TUC Aid project update: Supporting employment rights of disabled people in Ethiopia

Following the launch of the employment support programme for disabled people in Ethiopia, initial discussions between the Confederation of Ethiopian Trade Unions (CETU) and Disability Aid Abroad (DAA), have focused on the organisation of training activities based on the concept of Disability Champions and on their integration into CETU’s recent work on disability rights.

CETU is developing a draft programme of activities including training workshops in close collaboration with DAA. It is envisaged that Neil Alldred from DAA will travel to Ethiopia at the end of the summer/ beginning of autumn (August/September 2016) to take part in one particular training activity and to help finalise the rest of the three-year programme.
