The Nifas Silk Branch Office of the Addis Ababa Food and Medicine Authority conducted an awareness-raising training session for school food preparers, focusing on food handling and hygiene.

More than 400 food preparers participated in this session—the second of its kind—which was organized in collaboration with the sub-city’s Education Office.

The objective of the training is to ensure the safety and healthy provision of food for students by enhancing the awareness of those who prepare the meals.

Ato Shebelaw Tegegn, Manager of the Branch Office, stated that, in addition to the training, inspection activities have been carried out in all schools that provide meal services, and any identified gaps have been reported to the relevant authorities.

Furthermore, an agreement was reached to engage in ongoing, collaborative efforts to ensure that the food preparers translate the knowledge gained during the training into practice, thereby bringing about positive change.

The training was presented in a manner that was both clear and engaging for the participants. The forum concluded with clarifications provided by the Education Office and the branch office in response to questions and comments raised by the participants.
