SUMMARY:Day time inspection in Kirkos sub-cities \, Addis Ababa .
DESCRIPTION:December 14 and 15\, 2022\, a daytime inspection was conducted both in Kirkos sub-cities. This inspection is the second daytime inspection to be conducted in Kirkos. A thorough orientation was given to district professionals and focal persons on December 13\, 2022. Issues were raised regarding the inspection checklist\, how to take legal measures\, and logistics for inspection. We also oversaw the overall activity jointly with AA-FMHACA and sub-city FMHACA during the inspection process. IEC/BCC materials and No-smoking signs were distributed during the on-site inspection and meetings. Establishments which failed to post the No-Smoking coloured sticker were given new ones and re-introduced to the concept of posting the stickers on visible spots. Regardless of the challenge on the field\, Kirkos sub-city has shown promising progress as we have witnessed in the previous inspection.
