The NUFU II Project
With this project we continue the research cooperation between Addis Ababa University and the University of Tromsø.
There are two main threads from the first NUFU period that we are following up in the new project. One is concerned with gender discourses and practices in Ethiopia while the other is related to formal and informal associations and networks. These topics will be looked at on different perspectives by seven researchers through five sub-projects.
