The United States Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia offers a week-long capacity building workshop for senior editors from private and state media organizations across Ethiopia. This workshop is the latest effort by the U.S. embassy to invest in the capacity of professional journalists in Ethiopia. Other recent projects include a national training program for 160 journalists on investigative reporting on development issues. The training was a joint program with the UK Embassy to provide capacity building and foster cooperation for 400 journalists and government communicators. In addition, the United States Embassy in Addis Ababa has also launched recently a Fund for Emerging Media in Ethiopia, which seeks to support the long term stability and professional development of emerging private media.
