GIZ- Health Program
Background
As a provider of international cooperation services for sustainable development and international education work, GIZ – Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit – is dedicated to building a future worth living around the world.
Around the world, we have over 50 years of experience in a wide variety of areas, including rural and economic development, education and employment, energy and the environment, and peace and security. Together with our partners, we work to deliver flexible, effective and cost-effective solutions that offer people better prospects and sustainably improve their living conditions.
As a public-benefit German federal enterprise, we are committed to meeting our clients’ high standards of transparency and accountability. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is our main commissioning party. European Union institutions, the United Nations, the private sector and national governments also benefit from our services.
In Ethiopia, GIZ has been implementing development programmes on behalf of the German government for over 40 years together with our national partners. The focus of our work in the country is on vocational education, sustainable use of natural resources, land management and food security, biodiversity and forestry. Other programmes e.g. enhance development of a sustainable textile sector and renewable energies in Ethiopia.
The Ministry of Health has invested significantly in the health sector, enabling it to improve primary health care. As the care infrastructure has expanded, however, the shortage of specialists has grown more severe. Moreover, the use of biomedical technology is becoming increasingly common in health care and learning how to apply it should be included in training for health professionals. Therefore, the programme will provide advice and support to the Ministries of Health and Education and the regional health authority in Oromia as well as to vocational training centers, a teaching hospital in Nekemte and other health care institutions, with a view to enhancing the basic and further practical training of medical technicians and nursing staff.
