Strengthening Education for Mining (STEM)
Global Affairs Canada – $12M CAD

The objective of STEM is to increase the skills and qualifications of Ethiopian women and men for work in the mining sector in Ethiopia by strengthening key Ethiopian universities to develop more industry-driven geology and mining engineering undergraduate programs. The programs will improve the employability of university graduates by supporting the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system. TVET will deliver training on high-priority occupational standards and implement innovative short-term training programs to improve the employability of local communities in mining-related fields, particularly women with low levels of education.

By the end of the project, it is expected that male and female graduates from the mining programs of the targeted universities should have excellent qualifications and relevant skills to meet the job demands of employers within Ethiopia either with mining companies, as self-employed consultants, or within the Government of Ethiopia ( Likewise, Universities and TVET institutions will have established strong relationships with the mining companies and be capable of delivering the curriculum and supporting other institutions by sharing instructors for modular courses, sharing curricula, sharing laboratory and library resources, and sharing good practices and lessons learned for female student success in mining programs. In addition, women and men from local communities around targeted mine sites will have basic skills to gain mine-related employment. Socio-cultural barriers to women’s employment will be reduced, and the trainers and institutions involved in the project will be capable of offering relevant training to women and men in local communities that can make them ready for employment at the mine sites

Technical Assistance to Strengthen Capacity Development for the Productive Safety Net Program Phase 4 (PSNP4)
World Bank – $13.3M USD

In June 2015, the Government of Ethiopia launched the fourth phase of a food security programme, which included a Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP4), in 318 rural woredas in eight regions of Ethiopia. The expected outcome of the PSNP 4 project is “enhanced participation in improved rural safety net, livelihood and nutrition services by food insecure female/male headed households.” Building on the success of the original Safety Net Support Facility (SNSF) project which supported the first phase of PSNP, Alinea aims to provide technical assistance in a number of priority areas to strengthen government systems and processes for PSNP 4.

More specifically, by building the government’s ability to provide for its own capacity development needs in the areas of: human and physical resource management; adoption of program-wide systemic approaches; development and delivery of needs-based capacity development programs; program coordination and management; and institutionalization of capacity development within the government. Technical assistance, training and other job-embedded support provided by Alinea will address issues of gender equality and social development, draw on international best practices, and develop the capacity of the Government’s capacity development resource pool.

Support to Agricultural Growth in Ethiopia (AGP)
Global Affairs Canada

This agriculture project is supporting the second phase of the Government of Ethiopia’s Agriculture Growth Programme (AGP-2) by strengthening the capacity of government staff and implementing agencies responsible for AGP-2 to improve its delivery, thereby supporting the agriculture sector in Ethiopia, and the production, commercialization, research and small-scale irrigation sub-sectors. Alinea staff are working to facilitate a common, systemic approach to AGP-2 implementation and build the capacity of federal, regional, zonal, and woreda staff to facilitate and train, and to develop training programs based on adult learning principles and practices. At the same time, and through a learning-by-doing approach, the project is supporting AGP-2 Project Coordinating Units and key implementing agencies to implement AGP-2 in an efficient and high-quality manner. The project is being implemented in 161 woredas in 35 zones, providing approximately 5,000 government and non-government personnel with new skills and competencies to improve the quality of AGP-2 implementation. These individuals will know how to develop, train and facilitate good capacity strengthening and application programs based on a well-defined, systematic capacity development approach, and be able to correctly apply the AGP-2 administrative and management operations, systems and processes; promote linkages, coordination and collaboration; and ensure that gender, safeguards, nutrition and climate-smart initiatives are well-integrated across all program components.

Small-Scale and Micro Irrigation Support (SMIS) Project
Global Affairs Canada and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands

This five-year initiative supported efforts to improve food security in Ethiopia through the development of sustainable, gender responsive irrigated agriculture. Alinea worked with government agencies at regional, zonal, and wordea levels to enhance their capacity to implement Ethiopia’s Small-Scale Irrigation Capacity Building Strategy. Through the project, these agencies expanded their capacity and skills in agricultural irrigation from a simple, implementation-based approach to one that emphasizes planning, coordination and supervision. The project had three key components: small-scale irrigation capacity building for key Government of Ethiopia agencies and personnel; capacity development of Agricultural Technical Vocational Education and Training (A-TVET) Colleges; and promotion of household micro-irrigation among local farmer groups and small-scale entrepreneurs. Watershed management issues were also addressed as a secondary component.

Safety Net Support Facility (SNSF) and SNSF “Bridge” Funding
World Bank – $11M USD

Ethiopia’s

wide-ranging Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) is a government-led program addressing the nation’s chronic food insecurity. Managed by Alinea, the Safety Net Support Facility (SNSF) used an innovative, 4-stage approach to strengthen the capacity of the Government of Ethiopia in PSNP implementation at the federal, regional and local levels; thus improving program coordination, collaboration, administration and management, skills and knowledge, and strengthening capacity for ongoing program delivery.

PSNP’s leaders report significantly improved program performance attributable to Alinea’s training initiatives and extensive, on-the-job support at all levels. Under SNSF, Alinea has prepared more than 50 participant guides, facilitator handbooks, and manuals related to the delivery of approximately 20 training courses on various topics. A particularly successful endeavor has been the training of an elite group of 200 Champion Facilitators who have learned to successfully facilitate adult learning best practices for content delivery. The success of the initial SNSF commitment led to three consecutive minor contracts awarded to Alinea to manage bridge funding, and a recent fifth contract directly with the World Bank to implement the second phase, PSNP4 (2016 – 2020, USD $11.6M).
