Library

One of the mandates of FSS is to set up a research library to collect and preserve government documents, publications from the NGO and donor community, and fugitive literature useful for development and policy research.

At present there is only one research library in the country, located at Addis Ababa University, but this is restricted to staff and students of the University. The FSS library is open to researchers from government departments, NGOs, civic groups, donor agencies and academic institutions. We, at FSS, believe such a library is an important asset to many agencies which at present are constrained by lack of access to important documents and data sources.  

The FSS library collection contains publications on social issues such as, sociology, economics, land tenure, food security, poverty, gender etc.  All the collections are catalogued electronically using CDS/ISIS software.
