The Government of Ethiopia has put the policies and programs in place to address the gender related problems. Following this global objective, the Ministry of Women, Children and Youth Affairs with the funding of the European Commission, is implementing the project "Women's Empowerment and Gender Equality through Institutional Capacity Building and Entrepreneurship", of which this assignment is a part. The specific project purposes are twofold:
1. Improved performance of the Women's Affairs Structure to better deliver its mandate (The Women's Affairs Structure combines all the public institutions in charge for women's empowerment and gender equality in Ethiopia).
2. Improved skills to facilitate access to livelihood means for selected groups of women in the pilot areas.
The training needs in Construction (Plumber, Plastering and Painting) have been identified by the "Market Survey, Baseline Gathering and Mapping Study" that has been done prior to this activity. This training will be market oriented and will allow beneficiary women to enhance vocational skills and to engage in Income Generating Activities.
