Kings college (London) with The Belt and Road Initiative Leadership Education Network

The Belt and Road Initiative Leadership Education Network is a three-year project funded by the British Council UK-China-BRI Countries Partnership Fund and led by the African Leadership Centre (ALC), King’s College London, as a joint collaboration between: -

College of Law, Debre Berhan University; Centre for African Studies, Peking University; Institute for Development Studies, University of Nairobi; Department of Political Science, University of Pretoria; Department of Political Science and Public Administration, University of Buea; Department of History and International Studies, University of Jos; Department of International Relations, Obafemi Awolowo University; College of Law, Institute of African Studies, and the University of Legon.

The project aims to utilise and adapt the ALC’s unique Leadership training programmes, to develop transferrable and scale-able Masters-level Global Leadership Modules through online and blended learning. In September 2019, as part of the project, DBU College of Law was able to participate in the meeting of the “Universities Network on Global Leadership, Peace and Development: Creating Educational and Societal Transformation”, held in London.

This was a research project funded by FDRE Justice and Law Institute to conduct an empirical research on the ethical conduct of federal public prosecutors. The research finding was presented before various stakeholders and after incorporating comments provided during the workshop, the research work successfully finalized and submitted to the institute in January 2023.

This was a project designed to support Debre Berhan University School of Law in it activities of ensuring access to justice. The activities planned to be undertaken in the implementation of the project are provision of free legal aid services and engagement of students to clinical legal education. In long term, the project sets a goal to ensure access to justice thereby supports the democratization process of the Ethiopian legal system through the protection and promotion of human rights. The project has ended in August 2022 after serving a total of 1600 beneficiaries.
