The Ethiopian Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ESOG) - the publisher of the Ethiopian Journal of Reproductive Health (EJRH) - is a professional association subject to Ethiopia’s law on Civil Societies. For many years, the law had not allowed ESOG to carry advertisements on its publications. There have been recent changes made on the law regulating civil societies in Ethiopia. ESOG is working with its legal team in finding ways to accept and administer paid advertisements within a legal framework. An update will be available here when and if our publication is ready to accept paid advertisements.
