This thematic area focuses on human resources development through collaboration with teaching institutions or professional associations in lecturing or availing technical resources to improve knowledge, skills and practice/performance. This may include identifying and facilitating individuals or groups from the diaspora to commit time to lecture, mentor, supervise graduate students virtually or in-person, etc.; helping in curriculum review/revision/harmonization; planning and conducting tele-pharmacy and build video conferencing capacity; identifying sources for a donation of technical books, journals, and online publications; identifying teaching/research institutions to twin/link with Ethiopian institutions.
Lack of public awareness of medicine use and abuse is a challenge that has not been given due attention. There are challenges in availability, consistency and audience-oriented IEC materials in the sector. This thematic area will contribute to raising public awareness on the use and dangers of medicines through pharmacy events and capacitating different media platforms to play an active role in public knowledge and engagement. EPPAD is conducting supply and demand-driven surveys to mobilize experts to provide knowledge exchange initiatives. Coordination in this area is being actively pursued with the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Ethiopian Pharmaceutical Association and twenty public schools of pharmacies in Ethiopia.
