The joint on-site visit has taken place on February 1, 2024. This kind of on-site visit is an integral joint visit of stakeholders to visit establishments on site and inspect thereon. It is organized in the context of a joint or integrated on-site visit of stakeholders in Arada, Kirkos, Lideta and Gullele sub-cities, where progress of establishments and adherence to the proclamation 1112/2019 is observed on spot. This inspection was conducted on Arada and Kirkos sub cities. The on-site visit gathered stakeholders of AASFI together and its expected outcome is to ensure the establishment’s adherence to SF requirements. The on-site inspectors were from EFDA, AAFMHCA (now AAFDA), Arada FMHCA, Kirkos FMHACA, and MCDO. Half of the participants from AAFMHACA are new to such activities. Thus, this is a good platform to work in joint. The overall on-site visit was finalized by hearing feedback from the participants and having a meal together which yielded a fruitful discussion over lunch, especially about engaging the newly appointed FMHACA sub city branch officials and police. Further discussion and progress review was made in MCDO office among staff.
