In the local area, an initiative is underway to strengthen skills for Integrated Care for Older People. The World Health Organization is providing support for this effort. The project is funded by the Government of Japan, specifically through the TICAD9 Japanese Supplementary Budget for the Japanese fiscal year 2025.

It is part of a larger project focused on restoring and digitizing health services in Ethiopia. Further details about the initiative, including its goals and expected outcomes, are available from the source. A training session has been held, with participation from officials such as Dr Haimanot Workneh, who works on maternal and child health programs.
