07/07/2025
The curriculum is part of wider efforts to modernise the country’s leather sector and was developed in collaboration with the Ministries of Agriculture, Industry, and Labour and Skills. According to UNIDO-LISEC National Project Coordinator, Wondu Legesse, it will form the basis for training manuals in TVET colleges and related institutions, aiming to address persistent quality issues in the supply chain.
UNIDO has also revised the national regulatory framework for hides and skins and handed over an automated slaughtering machine to an Ethiopian abattoir to help reduce wastage. Other interventions include upgrading slaughterhouses, establishing mobile abattoirs, and expanding training for certified professionals.
