Piloting digital learning on agri-food business and environmental informatics in Ethiopia

Ethiopia is highly dependent on agriculture for its economy, as well as for the day-to-day subsistence of its citizens. Wollo University in Dessie has been one of the most ambitious in the country in testing learning solutions around agriculture and implementing projects aimed to prepare its graduates for the job market in key sectors, including agriculture.

Through a Diaspora Professionals 4 Development (DP4D) action with EUDiF, five Ethiopian diaspora professionals are helping Wollo University to develop its first digital curriculum on agri-food business and innovation technology. The global Covid-19 pandemic and national crisis have tested the capacities of the university and put many initiatives on hold. In the face of this, Wollo University, EUDiF and the team of diaspora professionals remain fully committed to offering post-crisis support and to tailoring said support to the current needs.
