China provides Ethiopia agricultural, technical, and vocational training

In 2001, the Ministry of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia signed an agreement to reform Ethiopia's agricultural technical and vocational training, with China providing instructors for practical training (see 'Ethio-China cooperation on ATVET colleges’ empowerment'). The agreement would be renewed each fiscal year, with China selecting instructors and Ethiopia funding other program costs.
