Ethiopian Civil Societies Coalition for Scaling Up Nutrition (ECSC SUN) successfully completed skill and knowledge training, which was rendered at Mekelle town from February 5-7,2025.
ECSC SUN has been implementing Women Economic Empowerment and Adolescent Initiative (WEE & AI) intervention in 3 regions. This pilot project is intended to accelerate change in food production and consumption in Tigray, Afar and Somali regions.
The project is aligned and implemented in collaboration with Save the Children Gender Equality Program (GEP) in Afar and Somali as well as Mums for Mums in Tigray regions. To upgrade capacity of GEP staff, Government sectors and implementing partners involved in WEE and AI, the training is organized. This training has covered components like basic nutrition, adolescent nutrition and home gardening. Actors engaged in the project implantation have multi-disciplinary background and inconsistent understanding on the intersection between gender and nutrition. As a result, during previous fiscal year some implementation gaps were observed.
According to participants, the training enabled all actors in process be on same page, improve quality of implementation and, avoid deviation that may arise due to knowledge and skill gap. The training helps not only to equipped with home gardening skill, but also to share knowledge and experience among trainees.
