Some social associations are also increasingly approaching the Center for some collaborative works; one among them that deserves mentioning here is The Kistane Development Association. In response to the association’s request, the Center assigned one of its staff members to help the association in the preparation of Kistaninya-Amharic-English Tri-lingual Dictionary. The first edition of the dictionary is now completed and published; for the next editions, the center’s collaboration will continue likewise.

At the international level of partnership and collaboration, the Center has been working with The Christensen Fund. The Center has got so far four (4) rounds of funding for some of its dictionary projects from this organization.
