As part of capacitating the working constituents, a technical workshop was convened from 24 - 25 August 2022, to orient these key federal and regional M&E focal points with the overarching M&E frameworks and reviewing ProAgro progress tracking systems and toolsets in a participatory manner.

Focal persons have participated from Federal Confederation of Ethiopian Employers Trade Unions (CEETU), Sidama region Regional Jobs, Skill and Enterprise Development (BOJSED), Regional Investment Commissions and Bureau of Trade and Industry. From Amhara region, Regional Bureau of Labour and Training (BoLT), Bureau of Industry and Investment (BoII) and CEETU, have participated in the workshop.
