 2013 on the implementation of film copyright. Progress has been made in
registering films as intellectual property, confiscating pirate editions of films and arresting infringers. The Ethiopian
Filmaker association is also working with the Ethics and Anticorruption Commission to give training on ethics and
copyright infringement to filmmakers. Last year, the Visal Arts Association also suppoted the case of a member
whose art have been copied in a corporate calendar; they achieved a satisfactory settlement. The writers
associations participated in decision making on book plagiarism, including when a book has been adapted to the
stage or the screen with the author’s authorization. In addition, the revenue authority demands validation of
trademarked logos from graphic designers.
The governance of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism
Professional associations such as the writers association also seat with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism to
participate in debates on the budget and measures implementation in their respective fields. It is important to state
that no civil society organization receive support from the government and live only of memberships and a few
corporate sponsors.
Monitor policy and programme implementation on measures to protect and promote diversity of cultural
expression?
Many organizations are conducting research, but it so far not focused on the monitoring of policy and programmes,
thought it sometimes can cover this field. For example, Selam Ethiopia held Cultural Forum where specialists and
practitioners talk about various policy matters or the development of a specific sector of the Cultural industries in
Ethiopia. The Visual Artis Association is yearly providing the Minitry of Culture and Toursim with a reaserch paper
on state of the contemporary visual Art developpement.
Build capacities in domains linked to the Convention and carrying out data collection
Selam Ethiopia and the Ethiopian Music Association are constantly working to build the capacities of musicians
and technical professionals in the field of sound to complement initial trainings. For example in the last 3 years, 90
music graduate unemployed students were trained in social media for self promotion, band management,
professional studios, music and lyrics writing and singing. As stated in the preferential treatment chapter, Selam
Ethiopia is developing the capacity of blinds musicians.
In 2016, the Ethiopian Visual Arts Association went to Bahir Dar to train self-taughts artists and meet with the local
Culture and Toursim bureau. It resulted in the signature of an MOU between the local governanat and the
association an visual arts trainings for secondary school students.
As stated earlier, in the framework of their advocacy for music training in elementary schools, the Ethiopian
Musician association is teaching in 3 schools: one government, one community and one private school.
Selam Ethiopia through its research program is conducting data collection in the music sector.
Create innovative partnerships with the public and private sectors and with civil society of other regions of
the worlds
Yes, through the involvement with international and regional artists in festivals, concerts, exchanges, workshops
etc. Here are two example:
64/74
Colours of the Nile Documentary Film Festival:
For two years running, the Ethiopian Film Makers Association, in collaboration with a local company, Blue Nile Film
and Television Academy, hosted 50 foreign directors/ cinematographers/ actors/ producers/ sound/ lighting/
costumes/ set design, scriptwriters in Ethiopia for two weeks to work with 150 Ethiopian film makers.
The event included:
- 30 Free public screenings of local and international documentaries and feature films in 3 venues in National
Theatre, Alliance Francaise and Pushkin Centre. These were followed by public discussion with the director.
- Creating opportunities for scriptwriters to receive feedback and co-funding from foreign filmmakers to produce 3
films. This included local Ethiopian filmmakers.
- Exchange of skills, master classes, training, showcasing and discussion of films
This event was open to the general audience targeted in the training component. Filmmakers were drawn from all
regions. Youth and women where majority of the 150 participants were women, also had the exposure and training.
(see also Selam Ethiopia in the Preferential treatment and its capacity building programs in the field of music)
Pan-African Circus Festival, by Fekat Circus
In November 2015, a dynamic group of Ethiopian young circus lovers called the Fekat Circus (the blossoming
circus) organized the first African Circus Arts Festival with the support of UNESCO, the Prince Claus Fund,
Fondation Alta Mane Geneva, Fondazione Alta Mane Italia, and few other minor donors.
Totally, 107 performers from Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Senegal, South-Africa and Zambia attended the
event to link, share, and highlight the continent’s cultural wealth and diversity.
The Festival program included three days shows in a central cultural venue, two days workshop among the artists,
and three days meeting among the circus managers. Besides giving a vast audience (12,000 people) the
opportunity to attend a unique circus performance, the Festival has been an occasion for African circuses to exhibit
their talent, gain visibility, exchange experiences, and acquire new tools to better develop and promote themselves.
Despite its cultural, social and economic importance, circus is still poorly recognized in Ethiopia. Considering its
expansion and the actual economic boom in several African countries, the Festival has been a successful way to
showcase circus as an art form to count with in the continent’s development.
Main Festival out-puts:
- Creation of an African Circus Alliance (with 8 African circuses)
- Circus attracted the attention of local authorities, who then decided to open a TVET on circus arts.
The second edition of the Festival is scheduled in November 2017 thanks to funds from the European Union.
This extend beyond festivals and reach toward the cultural diplomacy.
65/74
The Ethiopian Writer Association and its international programme:
The Ethiopian Writer Association has a few international bi-lateral agreements. For example with the Egyptian
writer association (mutual invitations and literature workshops are planned) or the Russian Writer association (only
one meeting has happened so far). The strongest connection is with the Sudan Writer Association.
They also have a pan-african vision. In 2014, they organized a African Writer Association Meeting: 50 members
from all over Africa and even African American writers spend a week in Addis, all paid by the organisation through
sponsors. All organization developed good relationships but the dynamic of organizing another meeting in a
different country is weak.
Since the Ethiopian Writer Association received a land from the municipality (3000 m2 plot), they want to organize
the Pan-Afirican Writer Association and build a modern office, a guest house, a library and a stage for public
readings. A school of architecture is currently working on the project that will need to be funded.
We can also mention a public-private partnership: The Ethiopian Art for All festival, orgenised jointly by the MoCT
and the Visual Artists Assoication for the 3 past years. This festival based in Addis, but inviting artists from Amhara
and Oromia regional states is changing venues evey year. In 2014, it was orgenised in Addis Ababa’s private
galleries with additonal street performances, in 2015 it was held at the Ethioian Cultural Center and in 2016 at the
Oromo Cultural Center of Addis Ababa. The budget of this event is provided by the Ministry of Culture (around 86
000birr)
The Ethiopian Visual Arts Association has established a partnership with the Youth Suddanese Plastic Artists Union
thanks to the Nile Basin countries cultural cooperation programme.They already had reciprocal visits and exhibi-
tions.
Challenges encountered or foreseen to implement the Convention (List them)
Challenge 1: Lack of awareness about the Convention
Challenge 2: Divergent organisations in same sector, lack of coordination, lack of finance, with not all sectors
having representative bodies.
Challenge 3: Skills in organisation, administration, management, public speaking and public relations, leadership,
and advocacy abilities are poorly developed.
Challenge 4: No consistent curriculum implementation for fashion, design, film and music from grassroots level
through full degrees. This contributes to the consequences for cultural clashes for instance in fashion design.
Challenge 5: The requirement that country based NGOs generate 90% of their income from domestic sources
before they can work on rights issues is a challenge.
Challenge 6: High taxation for equipment needed for cultural production (eg audio-visual equipment) as these are
not luxury items.
Challenge 7: The freshhold to obtain a licence (event, gallery, film….) is hight and doesn’t give acces to self-tauch
artitsts/curator who could otherwise be very dynamic. The length of the process to obetain a licence is also a
impediment to the dynamic of the sector.
66/74
Solutions found or envisaged (List them)
Solution 1: Training and capacity building to address all challenges above.
Solution 2: Creating platforms to bring divergent organisations to cooperate or work under one umbrella and to
work in partnership with government.
Solution 3: Awareness raising about the cultural sectors and cultural industries and their role in development.
Solution 4: Implement and support relevant arts and culture education and training from basic education levels to
tertiary levels to develop an appreciation of all cultures (traditional, contemporary and foreign) and training in the
practice of these cultural expressions.
Solution 5: To support the envisaged Arts Council to contribute to seeking solutions to the challenges mentioned
here.
Solution 6: To reduce and minimize the high taxes on equipment (not produced in Ethiopia) needed for the
production of cultural goods and services.
Solution 7: To remove the need of special licencing for cultural events, products and businesses.
Activities planned for next 4 years to implement the Convention
Activity 1: Civil Society to engage fully in the planning of the proposed Arts Council.
Activity 2: Create a Copyright management association with the support of the governamant.
Activity 3: The soon to be established Design Association plans to implement design hubs to research and
understand cultural and traditional aspects of a resource and pay attention to artistic creation, production,
dissemination and consumption of local Ethiopian design. A second Design Week Addis Ababa is being planned
for Mid Jan 2017.
Activity 4: The project is to develop that festival in an African Art for All, then International Art for all Festival, not
only in Addis but in regions as well.

Describe main results achieved in implementing the Convention
Many aspects of the Convention have been implemented as shown in this report. However, implementing the
Convention in its entirety would result in a formidable transformation in Ethiopia`s cultural sector and international
cooperation. It will also serve as a benchmark for future engagements and development in the development of the
diversity of cultural expression.
Challenges encountered or foreseen to implement the Convention
Introducing the Convention and creating a common understanding among various parties who are prominent in the
implementation has remained a challenge.
There is a lack of data, absence of statistics and documented good practices.
Poor coordination of efforts (between government and civil society, or between divergent civil society associations,
or between different departments of government) exerted here and there becomes a sobering challenge to gear
towards the common good.
The lack of Amharic (and other local language) versions of the Convention (or a good summary) has provided
difficulties in ensuring awareness and common understanding of this document
Solutions found or envisaged to overcome those challenges
To use media, trainings, workshops, public forums etc. to achieve greater awareness of the possibilities and
opportunities provided by the Convention.
To use data, good practice and statistics to pinpoint achievements and opportunities for the cultural sector.
To support the civil society, private interprises, associations to become more representative and to speak with a
common voice.
To develop a summary version in Amharic (and other local languages) for use in seminars, workshops and public
meetings.
Collect data and evaluations regularly for feedback to the stakeholders (government – different civil society, private
sector)
Steps planned for the next 4 years
1- To ensure implementation of the Memorandum of Agreement between Ministry of Culture and Tourism and civil
society.
2- To maximaise media coverage, trainings, workshops, public forums etc. to achieve greater awareness of the
possibilities and opportunities provided by the Convention.
3- Increase international cooperation thorough developing bilateral and multilateral agreements, supporting the
mobility of artists, hosting of international events and forums.
68/74
4- Lift the contribution of culture in sustainable development by ensuring its implementation in the Growth and
Transformation Development Plan II.
5- Work with UNESCO office of the Addis Ababa branch to achieve these steps.
6- Provide capacity building in multiple aspects for artists and cultural practitioners especially in the area of
performance, finance, logistics, leadership and advocacy.

Additional clarifications
Ethiopia is still stetting up its national cultural statistics system, the first data are not yet available. It should also be
noted that in a developing country where informality is common in the sector of cultural activities, goods and
services, an accurate data collection is a real challenge. For example, most of the bookshops are small
outdoor booth, artists self produce their album and don't register it for copyrights.
