Today, we successfully conducted a research findings dissemination workshop in collaboration with Fenot Associates. The workshop had two main sessions. The first presentation, titled “Bridging the Divide: Readiness of Ethiopian Public Universities for Evidence Translation,” was delivered by Dr. Mitswat, followed by a brief reflection and discussion.
The second presentation, “Evidence-Informed Health System Strengthening in West Shoa Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia: Gap Analysis and Action Plan,” was presented by Mr. Jiregna D. on behalf of the survey team members Mr. Jiregna D., Ms. Mariam A. and Mr. Kefyalew N.
Following the presentations, participants engaged in validation, prioritization, and in-depth discussions. The workshop was fruitful and laid a strong foundation for future collaboration.
We sincerely thank Fenot Associates for bringing the zone closer to our university. We also extend our appreciation to the Oromia Health Bureau (OHB), West Shoa Zone administrators, cluster leaders, and all workshop participants for their valuable contributions.
Finally, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Muluneh Firomsa RCECD for his dedication to the successful accomplishment of this workshop.
