By definition, advocacy for improved education, health, well-being, poverty alleviation, personal security, anti-corruption and the like are for individual citizens to engage it. After all, governments and NGOs can only do what they are set to do within the framework of their existence. It is up to ordinary people to bring new issues to the attention of existing NGOs and incumbent governments. I know that we are all worried about many us duplicating each others' efforts. Aside from that, would you say there is current issue that ordinary members of the Ethiopian society should be taking up?
