Recently, Ato Wondwosen Teka, Management Director of Ethiopia’s Industrial Parks Development Corporation (IPDC) turned to the leadership at FEPRA for assistance in developing the skills of fire fighters at three industrial parks. Industrial Parks development is a huge national endeavor and protecting its assets is critical for Ethiopia’s economy. “The strengthened technical capacity of FEPRA is allowing IPDC to establish fire departments with well-trained firefighters in its industrial parks,” noted Ato Wondwosen. The U.S. Forest Service has also provided unique assistance directly to IPDC. As an interagency partner, the U.S. Forest Service is committed to working with partners in Ethiopia to offer specialized programs, tools and approaches that help reach food security and resiliency goals.
