I visited Addis Ababa, Ethiopia between February 10 and 26th to complete two objectives. First, arrange the next skill assessment of workers in SME garment firms operating in Addis Ababa. Second, to make logistical arrangements for the upcoming SKY validation workshop.

The new vision of the Government focuses on labor quality as a means of improving labor productivity and wage growth in accordance with the needs of the current workforce and the industry as an alternative to simply hiring new skilled workers. SKY project will continue to support the Government vision through research.
