He emphasized that the just concluded
exercise is a university training, and therefore it is result – oriented.
Hence, there should be a follow-up to find out how far the training will be
implemented at all levels within the Country. The local Catholic University
(Ethiopian Catholic University of St. Thomas Aquinas) will play a great role in
this. As the coordinating university, CUEA shall make a periodic evaluation on
the impact of the training.
He also thanked the
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) for their tireless support
from the inception to the implementation stage of this project. He also appreciated those who coordinated the training and
all the lecturers from the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) for the
good work done.
