Center for Women, Children and Youth Studies

Dilla University Center for Women, Children and Youth Studies (CWCYS)

The mission of Dilla University Center for Women, Children and Youth Studies is to run multidisciplinary researches, trainings and consultancy and inform policy decision concerning the wellbeing and welfare of women, children, and youth in Ethiopia. The Center strives for a research center of excellence working for the wellbeing and welfare of women, children, and youth in Ethiopia.To design policies and intervention plans that address the social, economic, cultural and political issues related to women, children, and youth, bridging the knowledge deficit becomes a central task of academic institutions. Accordingly, Center for Women, Children and Youth Studies was established to generate research-based evidence on policy and practice and helps policy makers and practitioners to properly know areas of intervention, cooperation and support in matters that influence the lives of women, children and youth in Ethiopia.

Currently, the center is engaged in activities such as producing research based knowledge for solving the problems and improving the lives of women, children and youth, offering research based training for all bodies involved in issues related to women, children and youth so as to solve their problems. Moreover the center is actively involved in providing research based consultancies & community service to all bodies involved in issues related to women, children and youth. Generating an open access data base for researchers, practitioners and policy makers to build bridges that link research, theory and practice to inform policy on women, children and youth related issues is also the current concern of the Center.
