Capacity building training on smoke-free implementation, inspection, and enforcement

Venue: Harmony Hotel, Date: July 7, 2022

This workshop was entitled “Capacity building training on smoke-free implementation, inspection, and enforcement”. The capacity-building was conducted aiming to equip professionals from Arad and Kirkos sub-cities. The capacity-building helped Arada SC to share its experience with Kirkos professionals. The expected outcome was to capacitate professionals in integrity and professional ethics. MCDO facilitated the workshop and EFDA, AAFMAHCA, Arada and Kirkos professionals were participants.

The workshop was organized into two main sessions. The first session started with introductions and presentations from MCDO and AAFMHACA. The introduction by MCDO was followed by presentations on Pre-inspection, Inspection, and Post Inspection by Mr Ashenafi, the AASFI contact person.

The second session was dedicated to discussions on cases. Arada SC professionals raised different cases that need attention and helped as an experience sharing for the newly added Kirkos SC professionals. The participants reflected on the cases raised and discussed related issues like professionals’ integrity and professionals’ safety. The workshop was productive since it was able to capacitate the professionals and shared experiences with the Kirkos professionals. The capacity-building workshop was finalized by taking a group photo and having lunch together.
