Although not all AMECEA Bishops have benefitted from the
workshop training, the secretariat will ensure that all are incorporated at
the end of the project. The department has however opted to commence the same training
for top management staff of the dioceses from AMECEA Conferences. The training
workshops will be conducted at the Conference level and will select the
conferences alphabetically beginning with Ethiopia in August 2013.
