Ethiopia has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. The country has been registering a double digit growth for the last twelve consecutive years. Located in the region of the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia is the 2nd most populated country in Africa. Ethiopia’s construction sector has outgrown that of its neighbors. The construction sector will grow at an annual average growth of 18.6% and will be fueled by a swell in infrastructure investments in the region. Ethiopia has also several agreements that grant duty free access to many countries, including European countries and the USA. Business friendly climate, duty free access and competitive labour costs have successfully created new investments and employment opportunities. Ethiopia is also a member of COMESA which has an access to 20 African countries.

The Ethiopian Christian culture dates back to the emergence of Christianity and continues vibrantly today. This long tradition makes Ethiopia a unique place to visit and study. Our seminar focuses on Ethiopian Christianity and its connections with the Eastern Mediterranean in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The theme includes the early reception of Christianity in Ethiopia, the emergence of a Christian state, and the development of the distinct Ethiopian Church. We explore the relations between Ethiopia and the Roman Empire, Persia, Egypt and Palestine up to the Crusades, and discuss distinct Ethiopian traditions in connection with Judaism and Islam. We will visit the late antique city of Aksum and the world-famous rock-hewn churches in Lalibela, as well as number of ancient monasteries, participate at a pilgrimage and meet with students and professors at two Ethiopian universities.
The seminar gives an exceptional opportunity to get to know Ethiopian Christianity which is an often neglected field of study in Nordic universities, despite the fact that several important early Jewish and Christian texts are only preserved in Ge’ez, the ancient Ethiopian language. We pay special attention to the diverse cultural manifestations of religion, including archaeology, art history, architecture, music and literature, theology and Church practices, general history, trade and international relations. The participants are invited to study texts in their traditional contexts and as part of the wider material culture.
Our seminar is the second of a number of Nordic PhD-seminars arranged by the Nordic Network for the Study of Judaism, Christianity and Islam in the First Millennium (NNJCI), a network of PhD students and faculty from Nordic academic institutions. For more, see http://nnjci.mf.no/.

The major goal of this Training of Trainers (ToT) workshop is to create a large pool of experts in the area of gender-responsive economic policy management. This pool of experts will be equipped to act as trainers for the two-week course on gender-responsive economic policy management organized for middle and senior African policymakers and which takes place on an annual basis at IDEP’s headquarters in Dakar, Senegal. Successful applicants may also be considered to be included in IDEP’s roster of gender experts.
The course aims at providing training on agricultural policy with a view to strengthening and/or renewing the knowledge and capacity of African policy makers, including senior managers, negotiators, advisors, planners and analysts, to meet the core challenges of growing the agricultural sector as a central engine of national economic development and social policy. In doing so, the course will expose participants not only to the current state of knowledge and the comparative lessons which are available to Africa, but also some of the best practices that serve as pertinent examples of how an integrated and comprehensive agricultural policy regime has been used to promote economic transformation and social well-being.
The course will serve the policy concerns which most African governments share of, among other things, improving agricultural output and productivity, nurturing the linkages between agriculture and other economic sectors, increasing national food security, combating poverty, expanding employment, promoting environmental sustainability, and enhancing sustainable rural livelihoods, including gender equality. These are concerns that have also been embraced by the African Union, the Regional Economic Communities (RECs), the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the African Development Bank (AfDB), and NEPAD.
